This study suggests that this class of neurons may compensate for age-related loss of vestibular function to maintain balance performance in older animals.
Analysis of Six Gene Delivery Methods in the Mouse Model
By understanding which AAV serotype works best for delivering genetic instructions to specific brain cells and sharing this information in an open-access journal, researchers can design better experiments and potentially develop treatments for brain-related conditions.
How Neurons in the Brain Coordinate Movement and Prevent Falls
Activity by special neurons called unipolar brush cells reveals that they may introduce delays or increase the length of firing responses, and presumably extend vestibular sensory representations.
Emerging Research Grants Applications Open Today
Applications for the 2022–2023 Emerging Research Grants (ERG) cycle opens today, Monday, October 18, 2021.
Meet the HRP Working Groups
The Hearing Restoration Project consortium model has, since its start, centered on team science, collaboration, and the faster exchange of data. To further energize this approach and facilitate even closer interaction, including among HRP researchers’ postdoctoral researchers and other lab members, the HRP decided at its annual meeting to reorganize its research into three working groups.
2022 Emerging Research Grants Announced
We have reported since spring 2020 on the astounding resilience of HHF-funded scientists as they continued their work remotely and in hybrid setups. Just as they continued to conduct scientific work during the past year and a half of lab closures and COVID-19 restrictions, so too were Emerging Research Grants applicants busy collecting preliminary data and drafting research proposals.
