Neural Implant Monitors Multiple Brain Areas at Once, Provides New Neuroscience Insights
April 27, 2021
How do different parts of the brain communicate with each other during learning and memory formation? A study by researchers at UC San Diego takes a first step at answering this fundamental neuroscience question, thanks to a neural implant that monitors multiple brain regions at the same time.
A New Wrinkle: Geometry of Brain’s Outer Surface Correlates With Genetic Heritage
July 9, 2015
…three-dimensional shape of the cerebral cortex – the wrinkled outer layer of the brain controlling many functions of thinking and sensation – strongly correlates with ancestral background. The study opens the door to more precise studies of brain anatomy going forward and could eventually lead to more personalized medicine approaches…
Three Generations of UC San Diego Physicists Plumb the Microvasculature of the Mammalian Brain
June 11, 2013
Blood vessels within a sensory area of the mammalian brain loop and connect in unexpected ways, a new map created by a team that includes three generations of UC San Diego physicists has revealed.
Novel Study Maps Infant Brain Growth In First Three Months of Life Using MRI Technology
August 11, 2014
A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the University of Hawaii demonstrates a new approach to measuring early brain development of infants, resulting in more accurate whole brain growth charts and providing the first estimates for growth trajectories of subcortical…
How Genes Organize the Surface of the Brain
March 29, 2012
The first atlas of the surface of the human brain based upon genetic information has been produced by a national team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the VA San Diego Healthcare System. The work is published in the March…
Scientists Discover “Dimmer Switch” For Mood Disorders
September 18, 2014
Researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a control mechanism for an area of the brain that processes sensory and emotive information that humans experience as “disappointment.”
Negative Fateful Life Events and the Brains of Middle-Aged Men
April 5, 2018
Conflict, a death in the family, financial hardship and serious medical crises are all associated with accelerated physical aging. In a new study, researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine found that such negative fateful life events — or FLEs — appear to also specifically accelerate…
Borrowing from Astronomy to Rob the Twinkle from Brain Imagery
June 17, 2019
UC San Diego scientists adopt astronomy’s adaptive optics to correct microscope images for the scattering of light that occurs in brain tissue.
Novel Stem Cell-Derived Model Created of Inflammatory Neurological Disorder
August 10, 2017
An international team of scientists, led by University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers, has created a human stem cell-based model of a rare, but devastating, inherited neurological autoimmune condition called Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome (AGS). In doing so, the team was able to identify unusual and surprising underlying genetic…
