Abstract
Several large-scale international research initiatives have recently been launched, fuelling substantial financial investments in neuroscience and raising expectations for the development of new knowledge and therapies. Meeting these expectations will require global coordination of stakeholders and the adoption of team-based approaches that are not yet the norm for neuroscience.
