For those with concussion or dementia who have difficulty with movement, pinpointing the problem can yield answers.
Shayna Rosenbaum
New insight on the hippocampus, which creates memories, could help patients dealing with neurological diseases.
Doug Crawford
Vision shapes so much of people's interaction with the world. Doug Crawford is delving into how it all works in a unique way.

Our vestibular system helps us self-orient relative to gravity. But what can astronauts, living in the absence of gravity, teach us about our spaces?
Jeff Schall
How do the brain and body intersect to enact decision making? What role does vision play? These questions are driving new frontiers of research.
Jeff Schall: Cutting to the Heart of Free Will and Human Nature
Lauren Sergio & Robert Allison
In trying to understand how the brain controls movement, a wide variety of expertise is needed, from neuroscience to virtual reality.
Lauren Sergio & Robert Allison: It Takes a Community to Raise a Cure
Niko Troje
How do the brain and body intersect to enact decision making? What role does vision play? These questions are driving new frontiers of research.
Niko Troje: We’re Not Seeing Eye to Eye with This New Normal
Laurence Harris
When our eyes and balance system in the inner ears send opposing signals to the brain, the mismatch can be disorienting. Roller-coaster's 'weird sensations' starts with just the anticipation of unpleasantness.
Laurence Harris: Roller-coaster's 'weird sensations' perceived differently with age
Dale Stevens
Neuroscience techniques help us understand age-related changes in cognition and the brain. Recent advances in neurostimulation and neurofeedback technology now make it possible to not only observe, but manipulate the inner workings of the living human brain.
