She directs the Center of Excellence in Autism Research and is an internationally known expert in the cognitive, neurological, and genetic bases of autism. Minshew was trained as a behavioral child neurologist, and she received an M.D. from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
Renée A. Shellhaas is an American pediatric neurologist and professor. She is the David T. Blasingame Professor of Neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and associate dean for faculty promotions and career development. [5]
Van Essen received his undergraduate degree in chemistry in 1967 from The California Institute of Technology, working on the leech nervous system with John Nichols.He received his doctoral degree in Neurobiology in 1971 from Harvard University and continued as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University under David H. Hubel and Torsten Wiesel where they studied the visual cortex of cats. [7]
A connectome (/ k ə ˈ n ɛ k t oʊ m /) is a comprehensive map of neural connections in the brain, and may be thought of as its "wiring diagram". [2] An organism's nervous system is made up of neurons which communicate through synapses. A connectome is constructed by tracing the neuron in a nervous system and mapping where neurons are ...
Holtzman was born in St. Louis, Missouri. [1] Holtzman pursued a six-year combined Bachelor's and Medical Degree at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.He obtained his Bachelors of Science in Medical Education in 1983 and his Medical Degree in 1985.
Connectomics is the production and study of connectomes: comprehensive maps of connections within an organism's nervous system.More generally, it can be thought of as the study of neuronal wiring diagrams with a focus on how structural connectivity, individual synapses, cellular morphology, and cellular ultrastructure contribute to the make up of a network.
When Swanson and Bota completed a Neurome Project on rats, it was an analysis of the rat's body with all the neural connections going throughout the body. The study of rat neuroma projects continued and now is done by Larry Swanson, Joel Hahn, and Olaf Sporns. Swanson’s research came up with three conclusions that focused on the nervous system.
These structural developments include the maturation of neural connections and the formation of key brain regions associated with sensory processing and emotional regulation. As these areas become more integrated, the fetus begins to exhibit responses to external stimuli, suggesting a nascent awareness of its environment.
