Hello dear members
I'm Raz, a brain researcher from Tel-Aviv university. My academic background is mostly psychological, however, once on the clinical setting- I have discovered that therapy isn't really my cup of tea. Instead, I choose to continue my academic studies for PhD in a topic that fascinate me the most: brain research.
Couple of months ago I got accepted into a lab that deals with neurosciences in a fascinating and innovative approach : in-vivo cortical observation with two-photons microscopy. In more simple words: we can observe the micro-environment of the brain in a 3D-live fashion, till a depth of 600 micron, while the animal is alive and moving (thanks to a cortical window we install ). So far, I researched with my colleague the vascular impairments that hypertension induce in the brain.
For my next project, I thought to consult with you guys in this forum for potential leads- as I got a hint that you guys are pretty serious about neuronal enchantment..
From what you've read, heard, or speculated- which novel molecular mechanisms of neuro-enchantment is the most promising (in your opinion)?
Of course, I have a wealth of academic data on the topic- however I'm looking for the fresh, hands-on experimental knowledge you guys have co-collected!
