Somewhere over the brainbow Dr. Tamily Weissman-Unni of Lewis & Clark College is lighting up the brains of zebrafish to create maps of their neural networks. The resulting diagrams are part of a larger world-wide effort to construct a complete "wiring diagram" (connectome) of the human brain.
Congratulations to Dr. Weissman-Unni, who was recently named a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER award.
