Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the research laboratories at the University of Chicago and the scholars who are tackling some ...

Current research centers on three main projects: Project 1: To understand modularity in the spinal circuits that organize purposeful reflex and rhythmic movements, even when separated from the brain.

A Levittown student took first place and earned a paid trip to the championship at the University of California, Irvine, in ...

Editor’s note: The Lab Report is a weekly series in The Badger Herald’s print edition where we take a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. The ...

Dr. Wen-Jun Gao received his PhD from Shanghai Brain Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 1997. He did his first postdoctoral training with Dr. Sarah L. Pallas at Georgia State University ...

Students in Anatomy and Physiology learn the structure and function of the body’s organ systems (digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, etc.). Students dissect animal specimens and analyze ...

Medical researchers have discovered how to create more accurate, consistent brain organoids to develop treatments for neurological disorders. By using stem cells to grow miniature brain-like organs in ...

Just like our fingerprints, our brains are unique, according to researchers. A combination of genetic factors and our experiences shape the anatomy of our brains, a team of neuropsychologists at the ...

So perhaps it’s just my neuroscience bias, but I happen to think that an interactive, 3-D brain app is pretty darn cool! This app by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is just that—an interactive, ...

In a series of experiments, researchers found that a communication pathway between the brain and the gut may be integral to how well the brain holds on to memories. The genesis for the study came from ...
