In the next video of our Neurovox series, we feature Kip Ludwig, PhD, Associate Director, Mayo Neural Engineering Laboratories. Kip runs a research lab in bioelectronic medicines which are small, wireless implantable devices to interface with the nervous system to manipulate organ function. These devices have proved instrumental in improving conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease.

Bloomberg visited Inscopix laboratories and made this fantastic video of our miniature microscope technology. Check out how our technology reads brain activity in real time at single-cell resolution for a thousand neurons at a time in mice!

We asked seven neuroscience experts for their advice to anyone desiring to make their mark, either at the research bench or outside of academia. Much of what they said applies to any professional endeavor. Below we included the direct quotes from our interviews. Communicate across fields. “Your impact is going to be predicated on your

When we visit a friend or go to the beach, our brain stores a short-term memory of the experience in a part of the brain called the hippocampus. Those memories are later “consolidated”—that is, transferred to another part of the brain for longer-term storage. A new MIT study of the neural circuits that underlie this

In another segment of our Neurovox series, Vania Cao, PhD, interviews Amar Sahay, PhD, an Assistant Professor at Massachusetts General Hospital, Center of Regenerative Medicine, Harvard Medical School. He is also a Principal Faculty at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, and an Associate member of the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. He tells us
