Congratulations to Gitte Moos Knudsen for being partner in the recently funded EU Horizon-RIA proposal "SYnergistic Neuroplasticity Enhancement via inteGrated neuRomodulation and Individualized Algorithms in MDD (SYNERGIA)". The 5-year project project has received ~8 million EUR in funding under the EU grant activity called HORIZON-HLTH-2025-03-DISEASE-02, and it will be coordinated by Francesca Castaldo from the Barcelona-based company Neuroelectrics. The NRU share of the grant amounts to 1.545.245 Euro.
The SYNERGIA project proposes a paradigm-shifting approach to the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) by combining psilocybin-induced neuroplasticity with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)-mediated consolidation, guided by computational whole-brain models. A small abstract for the project can be found below.
