Welcome to the Charvet lab!

Meet the team!

The Charvet lab consists of graduate, undergraduate, and veterinary students. We study comparative neuroscience. We enjoy meeting, dining, and traveling. Some students join us from other institutions.

Toni and Madison report exciting findings from the 2022 Society for Neuroscience Meeting. We were excited Kwadwo Ofori from Delaware State University joined us.

Collaborators in Delaware

these are mouse brains. these are finding pahtways through the mouse brain

Drs. Kahn Hekmatyar and Jianli Sun

We have implemented high angular resolution diffusion MR scans at the University of Delaware thanks to Kahn. As you can see on the right panel, the tractography (top panel) is concordant with tract-tracers in mice (lower panel). This work is funded by a Delaware INBRE. The mission of the INBRE is to enhance the research infrastructure of Delaware. Below is an example of the tractography from diffusion MR scans from mouse brains.

The tract-tracers are from the Allen Brain Institute
