Valeria Cavalli receives an R35 award from the NIH
Dr. Cavalli’s team will combine single-cell approaches and epigenomic approaches in mouse and human sensory neurons to understand the neuronal and non-neuronal mechanisms orchestrating nerve repair.
Central vestibular tuning arises from patterned convergence of otolith afferents
The Bagnall lab finds the complexity of tuning in a vestibular neuron arises from the diversity of inputs it receives, and that this complexity can be predicted from these inputs.
