“NeuroPRSMH is a great place to get ideas,” said NeuroPRSMH faculty member Alik Widge, PhD, MD. “I know my lab’s general direction regarding modifying networks in the brain, but I don’t always know what the most effective target is. Our NeuroPRSMH discussions give me new and promising ideas about how to approach and refine my work.”
