“This work represents a significant advance in the development of biocompatible devices,” says UCLA Life Scientist Reggie Edgerton: In his own work, Edgerton has placed electrodes outside the dura mater and shown they can help paralyzed patients recover limited movement.
UCLA Psychologists say those in positions of great authority often become self-centered, lose touch with other people, even stop caring. But the data shows it’s not necessarily their fault. The behaviors are directly linked to changes in the frontal lobe of the brain.
Alexander Hoffmann and Douglas Black, professors of Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics receive a $6 million NIH grant to launch multidisciplinary research across UCLA.
UCLA biologist Brenda Larison and colleagues visited zebra populations throughout Africa and studied stripe patterns. The most important factors affecting stripes: temperature.
Recent research led by UCLA Life Scientists, Michael Alfaro and Jessica Lynch Alfaro, is changing how we think about endangered monkeys in the Amazon.
