Dr. Emily Gilmore's lab at Yale University focuses on understanding how certain brain patterns, referred to as electrographic seizures (ESz) and high-frequency periodic discharges (HF-PD), affect recovery in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). The lab aims to establish whether these patterns indicate a worsening brain condition and how they could be treated to improve patient outcomes. Their research is crucial as it may lead to better treatment strategies for sTBI, enhancing the likelihood of recovery for affected individuals.

Dr. Michael Higley's research lab at Yale University explores how our brains process visual information and how this influences behavior, such as navigation and memory. By studying the connections between different brain regions, particularly the medial entorhinal cortex and neocortex, the lab aims to uncover the cellular and circuit mechanisms involved in visual representation and GABAergic inhibition. Their work is crucial for understanding fundamental brain functions and may have implications for treating neuropsychiatric disorders.

Dr. Jessica A. Cardin's lab at Yale University studies how the adult brain can adapt and change in response to different visual experiences. By investigating the role of specific types of brain cells, known as somatostatin interneurons, the lab aims to uncover the mechanisms that allow the adult visual system to reorganize itself. This research could lead to new treatments for visual deficits caused by early life challenges.

Dr. Hitten P Zaveri's lab at Yale University focuses on epilepsy research, particularly on improving the quality of life for individuals living with this condition. The lab is investigating how changes in saliva can help predict when seizures might occur, much like weather forecasts predict rain. By identifying biochemical markers related to seizure likelihood, the lab aims to empower patients with the knowledge to better manage their condition and drive new treatments.
