Description
How does the brain develop, change, and decline over a lifetime? What can we do to fight conditions like Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy? Dr. Jaideep Kapur and Dr. Sarah Kucenas, Director and Co-Director of UVA's Brain Institute, are committed to answering these questions.
They discuss Dr. Kapur's work with epilepsy patients, Dr. Kucenas' use of zebrafish brain models, and UVA's $75-million investment into a Grand Challenge called Brain and Neuroscience--an interdisciplinary effort pulling together biologists, medical professionals, engineers, and data scientists to pioneer advances in neuroscience and map the workings of the brain.
