As a mechanic dreams about fixing broken things, at the Fitzsimons Lab we dream about repairing the damaged brain.

Important perspective on a fascinating study from the Frisén group, which used machine learning to identify neural progenitors in the adult human brain, a fresh lens on a long-standing debate 💥
Always exciting to see this field evolve, and grateful to be part of it @labsalta.bsky.social

Machine learning spots neural progenitors in adult human brains
But the finding has not settled the long-standing debate over the existence and extent of neurogenesis during adulthood, says Yale University neuroscientist Juan Arellano.

What is an adult hippocampal neural stem cell?
In our new collaboration with Evgenia Salta's lab, we propose an operational definition based on conserved gene signatures across seven previous studies, and we use it to understand how NSCs change as they age

CTE is a devastating disease that recieves very little attention from the health community. For these patients, everything starts with a traumatic brain injury
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or CTE, was discovered in football players just two decades ago. Because it can be confirmed postmortem only, many families assume their situations are hopeless.
Jaeden Brown is holding on to hope for her father.
