The National Neurotrauma Society (NNS) has selected Michelle LaPlaca, associate professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory…
Emory and Georgia Tech researchers recently received a $200,000 Technological Innovations in Neuroscience Award from the McKnight Foundation
Scientists have made remarkable advances into recording the electrical activity that the nervous system uses to control complex skills, leading to insights into how the nervous system directs an…
Support will help reveal how neural systems organize for sophisticated behaviors like flight.
“Movement is a defining feature of animals,” says Simon Sponberg. He is an assistant professor in the School of Physics and of Biological Sciences. How animals navigate their environments is the…
New research for DARPA combines neuroscience and computer science to work on machine learning problems.
Siri knows where you live, but she couldn’t drive you there. Despite their name, artificial neural networks are very different from the brain. Yet machine learning performance could be improved if…
Big data helps doctors treat, cure and improve patient outcomes
For Cassie Mitchell, predictive healthcare means using data analytics and computational approaches to best predict what care or treatment is going to work for a patient. Predictive healthcare is…

Georgia Tech researcher working on a better way to deliver therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease
YongTae Kim, a researcher in the Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience at the Georgia Institute of Technology, has been awarded an R21 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH…
It may be high time to refocus Alzheimer's research, as a new study strongly points to a biochemical culprit traditionally less pursued.
The mass pursuit of a conspicuous suspect in Alzheimer’s disease may have held back research success for decades. Now, a…
BME professor, Petit Institute researcher tapped again for national initiative
The human brain, with its 100 billion chattering neurons, remains one of the great mysteries in medical science. Because that three-pound mass of tissue inside our skulls is so misunderstood,…
