Beautiful Brains

A collaboration between a biology professor and her students is yielding stunning results.
August 02, 2013

Some of the most visually striking research into neural networks is being done here. Assistant Professor of Biology Tamily Weissman-Unni mentors students as they use fluorescing neurons to observe how brains behave.

A participant in the international effort to build a complete wiring diagram of the brain, Weissman-Unni came to Lewis & Clark from Harvard. “I’m so impressed with the students here; they truly wish to be challenged and go in-depth, not just earn a grade,” says Weissman-Unni. “They are easily as smart and talented as students I worked with at Harvard.”

 

Learn more about the work of Weissman-Unni and her students in The Chronicle Magazine.
