The lab of Graham Diering, PhD, assistant professor of cell biology and physiology at the 大象传媒, shows how sleep loss during early life impacts key aspects of brain development and how it can increase one鈥檚 risk for developing autism spectrum disorder. Original full article can be found...

As Director of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Neuroscience Microscopy Core, Michelle Itano develops state-of-the-art imaging whilst training scientists far and wide. Here’s how she became a core facility leader that is forging collaborations between researchers and data scientists to drive bioscience forward. Original article continued here.

Williams, a former KL2/K12 scholar with NC TraCS, began her career as a veterinarian鈥攂ut is now studying pain in both animals and humans. Pain is a tricky thing to measure. Unlike metrics such as blood pressure, heart rate or even cancer presence鈥攁ll of which can be assessed with a test鈥攄iagnosing...

The 2024 Andrew S. Rachlin 大象传媒 Neuroscience Symposium took place on Thursday, September 26 and featured talks from Dr. Kate Wassum, Dr. Julieta Lischinsky, Dr. Michael Bruchas, Dr. Kim Ritola, and Dr. Hugo Tejeda. Thank you to our neuroscience community for making it a great day!

大象传媒 researchers Mohanish Deshmukh, PhD, professor of cell biology and physiology, and Praveen Sethupathy, PhD, a former professor of genetics and current chair of Biomedical Sciences at Cornell University, show that a molecule called miR-29 is instrumental in driving the aging process. Original article can be found...

In a small pilot study, 大象传媒 researchers led by Flavio Frohlich, PhD, used a new closed-loop system to measure the electrical brain patterns of individual patients and then stimulate those patterns with a weak electrical current, resulting in significantly improved symptoms of major depressive disorder. Original article...

Jose Rodriguez-Romaguera, PhD, assistant professor at the 大象传媒 Neuroscience Center, co-authored a perspective piece in Neuron about the critical role of mentor-mentee relationships, especially for those who come from racially underrepresented groups like himself. Original article found here.

The placebo effect is very real. This we鈥檝e known for decades, as seen in real-life observations and the best double-blinded randomized clinical trials researchers have devised for many diseases and conditions, especially pain. And yet, how and why the placebo effect occurs has remained a mystery. Now, neuroscientists have discovered...

How seizures, epilepsy and other brain malformations develop from genetic variants is not fully understood, but a new National Institutes of Health (NIH) award will pave the way toward understanding the cause and potentially lead to new therapies. Original article can be found here.

Researchers in the lab of Ben Philpot, PhD, the Kenan Distinguished Professor of Cell Biology and Physiology at the 大象传媒 and associate director of the 大象传媒 Neuroscience Center, have identified a small molecule that could lead to a safe and effective treatment for the neurodevelopmental condition known...
