Two immune cell types’ contact plays a major role in aging, and blocking a hormone’s influence on one of those types halted mice’s age-associated decline in multiple organs
Two new studies supported by the Knight Initiative highlight groundbreaking new early biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative disease.
We are proud to welcome the 2024 Neurosciences Postdoctoral Scholars — ten young scientists pursuing novel, multi-disciplinary approaches to understanding the workings of the brain.
Working in the Gibson Lab, Brain Resilience Postdoc Scholar Daniela Rojo looks at how abnormal changes in gene activity impact the cells involved in producing myelin to the extent that it leads to neurodegeneration in the brain.
By studying the independent evolution of the cephalopod nervous system, researchers like Matt McCoy seek to look past the differences to see common features that could teach us fundamental truths about the evolution of intelligence itself.
