Sharing a new paper from the lab. This paper, led by Sangyoon Ko, represents a merging of two longstanding research themes in the lab-- adult neurogenesis and systems consolidation.

Stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease has entered a new era. Two @Nature studies demonstrate that pluripotent stem cell–derived dopamine neurons can survive, restore function, and potentially change the treatment paradigm for this neurodegenerative disease.

#NeuroNews Our undergraduate students Stacia Konow and John Ponce assist Dr. @Sheffield_Lab in his lab and they talked about the work they have been doing as well as how their experience inside the lab has influenced their undergrad journey at UChicago.

A short clip about the Sheffield lab:
Assoc. Prof. Mark Sheffield and his lab at UChicago are studying how the brain forms, stores, and retrieves memories using advanced imaging and VR. Their research could lead to better treatments for Alzheimer's, PTSD, and more.

Are we too bamboozled to see the truth? Share if this hits hard!
