MOLECMAP Quantitative Molecular Map of the Neuronal Surface

Coordinator: HUN REN KISERLETI ORVOSTUDOMANYI KUTATOINTEZET (HU)

The most fundamental roles of nerve cells are the detection of chemical neurotransmitters to generate synaptic potentials; the summation of these potentials to create their output signals; and the consequent release of their own neurotransmitter molecules. All of these functions require the orchestrated work of hundreds of molecules targeted to specialized regions of the cells. In nerve cells, more than in any other cell type, a single molecule could fulfill very different functional roles depending on its subcellular location. For example, dendritic voltage-gated Ca2+ channels play a role in…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €2.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2012-02-01 to 2017-01-31.
