CNT member Azadeh Yazdan receives a five-year grant from the NIH

CNT member Azadeh Yazdan recently received a five-year grant from the NIH to experiment with using optogenetic stimulation, a cutting-edge neurotechnology, to induce targeted changes in the brain. Her research could lead to better treatments for neurological disorders and diseases such as stroke.
