New approaches in neurodevelopmental research increasingly seek to integrate enormous amounts of data through sophisticated informatics so as to determine the relationship between genotype and phenotypes, both structural and functional, as they change over time during development.

Major breakthroughs in neuroscience have been achieved through the application of computational models to empirical research.

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a severe dementia that is likely a result of years of buildup in the brain of molecules called amyloid-beta oligomers (AβOs).

More than 1 in 100 individuals are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with profound impacts on the quality of life of those who are affected and their families.

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) are two of the most common and devastating neurodegenerative diseases, affecting more than 2% of the population over the age of 65.

Synaptic plasticity is the process where the strength of connections between nerve cells is altered by experience.

Brain disorders such as autism, major depressive disorder and Alzheimer’s disease are among the greatest medical challenges of our era.

New neuroimaging techniques enable us to measure the key hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology before symptoms appear.

Mitochondrial dysfunctions are observed before and during the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the accumulation of toxic Tau protein in neurons leads to the formation of neurofbillary tangles, cell death, and cognitive impairments.
