NIH funds researchers using light to control and monitor neural activity
(University of Texas at Arlington) Samarendra Mohanty, assistant professor of physics at The University of Texas at Arlington, expects to receive a total of $384,269 over the next two years from the NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. His work involves using a near-infrared ultrafast laser beam to deliver genes that allow expression of light-sensitive proteins, called opsins, in specific cells. That proteins' expression allows researchers to influence neural activity through optical or light stimulation -- a technique known as optogenetics.

UT Dallas researchers find early success in new treatment for stroke recovery
(University of Texas at Dallas) Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas conducted a study testing vagus nerve stimulation as a possible technique to improve recovery from stroke. The stimulation method already is approved for use in humans for treating a number of diseases. In the animal study, researchers found that pairing vagus nerve stimulation with physical rehabilitation returned all of the rats in the trial group to pre-stroke levels -- double the effectiveness of rehabilitation alone.

UTSA student wins American Heart Association fellowship for nanosystems engineering research
(University of Texas at San Antonio) University of Texas at San Antonio biomedical engineering Ph.D. candidate Anand Srinivasan has been awarded a $25,000, one-year doctoral fellowship from the American Heart Association. This highly competitive fellowship provides significant funding to doctoral students to support research and training in cardiovascular and stroke discoveries. Srinivasan will develop a new chip-based platform that can be used to test the effectiveness of drug treatments for infective endocarditis, a dangerous bacterial-fungal infection of the heart's inner lining.
