Three investigators have been awarded Grass Faculty Awards at the MBL this summer. The goal of this Program is to take advantage of the collaborative environment of the MBL and bring together neuroscientists at the Assistant or Associate Professor level from different institutions to work together to conduct specific research in neuroscience.
Maurice Chacron of McGill University and Eric Fortune of Johns Hopkins University will collaborate on a project titled “Neural Mechanisms Underlying the Sparsification of a Neural Code.”
Ilya Fleidervish of Hebrew University and William Ross of NY Medical College will collaborate on a project titled “Sodium Fluxes and Excitability of Thin Neuronal Processes.”
Sonia Gaparini of LSU Health Center and Jeff Magee of Janelia Farm Res Campus/HHMI will collaborate on a project titled “Dendritic Mechanisms of Persistent Activity in Layer V Neurons of the Entorhinal Cortex.”
