McGovern Institute Spring Symposium 2014 | Michael Lin, Stanford University | “GFP as an optogenetic Swiss Army knife: New applications in voltage sensing, memory visualization, and optical control of protein activity”
This video shows white matter tracts, the long-range connections of the human brain. The tracts are revealed here through a MRI-based method known as ‘diffusion tensor imaging’ or DTI.
MRI sensor allows neuroscientists to map neural activity with molecular precision.
Waterman Award is NSF’s highest honor recognizing an outstanding researcher under the age of 35.
Neuroscientists identify a brain circuit that’s key to shifting our focus from one object to another.
How accurate are our memories after a traumatic event? Does chronic stress make us more vulnerable to trauma? Will scientists one day succeed in preventing PTSD? Panelists discuss these and related questions at an April 7, 2014 event at the McGovern Institute.
