Title: Congruent gene expression in Alexander disease model mice and human Alzheimer’s disease Legend: (A) A Rank-Rank Hypergeometric Overlap (RRHO) heatmap comparing a composite gene expression portrait of human Alzheimer’s disease (AD, X axis) with transcriptomic changes in hippocampus from Alexander disease model mice (GFAP mutation, Y axis) indicates high matching of up- and downregulated …
Processing neural activity to reconstruct network connectivity is a central focus of neuroscience, yet the spatiotemporal requisites of biological nervous systems are challenging for current neuronal sensing modalities.

Evidence-based assessment pathways inform early detection of cerebral palsy and access to intervention.
Researchers at the Waisman Center are included in a recently launched a new long-term study to observe and track health data of people with Down syndrome from birth to adulthood
Sigan Hartley, 100 Women Distinguished Chair in Human Ecology and Human Development & Family Studies professor, and a team of researchers have received a $9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Autistic children experience high rates of feeding challenges, negatively affecting their health, eating patterns, and social eating experiences.
The Quantitative Brain Imaging Technology Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin – Madison is recruiting infants and young children between 1 and 24 months of age for a research study aimed to develop new brain imaging methods to assess brain development. Participation in this study may consist of either one or two visits to the Waisman Center. …
Memory impairment as a result of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) has long been associated solely with the hippocampus, the brain’s learning and memory center. However, new research published in the journal Brain Imaging and Behavior, reveals that the hippocampus is not acting alone.
Probing how human neural networks operate is hindered by the lack of reliable human neural tissues amenable to the dynamic functional assessment of neural circuits.
