The lab at the USC Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education will explore how neuroscience can be integrated into classroom practices.
USC’s neuroimaging unit has received funding to map reward circuitry in the brain and to investigate its role in two neurodevelopmental conditions.
A USC-led study of patients with epilepsy shows how making new neurons benefits cognition in adults.
A “brain stress test” could assess a person’s risk for stroke by measuring blood pressure in the brain with an affordable, portable device.
Since its founding in 2023, the Center has been boosted by several grants, including $5 million in new funding from the National Institutes of Health’s Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies Initiative.
A USC-led study could potentially help identify people at risk for poorer post-stroke outcomes.
The study — part of the USC-based, global ENIGMA Consortium — looks at brain aging and Alzheimer's to identify predictive markers, better understand prognoses and support personalized risk evaluations.
AI-powered analysis developed at USC accurately reflects risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease based on brain age.
USC scientists are the first to identify patterns of white matter connectivity exclusive to core autistic symptoms, pointing out a potential flaw in previous autism neuroscience research.
USC research led by Andrei Irimia shows how traumatic injuries increase the brain’s “biological age” and highlights the need for early monitoring.
