Congratulations on the great thesis defense, Yi! We are all very excited about this tremendous achievement! Yi’s thesis is entitled “The Timescales of Transformation Across Brain Structures in the Thalamocortical Circuit.” Her work is focused on how sensory information is transformed across multiple brain regions, from peripheral sensors, to subcortical … More Yi Liew Successfully Defends her PhD Thesis!

Stanley Lab Awarded New $275K Grant To Study Bilateral Touch Integration

The Stanley Lab secured a 2 year R21 Grant from the NIH/NINDS entitled “Interhemispheric interactions underlying bilateral somatosensation”.  In this work, we will elucidate the neocortical laminar and cellular basis of interhemispheric computations underlying bilateral tactile interactions, and reveal their role in bilateral stimulus encoding and perception. We will investigate … More Stanley Lab Awarded New $275K Grant To Study Bilateral Touch Integration
