Unlocking the Secrets of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Ask an oncologist what cancer is, and they could talk to you for hours, telling you about cell cycles, oncogenes, and all sorts of things,” says Stephen Lisberger, PhD, chair and George Barth Geller Distinguished Professor for Research in Neurobiology. “Ask a neurologist what Alzheimer’s is, and it's going to be a short conversation.”
Welcome Neurobiology's New Grad Students
The latest cohort of graduate students just completed Neurobiology Boot Camp and have already begun their classes and first lab rotations.
Stephen Lisberger Named to National Academy of Sciences
Stephen Lisberger, PhD, the George Barth Geller Distinguished Professor for Research and chair of Neurobiology in the School of Medicine, is one of three Duke faculty newly elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
Huang elected to American Academy of Arts and Sciences
Josh Huang, Ph.D., professor of neurobiology and co-leader of an effort to map the brain in new detail, has been elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, along with three other Duke faculty members.
Duke flags lowered for Marc Caron
It is with profound sadness that we inform you of the passing of Marc Caron, PhD, James B. Duke Professor of Cell Biology, Professor of Neurobiology and Professor of Medicine.
Team Dzirasa Finds Brain Network That Makes Mice Mingle
The difference between a social butterfly and a lone wolf is actually at least eight differences, according to new findings by a team of Duke brain researchers.
By simultaneously spying on the electrical activity of several brain regions, the researchers found they could identify how social or solitary an individual mouse is.
Glickfeld pushing the limits of brain plasticity
Wisdom may come with age, but young people have the advantage when it comes to learning. Duke neurobiologist Lindsey Glickfeld, PhD, wants to know why.
More to the point, she wants to know how. What are the mechanics in the brain and how do those mechanics change from childhood to adulthood?
Advancing Neuroscience: Probing New Questions, Tools, and Promise in Brain Science
Duke neuroscientists discuss the challenges and technological achievements that help us better understand our complex brain.
