Professor Azadeh Yazdan's team developed a technological toolbox that allows scientists to control and monitor brain activity with light in non-human primates for years at a time, a breakthrough expected to bridge the gap between basic laboratory research and life-saving human medicine. The lab has successfully maintained functional brain interfaces in monkeys for over four years, an important pathway to future therapies. Their work recently appeared in Nature Communications.
