This #TraineeTuesday, we are introducing Aaron Wolfe, a postdoctoral associate in the Colón-Ramos Lab! Aaron recently received funding for his K99 application to the National Institute on Aging. Moreover, some of his research on the dynamics of neuronal metabolism was published in PNAS!
A new study offers insights into how living organisms distribute the energy needed to support all functions of the body — which likely also influences behavior.
Andrea Cuentas-Condori, PhD, a neuroscience postdoctoral fellow at Yale School of Medicine, has been selected as a Hanna H. Gray Fellow by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI).
Daniel Colón-Ramos, the Dorys McConnell Duberg Professor of Neuroscience and Cell Biology at Yale, has been awarded the Humboldt Prize for his lab’s work in describing fundamental aspects of the cell biology of synapses and behavior, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation announced April 13.
Meet Sisi Yang, a PhD candidate in the Colón-Ramos Lab! Her exciting new paper published in Neuron uncovers a missing link between autophagy and synaptic activity.
Neurons in the developing central nervous system and brain congregate in layers or neighborhoods, fitting into an alignment that will dictate their function. But how do they find their proper place?
The brain has its own housekeeping service, a sophisticated mechanism that cleans up debris that is left over from cellular activity. But scientists have had a hard time figuring out exactly how the brain knows when to initiate this cellular “trash pickup.”
Puerto Ricans in the U.S. territory avoided overwhelming their already fragile health care system during the pandemic, mainly because of extraordinary measures the local government put in place early on — and people’s willingness to comply with them.
