Project Summary: The main focus of this project was to study recovery of hearing and cross-modal plasticity in a mouse model of cochlear gene therapy following congenital deafness. The fellow will train in small animal survival surgery and...
Project Summary: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a standard treatment for depression, with target location traditionally determined by empirical rules or group-level functional connectivity combined with individual structural MRI. However...
Project Summary: Mr. Majubu will lead a research study focused on how to improve hearing in profoundly deaf cochlear implant users. He will enroll subjects, collect, analyze date and communicate his findings.
Project Summary:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is prevalent and complex neurological disorder, characterised by a spectrum of cognitive, social, and communicative challenges first manifested in early childhood. Unique to every patient, ASD has a strong...
Project Summary: This project combines behavioral analysis, mathematical modeling, and simulation, as well as functional imaging in behaving larval zebrafish. We are trying to see how normal fish behaves in society differently from fish with mutated...
Project Summary: Voluntary movements, which are actions initiated without direct external stimuli, remain a central question in motor neuroscience. Unlike reactive movements, the timing of self-initiated actions must emerge from internal neural dynamics...
Project Summary: X-linked dystonia–parkinsonism (XDP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder found almost exclusively in the Philippines, caused by a mutation in the TAF1 gene. The disease devastates the striatum (particularly medium spiny neurons) leading...
Project Summary: Mr. Sperisen will be trained in an array of biochemical and biophysical techniques, and will then apply these techniques to determine whether specific forms of the Alzheimer's disease associated Abeta protein can be extracted from human...
Project Summary: The goal of the study is to measure the neural representation of sound frequency in mice while they are passively listening versus engaged in a behavioral discrimination task. We will use widefield epifluorescence imaging of a...
