Zach (shown presenting at the meeting of the local chapter of the Society for Neuroscience) will be presenting part of his dissertation research in a poster titled, “Age and sex differences in behavior and functional connectomic measures in the human ApoE4-TR mouse model”. He is supported by a travel…
A new study by Simon et al delves into the brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease, focusing on the APPswe/PSEN1dE9 double transgenic mouse model. Researchers explored how amyloidosis, a condition marked by amyloid plaques in the brain, affects functional network ‘hub’ topology differently in male and female mice. These hubs…
A study led by former UF undergraduate student in the Nino Group, Parker Kotlarz, explores how the brain’s network structure and its ability to resist damage are crucial for understanding brain function and diseases. Parker applied principles of percolation theory, a mathematical approach, to simulate brain damage by removing key…
A new publication by led by Dr. Johnny Figueroa at Loma Linda University, and in collaboration with the Febo lab, identify tumor necrosis factor alpha-converting enzyme/a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (TACE/ADAM17) as playing a vital role in the neural response to stress in the prefrontal cortex in rats during adolescence.
Former Febo laboratory undergraduate researchers, Shray Mehra and Rohan Kommireddy have received letters of acceptance to medical schools! Both worked on our TOP-NT NINDS funded research and have a co-first preprint article also currently in revision at a journal. Well deserved for their hard work!…
In new research just published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, Febo laboratory researchers report differences in functional connectivity and metabolomic markers in prefrontal and hippocampal brain regions that may in part underlie age differences in emotional behaviors. The research was support by NIH grant R21AG065819 Citation can be access here:…
