Distinct, coordinated activity in large sets of neurons can predict a rat’s future behavior, UO expert Luca Mazzucato showed in a new study.
University Research | University of OregonA new kind of tiny particle, called a nanocrystal, is a big deal in University of Oregon chemist Carl Brozek’s lab.
University Research | University of OregonScientists have known for decades that a certain class of enzymes are an important player in cell biology because they frequently mutate and become major drivers of cancer. Biopharma companies are trying to develop drugs that target and inactivate these enzymes, known as phosphoinositide 3-kinase,…
University Research | University of OregonNew research in mice sheds light on the seemingly random brain signals that hum in the background of brains. These signals might help the brain switch between states of inattention or disengagement and states of optimal performance, UO researchers reported.
University Research | Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | University of OregonUO researchers have grown rodent retinal neurons on a fractal-patterned electrode, one that mimics the repeating branching pattern in which neurons naturally grow. It’s a step closer to making a bio-inspired bionic eye, a longstanding goal for UO physicist Richard Taylor.
University Research | University of OregonIn humans, mutations in the EGR1 gene or 'social' gene have been linked to mental health conditions like schizophrenia and depression . A mutation in that gene snuffs out this social behavior in zebrafish, researchers at UO find.
University Research | University of OregonVulnerable teens who lose a pregnancy are at increased suicide risk, new research from UO’s Prevention Science Institute shows.
University Research | University of OregonSome marine worm larvae are pint-sized predators. The small, blobby babies, less than a millimeter long, ensnare and devour microscopic crustaceans and other prey living in plankton, UO researchers report.
University Research | University of OregonThere is a scientific reason that humans feel better walking through the woods than strolling down city streets, according to a new publication from UO physicist Richard Taylor and an interdisciplinary team of collaborators.
University Research | University of OregonIn a new study, researchers in the lab of UO biologist Matt Barber look at a family of proteins found on the surface of epithelial cells. Epithelial cells line many surfaces in the body that are important for microbial interactions, like the inside of the mouth and nose as well as the digestive and…
