Nutrition and Brain Growth in the Developing World
The aging pickup truck bounces along a dirt road somewhere outside Bissora, one of the larger towns in the Oio region of the West African nation of Guinea-Bissau. The road, a major thoroughfare in the region, is pocked with holes. The rest of the year these would be deep and dusty. But it’s July ...
Artificial Intelligence Improves Treatment Monitoring in Patients with Glioma
This year, some 78,000 primary brain and other central nervous system (CNS) cancers will be diagnosed in the US alone. Researchers are actively developing new therapies for glioma, the most common type of primary brain tumor, but challenges remain in assessing whether patients are responding to t...
Center for Mesoscale Mapping
Brain science tools have advanced in several distinct directions. Advanced tools in molecular biology now allow neuroscientists to study distinct patterns of gene expression in individual neural cells, leading to the potential for a comprehensive atlas of cell types. In parallel, tools that allow...
