WE-SPARK researchers interested in neuroscience and brain health work individually and collaboratively with the goal of understanding how the nervous system and human brain controls physiology and behavior. Our work spans from basic science to the clinic and our research stands to understand how to improve the care for patients with a broad spectrum of disorders and conditions.
