Developmental disruptions of the cerebellum are a significant cause of human neurodevelopmental disorders, including Autism and Medulloblastoma. Mouse studies have been valuable to understand their pathogenesis. However, our recent large-scale genetic analysis of human cerebellar structural birth defects...

Mel B. Feany, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Pathology, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital
The longstanding goal of the research in the Feany laboratory has been to understand the molecular and biochemical pathways leading to neuronal dysfunction and death in neurodegenerative disorders, with a focus on -synucleinopathies, tauopathies and related age-dependent diseases. We have thus created models relevant to Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and related neurological...

Walter J. Koroshetz, M.D.,
Director, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
The US Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies is an ambitious science project to develop the tools that will enable monitoring and modulation of brain circuits. Launched in 2013 the Initiative has led to advances in technologies that are revolutionizing our understanding of how the brain processes information. Still it is expected that the greatest achievements are yet to...

Recent studies suggest that tau protein can adopt multiple conformations, which may have different consequences for neurodegeneration. This idea leads to the possibility that there are “prion-like” properties of tau, and that different clinical phenotypes may be a result, in part, of tau’s properties.
