Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience / Our Research Our Research Our researchers harness the collective scientific expertise found across the institution and utilize cutting-edge technologies and resources to deepen our understanding of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. This combination accelerates the translation of discoveries into new ways to diagnose, prevent, and treat these complex diseases. Affiliated Departments Neuroscience Neurology Neurosurgery Pharmacology & Physiology Psychiatry Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics Otolaryngology Brain & Cognitive Sciences Biomedical Engineering The Goergen Institute for Data Science The Flaum Eye Institute University of Rochester Center for Advanced Brain Imaging & Neurophysiology (UR CABIN) University of Rochester Neurorestoration Institute (URNI) Center for Neurotherapeutics Discovery Center for Visual Science Clinical & Social Psychology Biomedical Genetics Biostatistics & Computational Biology Research Spotlight Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D images of the synapse, the important juncture where neurons communicate with each other through an exchange of chemical signals. These nanometer scale models will help scientists better understand and study neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington’s disease and schizophrenia.
