Lauren Glassburn's project will characterize a novel hippocampal projection that would reveal how the hippocampus can influence another brain region, the supramammillary area, which has the potential to modulate identification and memory encoding of familiar and novel environments.
Dr. Pathak aims to identify the neurocircuits responsible for this vulnerability which will establish the cerebellum as a new locus for psychiatric disorders predisposed by adolescent social stress.
Anne Huntemer-Silveira's research project lays the foundation for the development of a unique stem cell model that can be used to study sensory circuitry in the spinal cord.
Abigail Heiller's research aims to develop a new non-invasive brain enhancement technology to improve hearing performance and combat hearing loss through paired music listening and comfortable electrical stimulation of the ear.
Arthur de la Cruz-Lynch’s research project aims to develop a specialized renal nerve cuff with Heraeus Medical Components, which can electrically block renal nerve activity, in a non-destructive, reversible, and titratable.
Dr. Farooqi's project aims to develop neural control systems with the precision and temporal specificity critical to characterizing the role of oscillatory dynamics in brain function.
Dr. Wischnewski will investigate the causal relationship between neural oscillations and motor cortex activation, greatly advancing knowledge of neuromodulation and the human motor system.
Cathy Chen's research will identify critical sex-modulated neural circuits and mechanisms of reward processing to target for neuromodulatory interventions, and potentially develop into a new class of treatment for those who are struggling with neuropsychiatric disorders.
Alexandra Scott’s proposal will examine the role of ventral pallidal neuronal projections to the lateral hypothalamus in cue-elicited reward seeking and food intake.
