In celebrating its ten-year anniversary, the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions hosted a collaborative forum Thursday to determine Duke’s role in responding to the world’s ever-changing environmental problems.
Wednesday marked the grand opening of the the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Center of Durham, the first center of its kind in the city.
Duke scientists’ recent breakthrough in brain mapping technology has enabled them to make an improved model of a mouse’s brain, which can then be used to help determine the origins of neurological disorders, and improve treatment in humans. Using an innovational approach of diffusion imaging, a team here at Duke succeeded in creating a three dimensional map of the circuitry inside of a mouse’s brain at a resolution 100,000 times greater than that of a clinical MRI scan.
