Project Overview

Microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, are vital for healthy brain function. This is partially accomplished through their interactions with the primary brain cells, neurons, and those cells' connections, synapses. Microglia are highly responsive to changes in the environment, including lifestyle factors, which can modify their functions and interactions with…

Project Overview

Parent-child brain-to-brain synchrony is the coordinated interplay of brain activity between parent and child, which is believed to be evolutionarily important for strengthening bond formation. Thanks to recent advances, neuroscientists can now measure this brain-to-brain synchrony using hyperscanning (i.e., concurrent scanning of parent and child as they interact). High parent-child…
