Deanna M. Barch, Ph.D.
Chair, Professor, Psychology & Brain Sciences
Much work toward understanding the etiology of neurological and psychiatric disorders has been aided by advances in neuroimaging technologies that were novel at the time they were introduced, including the use of magnetic resonance imaging to assess both structural and functional imaging of the human brain. The focus of this talk will be how we currently measure functional human brain connectivity and the ways in which...

Brain endothelial cells form a paracellular and transcellular barrier to blood-borne solutes via tight junctions and scarce endocytotic vesicles. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a pivotal role in the healthy and diseased central nervous system (CNS). BBB damage contributes to increased CNS influx of serum proteins and immune cells, leading to...

Edmund Hollis, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Neuroscience
Brain & Mind Research Institute, Weill Cornell Medicine
Director, Circuit Repair Laboratory, Burke Neurological Institute
Edmund Hollis uses genetic models and optogenetic tools to investigate the neuron-intrinsic limitations of regeneration and the system-level integration of circuit changes after spinal cord injury, in order to develop novel therapeutic interventions that take advantage of cortical plasticity to promote recovery.
