What does a perfect soccer play look like to a neuroscientist?
The actions we see on the field, which seem to happen one after another, actually overlap inside the player’s head, says Miguel Vivar-Lazo, PhD @zuckermanbrain.bsky.social @columbiamed.bsky.social #FWC26 ⚽

What does neuroscience research look like in practice? 🧠
IICD Summer Research Program students visited Dr. Darcy Peterka’s lab at @zuckermanbrain.bsky.social, where they took a look at the IICD two-photon microscope and learned how researchers study the brain in cancer research.

Tiny changes can have profound effects on life. Lochlan Krupa, an undergraduate working in the @bendeskylab.com lab, knows this well. He recently discovered that the duplication of a single gene gave fish a new ability to make a vitamin from their food zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/science-life...
This week, IICD and @zuckermanbrain.bsky.social hosted middle school students from Q StudioLab for a visit focused on science, research, and discovery.
Students had the opportunity to connect with IICD scientists over lunch and learn more about careers in STEM!

Neuroscientists are discovering that spending time with others may be a basic biological necessity, like need for food or water
Abstract. In vertebrates, vitamin A (VA) is crucial for development, tissue homeostasis, vision, and immunity. Retinal, a form of VA, can be produced via e
