New Perspective Article – Rapid Sensory Adaptation Redux: A Circuit Perspective

In this Perspective, Whitmire and Stanley build links between rapid sensory adaptation at multiple scales of neural circuitry through investigations of differential adaptation effects across brain structures, cell types, and functional classes of neurons. Abstract: Adaptation is fundamental to life. All organisms adapt over timescales that span from evolution to … More New Perspective Article – Rapid Sensory Adaptation Redux: A Circuit Perspective

High School Student Richard Carnegie Does Summer Internship

Richard Carnegie, now a junior in high school, reached out to our laboratory last spring when he became interested in neuro-engineering. While working with us in the summer of 2016, he learned to design parts and build them with a 3-D printer, design and conduct his own experiments using equipment from Backyard Brains, and … More High School Student Richard Carnegie Does Summer Internship
