Cracking the Neural Code

The brain remains one of the most complex and mysterious parts of the human body, controlling everything from how we move to where we store and process memory. Scripps Research neuroscientists are helping us understand the mechanisms of why we age, what drives neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, how the brain communicates with the rest of the body, and more. By evaluating the brain at multiple levels, these researchers are shedding light on the mysteries that have perplexed the field for decades.
