  The Manuel Lab focuses on unraveling the intricacies of the motor system and understanding how normal motor function is impacted in pathological conditions. Employing a range of cutting-edge techniques, including in vivo electrophysiology, in vitro electrophysiology, viral approaches, and advanced imaging methods, our research aims to shed light on the underlying mechanisms governing motor […]

Her inspiration, the biggest challenges in her work, and what makes her feel hopeful. Assistant Professor Jessica Alber investigates the potential to use retinal imaging as a screening tool for early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. Performed during a routine eye exam, the screening technique could help provide a low-cost, minimally invasive way to detect Alzheimer’s disease before […]
