“This finding underscores the urgent need for brain-specific biomarkers that allow earlier intervention to protect the developing brain from the hidden consequences of gestational iron deficiency, as recovery of blood iron levels alone may not reflect recovery of the developing brain.”

How does the brain make sense of what we see?

On the podcast Neuroscience Perspectives, Dr. Duje Tadin explores visual perception and motion processing, revealing how the brain interprets visual info and shapes our perception of reality @JohnnyFoxe @UofR @UoR_BrainCogSci

Congratulations, Dr. Carney!

Congratulations to Dr. Maiken Nedergaard! She was elected to the National Academy of Medicine for her discovery of the glymphatic system, which has reshaped scientists’ understanding of how the brain clears waste and the critical role of sleep💤

How does she approach her own earch shapes her daily routines, what she’s learned about sleep, and why protecting sleep is essential for brain health 👉 urmed.info/4yx9EgV

Not all cells move the same. How the brain's immune cells, microglia, move is unique

Learn how these cells navigate our brain 👇

Nobel Prize-winning scientists developed optogenetics—a tool that changed neuroscience.

Our researchers are using that tool to discover what comes next and turning research into global impact📍📈

The science behind sleep and how and why to get enough of it👇

“non-REM would fill the toilet up and REM sleep would flush it,” said @LaurenHablitz, PhD, who works with Dr. Maiken Nedergaard. Nedergaard discovered the glymphatic system in 2012. This system it clears our brain of waste as we sleep

I absolutely loved sitting down with my wonderful colleague Ania Majewska for "Neuroscience Perspectives". We talked about her remarkable science, but also the extraordinary life journey behind it—from Poland, to Kuwait and the UK, and ultimately to the United States. A fascinating scientist, an inspiring colleague, and a truly great story. @URNeuroscience

First @UofR & @RCSD summer program alumni enter URochester as students. Two alumni of this program, who are now freshmen at URochester, shared more about their journey: urmed.info/3VTlP9Y #URochesterResearch

Images of dynamic brain cells first captured the imagination of a biology student

Today, Dr. Ania Majewska studies microglia (brain's immune cells) & investigates how they interact w/ synapses during development, learning & disease

It's a beautiful fall day to bring together scientists from around the 🌎 We're proud to host the EEG & Clinical Neuroscience Society (ECNS) annual meeting this week

Could understanding how inflammation impacts the brain’s immune system provide a new treatment for neurodegenerative disease?

URochester researchers Felix Yarovinsky, MD, M. Kerry O’Banion, MD, PhD, and Ania Majewska, PhD, aim to understand how NEW microglia, that emerge during This research was selected for the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience pilot grant program and will be supported by the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience Research Pilot and Feasibility Program urmc.rochester.edu/del-monte-neur…

We are hosting this year's EEG and Clinical Neuroscience Society Conference at the Memorial Art Gallery. This international meeting will share advances in EEG, neurophysiology, and the understanding and treatment of rs

We hope to see you in Rochester!

Have you ever thought about all the neural activity that must coordinate for you to pick up your cup of coffee ☕?

Assistant Professor @GabriellaSterne and Associate Professor Jaime Cardenas have. Their project is one of the 2026 Schmitt Program in Integrative Neuroscience pients. Their research project will study how the structure of premotor circuits contributes to reaching motor control using behavior studies, circuit modeling, and neural imaging.

Since 2015, the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience has supported 85 novel research projects through its pilot program: urmc.rochester.edu/del-monte-neur…

A new stem cell-derived retina model is helping scientists study the earliest stages of CLN3-Batten disease in ways that weren't previously possible. The work also provides a powerful platform for testing future therapies via @ScienceTM ⤵️ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A new human retina model gives researchers an unprecedented view of how the disease damages the eye #URochesterResearch urmc.rochester.edu/news/story/new…

🎉 Congratulations to Choongheon Lee, PhD, assistant research professor & Christopher Holt, PhD, associate professor of @urmed_oto & Neuroscience!

Their novel research to develop a direct, non-invasive assessment of peripheral semicircular canal function in mice was selected as one of tntegrative Neuroscience (SPIN) program projects
