The Brain’s A-Team:  When it comes to brain research, UF scientists are the top of their game.  Meet a few of the Heavy Hitters in Neuroscience.

Diseases of the brain steal: Some steal balance, others memory; some take away the ability to walk, even speak. Some result in a decline that’s long and gradual, or heartbreakingly fast. Each condition is devastating in its own way for those afflicted and for all the people who love them. Dementia, brain cancer, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, stroke, dystonia, addiction and the typical cognitive declines that often come with aging are just a few of the threats to the brain. While to date neuroscience has revealed a great deal about how the brain works, it remains a mysterious frontier.
