Project Overview

A memory is perhaps the most fragile and personal of all our possessions. The ability to form and retrieve an episodic memory requires a very complex set of neurobiological processes in the brain. Although some of the neurobiology underlying memory is well worked out, there is much to be learned.…

Project Overview

Spinal cord injury leads to permanent and severe paralysis and loss of sensation. The principal reason for this is that nerve cells connecting the brain with the rest of the body lose the capacity to regenerate their processes (axons) as they mature during development. Despite decades of progress, no regenerative…

Project Overview

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are new neurotechnology tools that let our brains communicate directly with external devices in real-time. Their main application is to help people with paralysis control electronic devices like a computer, or even their own paralyzed muscles. The area of the brain mostly used for BCI studies is…

Project Overview

Each year, 12.6 million babies worldwide are born when the pregnancy is between 32-36 weeks. This is too early and called moderate-late preterm (MLPT). MLPT babies are more likely to have problems with development and behavior than term-born babies. However, MLPT babies are mostly seen as healthy babies and not…

Project Overview

The human brain is vulnerable to too much of mTOR signaling, An important neuronal pathway regulating neuronal development and activity. We study TSC, a neurodevelopmental disorder in which patients inherit a germline heterozygous mutation in genes regulating the mTOR pathway and commonly, a second somatic mutation causing mTOR hyperactivation in…
