Dr. Finkbeiner's team will use their revolutionary robotic microscope to uncover the detailed cellular mechanisms of the brain and advance our knowledge
of debilitating neurological diseases.
For instance, autonomous vehicles could eventually prevent tens of thousands of road deaths; optogenetics — using genetic engineering and light to manipulate brain cell activity — could help cure or
manage debilitating neurological diseases; and materials like graphene could ensure more people than ever have access to cheap clean water.
Many of these devices resemble sleeker, more efficient models of instrumentation used by research labs to record brain activity during sleep, physiological changes during stress, migraine triggers, activity levels and even early symptoms
of debilitating neurological diseases.
Researchers have linked
a debilitating neurological disease in children to mutations in a gene that regulates neuronal development through control of protein movement within neuronal cells.
Dozens of genetic variations act in concert with environmental factors to cause
the debilitating neurological disease.
New research shows how the «sleep hormone» may benefit patients with the debilitating neurological disease
MS is
a debilitating neurological disease caused by the destruction of oligodendrocytes, cells that build the myelin sheaths that surround the signal transmitting axons of neurons.
Dr. Finkbeiner will use his revolutionary robotic microscope to uncover the detailed cellular mechanisms of the brain and advance our knowledge of
debilitating neurological diseases.
LA JOLLA, CA — Multiple sclerosis,
a debilitating neurological disease, is triggered by self - reactive T cells that successfully infiltrate the brain and spinal cord where they launch an aggressive autoimmune attack against myelin, the fatty substance that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers.
