CHARVETLAB

Charvetlab research is focused on integrating high-through-put methods in neuroimaging and sequencing to translate time across species... Our innovation is to cut across connectomic and transcriptomic scales to enhance the study of connections in the human brain. We have recently published studies showcasing the power of this approach in studying the evolution and development of connections across species. We are excited to see that our approach is increasingly recognized as a powerful way to study the evolution and development of the human brain... We have a model to translate ages across 18 mammalian species. We have most recently included chimpanzees in the model. We were able to incorporate chimpanzees in the model by integrating transcriptional and structural information. This research provides a rigorous approach with which to compare brain development and aging in humans and chimpanzees and was recently published in the Proceedings B! The study addresses the following question..
