Mapping the Hypothalamus and Brainstem

Systematically map how specific brain regions like the hypothalamus and brainstem (arguably the “steering subsystem” of the brain) drive innate behaviors and learning signals, and understand their role in obesity, chronic pain, fertility, inflammation, and other disorders.

Current “Model Systems” for Brain Function are Not Representative of the Real Human Brain

Neuroscience
Current in vivo and in vitro models often fail to capture human brain function. Innovative model systems—including digital reconstructions, embodied simulations, and new biological models—are needed.
