Creating a Parts List for the Brain
(VTC)
Many of the psychological and neurological diseases are believed to be diseases of specific cell types. As a member of the Fox Lab at FBRI, Katelyn Stebbins is helping shed light on how the developing visual thalamus - a small brain region that processes information from the eye - forms and maintains its characteristic map, which is critical to proper brain functions. By identifying the specific cells and circuits of the visual system to create a "parts list," Katelyn is helping provide an expansive dataset for researchers working to clarify the links between brain development and psychiatric and neurological illnesses.
Katelyn Stebbins is an MD+PhD student at Virginia Tech Carilion on the Health Sciences and Technology campus in Roanoke.
