The tools of molecular biology have only been applied to the study of the brain since the early 1980s, but it is already apparent that this approach holds promise for identifying strategies and drugs that are able to modify the activity and function of particular neural pathways. One of the greatest prizes--both for society and commercially--will be the discovery of a safe and effective drug to treat Alzheimer's disease.
自20世纪80年代初以来，分子生物学工具才被应用于大脑研究，但很明显，这种方法有望识别出能够改变特定神经通路活动和功能的策略及药物。对于社会和商业而言，最大的奖赏之一将是发现一种安全有效的治疗阿尔茨海默病的药物。
