…have been used in neuroscience for decades and there’s an increasing use of them in immunology, but no one has really brought together the neuroscience tools in zebrafish and the immunology tools in zebrafish. I’m basically combining those two toolsets in the context of infection. So the combination of genetics…

UC San Diego researchers have generated a new map of brain connectivity from a part of the brain called the basal ganglia, a hub for regulating motor and behavior functions. The breadth of connections revealed could potentially open avenues for intervention of Parkinson’s disease and other disorders
