Project Overview

Systems neuroscience owes much of its success to an empirical tradition of using simplified laboratory settings that carefully control sensory stimuli, motor responses, or other task-relevant variables in order to identify the neural mechanisms underlying different behavioral functions. However, while this approach facilitates interpretation of neural signals, it potentially limits…

Project Overview

At birth, some babies suffer from a condition called birth asphyxia, where their brain and organs do not receive enough oxygen or blood, leading to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). This life-threatening condition is responsible for 23% of babies’ deaths worldwide and often results in cerebral palsy and difficulties with learning and…
