Twenty-four McKnight Brain Institute investigators presented dynamic and wide-ranging snapshots of the latest in neuroscience research Tuesday evening at an MBI seminar called “One Image, 100 Words.” In the fast-moving blitz, speakers projected a single compelling image or slide and gave an under-two-minute description to spotlight innovative projects underway. Some…
New research reveals that a type of support cell in the spinal cord plays an important role in influencing plasticity of motor neurons responsible for breathing, a key insight that could help refine ongoing studies into a potential therapy for compromised breathing and other movements. …
The BREATHE Center proudly co-sponsored the 2024 Alachua County Brain Bee alongside the BRAIN Center and the McKnight Brain Institute. The event took place at the McKnight Brain Institute on December 7, 2024. Gainesville area teens participated in the day’s activities and demonstrated their impressive neuroscience knowledge.
BREATHE member, Dr. Sabhya Rana, was recently appointed as one of the new fellows for the Editorial Board of the American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology.
