Project Overview

The wiring of the brain connects biologically diverse neuronal populations, but the conventional graph model, which encodes the connectivity between these neuronal populations as a network of nodes and edges, abstracts away the rich biological detail of local brain regions. Here, we annotate connectomes with multiple biological attributes and formally…

Project Overview

This study explores how the loss of the Cell Adhesion Molecule 2 (CADM2) gene impacts brain processes related to reward and addiction. CADM2 is essential for maintaining connections between neurons and is primarily expressed in brain regions that control reward responses. Genetic studies have linked variations in the CADM2 gene…

Project Overview

Jordan Lee will train directly with Dr. Vaughan Macefield to learn an advanced nerve recording technique that measures the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls automatic body functions like heart rate and digestion. Excitingly, Dr. Macefield’s group is the only lab worldwide performing these types of nerve recordings…

Project Overview

Recently, blood tests have been developed that have shown great promise to be used in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. These blood tests measure proteins from the brain that are altered in Alzheimer’s disease called “biomarkers”. An important step in moving these blood tests forward towards clinical use is to…
