Is it possible to fix the problems a missing bit of chromosome might cause in the brain? The work of our own @GogosLabZMBBI, featured in @Forbes, explores how DNA fragments might one day help reverse such memory and learning problems:

This colorful brain image comes from a mouse with missing DNA. Its cells should be deformed and malfunctional. But @GogosLabZMBBI scientists used DNA fragments (yellow and green) to reverse the damage. Could this help people with genetic disease? Read

Why create an AI model of a fish? New research from our own Nate Sawtell & Larry Abbott, along w/ @DenisTurcu @AllenInstitute, shows how real fish can use electricity to scan the world, findings that could help us understand our own senses, such as vision. @Columbia
