Rigor in Experimental design and Analysis of Data (READ)
We talk a lot about the role that physician-scientists play as “interpreters” and “translators” between the worlds of medicine and research. But that often means stepping outside of one’s narrow area of scientific expertise to help colleagues and trainees understand clinically relevant data that informs patient care, even if it’s far from what you look at in your own research.

Research in the news: Researchers track how brain routes visual signals
Understanding how the brain manages to process the deluge of information about the outside world has been a daunting challenge. In a recent study in the journal Cell Reports, Yale’s Michael Higley and Jessica Cardin from the Department of Neuroscience provide some clues to how cells in the visual cortex direct sensory information to different targets throughout the brain.

Dozen young Yale scientists honored for promising mental health research
Twelve Yale investigators were among 202 researchers to receive Young Investigator Grants from the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (formerly NARSAD). The $11.9 million program helps support researchers with promising ideas about how to understand and treat mental illness. Receiving up to $60,000 over two years, the investigators pursue brain and behavior research related to depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and anxiety disorders like obsessive-compulsive and post-traumatic stress disorders.

Research in the News: Shedding light on mental illness, one brain synapse at a time
Yale researchers used light to probe the actions of the neurotransmitter GABA on single synapses along the branches of a neuron. The work, appearing in the May 10 issue of the journal Science, provides new insight into the interactions of excitatory and inhibitory activity in brain cells — processes that appear to be disrupted in disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.
