Adolescence is a time of rapid brain maturation that is partly influenced by sex hormones. In this project, magnetic resonance imaging will be used to assess the influence of sex hormones on brain structure and function. Project Overview Adolescence is a time of rapid brain maturation that is...

Challenge: Current DRE standard of care is either DBS (Medtronic, Boston Scientific), Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS – Livanova) or Responsive Nerve Stimulation (RNS – NeuroPace). Project Overview Challenge: Current DRE standard of care is either DBS (Medtronic, Boston Scientific), Vagus Nerve...

Dr Bambico proposes to test a new and potentially groundbreaking experimental technique called EC stimulation, which will enable researchers to influence the activity of different kinds of neurons in any part of the brain without the need of major brain invasive surgery or complex genetic...

Our project proposes the development and first-step validation of a new, noninvasive mapping procedure of proteinopathy in asymptomatic older adults. Project Overview Our project proposes the development and first-step validation of a new, noninvasive mapping procedure of proteinopathy in...

A pathologic feature in both sporadic and familial ALS patients is the presence of large neuronal inclusions enriched with misfolded proteins, including SOD1, TDP43 and FUS that are frequently modified with the small protein ubiquitin (Ub) Project Overview A pathologic feature in both sporadic and...

The emerging consensus that the brain functions as a single, complex system has led to the popularity of a network approach to studying brain function. Project Overview The emerging consensus that the brain functions as a single, complex system has led to the popularity of a network approach to...

Substance use during pregnancy can have negative effects on infants, including congenital disabilities, delayed neurodevelopment, and long-term learning difficulties. Project Overview Substance use during pregnancy can have negative effects on infants, including congenital disabilities, delayed...

This research aims to unravel the mysteries of Rett syndrome (RTT), a severe neurodevelopmental condition primarily affecting girls, characterized by mental and physical impairments. Project Overview This research aims to unravel the mysteries of Rett syndrome (RTT), a severe neurodevelopmental...

The lifetime risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is approximately 1 in 350 for men and 1 in 440 for women, making it the most common adult-onset motor neuron disease. Project Overview The lifetime risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is approximately 1 in 350...
