This NIH-funded project studies the brain's role as a neural pacemaker regulating aging using killifish as a model organism, focusing on behavioral, molecular, and neural network mechanisms to control aging.
Description
The project aims to understand how the brain influences aging and longevity, leveraging innovative technologies and models like killifish to identify behavioral, molecular, and neural network markers and mechanisms that control aging processes. It involves high-throughput aging studies, behavioral analysis, molecular phenotyping, and neural network testing in a vertebrate model.
