Researchers at UC Davis have developed a fast and cost-effective two-photon microscopy system capable of imaging depths previously impossible to reach in scattering tissues, such as bone and the brain.
Combining two different kinds of signals could help engineers build prosthetic limbs that better reproduce natural movements, according to a new study from the University of California, Davis. The work, published April 10 in PLOS One, shows that a combination of electromyography and force myography is more accurate at predicting hand movements than either method by itself.
Earlier this year, graduate students Eden Winslow and Aya Akhmetzhanova applied and were accepted to attend an annual virtual workshop, part of the NeuroTech Course. In this article, Eden and Aya share their thoughts about the experience.
(SACRAMENTO) UC Davis Health is pleased to announce that Neurosurgeon David Brandman and his team at UC Davis Neuroprosthetics Lab were awarded The Herbert Pardes Clinical Research Excellence Award. It is the most prestigious honor awarded by the Clinical Research (CR) Forum, a non-profit association of top clinical research experts and thought leaders from the nation’s leading academic health centers.
In early March, we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of NeuroFest, a free public event hosted by the Center for Neuroscience for community members of all ages which brings the exciting world of brain science to the community during the Brain Awareness Week.
Lee Miller vividly recalls the day in 2021 when he met a woman who had lost the function of her vocal cords. In hoarse, whispering tones she explained how her voice had been instrumental to her vocation. Losing it, she said, undercut her life’s purpose. Her words were faint, but the lesson was powerful.
We invite graduate and undergraduate students, postdocs, junior specialists, and other trainees whose work is relevant to neuroengineering to submit abstracts.
How the brain remembers has a lot to do with focus. It’s in this area of cognitive science that Steven Luck, professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, has built a career pushing the frontiers of both science and teaching.
Dr. Christina Kim is Assistant Professor, Core Faculty of the Center for Neuroscience, Department of Neurology Affiliate Faculty, and Affiliate Faculty at the Center for Neuroengineering and Medicine at UC Davis.
Hyoyoung Jeong, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, is one of 12 early-career faculty members who will receive a boost as this year's class of Hellman Fellows at the University of California, Davis.
New research suggests that it could be possible to separate treatment from hallucinations when developing new drugs based on psychedelics. The anti-anxiety and hallucination-inducing qualities of psychedelic drugs work through different neural circuits, according to research using a mouse model. The work is published Nov. 15 in Science.
CITRIS and the Banatao Institute published an article about Dr. Zhaodan Kong's work. Select paragraphs are included below.
From fire-detecting drone swarms to optimally efficient human-autonomy collaboration, the UC Davis mechanical and aerospace engineer uses complex technological systems to address complex challenges.
Ron Mangun, Distinguished Professor of psychology and neurology and co-director of the Center for Mind and Brain at UC Davis, has just been awarded the 2024 Award for Education in Neuroscience by the Society for Neuroscience. This prize recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to undergraduate- and graduate-level neuroscience education and training.
The University of California, Davis, is awarding over $480,000 to help scientists advance compelling research and innovations toward commercial applications through the Science Translation and Innovative Research (STAIR™) proof-of-concept grant program. The program plays an important role in helping campus innovators bridge the early-stage hurdle of access to funding during one of the most challenging phases in new technology development.
