When chatting about your condition and possible treatments, it’s likely your doctor explained everything verbally. Just think of the last time you visited a doctor. But there’s another active group of users that we didn’t anticipate: medical professionals and patients.ĭoctor-patient communication has historically faced significant challenges. Sound like a great tool for students and educators? That’s exactly what we had in mind, and indeed, it is how the 3D Brain is most often used. Each structure also includes supporting educational materials: information on disorders, case studies, and even links to current research. With more than 2.5 million downloads, it was created to allow students to explore 29 individual structures in the brain. One of our most successful tools was originally produced for G2C Online: the 3D Brain app is an interactive, three-dimensional model of the human brain. In 2009 we produced the Genes to Cognition Online website in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust and funded by the Dana Foundation. Still other scientists are working to map all of the neuronal connections with in the brain.ĬSHL’s DNA Learning Center works to translate the science behind these amazing discoveries for the benefit of the broader public. Other research teams are working to understand memory and cognition, exploring how our brain processes sensory information. Scientists have made tremendous advances in understanding the genetics of autism and other neurological disorders. World-class brain research happens right here on the CSHL campus. The Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives has collaborated with the Society for Neuroscience to host events around the world, letting us all catch a glimpse of the amazing power of our minds. Today marks the end of Brain Awareness Week, a global campaign to increase awareness about the benefits of brain research.
