Four investigators have been awarded Grass Faculty Awards at the MBL this summer. The goal of this Program is to take advantage of the collaborative environment of the MBL and bring together neuroscientists at the Assistant or Associate Professor level from different institutions to work together to conduct specific research in neuroscience.
Maurice Chacron of McGill University and Eric Fortune of Johns Hopkins University will collaborate on a project titled “Mechanisms for Non-linear Sparsification of Neural Codes”
Ilya Fleidervish of Hebrew University and William Ross of New York Medical College will collaborate on a project titled “Sodium Fluxes and Excitability of Thin Neuronal Processes.”
William Frost of Rosalind Franklin University and Gordon Shepherd of Northwestern University & Janelia Farm Research Campus/HHMI will collaborate on a project titled “Input-output Analysis of Motor Circuits by Combined Laser Stimulation”
Richard Kramer of the University of California, Berkeley and Paul Malchow of the University of Illinois at Chicago will collaborate on a project titled “Optical Studies of Synaptic Feedback from Horizontal Cells of the Retina”
