Principal Investigator: X. William Yang
UCLA Neuroscience
Title: “Novel Genetic Strategy for Sparse Labeling and Manipulation of Mammalian Neurons”
BRAIN Category: Tools for Cells and Circuits (RFA MH-14-216)

Dr. Yang’s team will develop a new way to genetically target specific neurons, incorporating streamlined imaging and mapping methods that will enable the detection of sparse populations of cells that often elude existing methods.
