Labs

PI: David Van Essen, PhD

The Van Essen Lab develops and uses computerized brain mapping techniques to study the structure, function, and development of cerebral cortex in humans and nonhuman primates. The lab is heavily engaged in the Human Connectome Project, a 5-year project to map human brain circuitry in healthy adults.

PI: Jason Yi, PhD

The Yi Lab studies the molecular pathways that govern how a new brain is constructed and wired for a lifetime of function. The long-term goal of our research is to uncover new treatments for developmental disorders such as autism, Angelman syndrome, and intellectual disability.
