86 billion neurons shape every memory and emotion, and even who we are. 🧠 Our researchers are working to unravel the mysteries of the body’s most complex organ, and how broader societal factors influence our internal mental processes, development, and well-being. Psychology professor Nicolas Davidenko and his undergraduate and graduate researchers are leading research on misophonia, a condition that causes intense physical and emotional reactions to everyday sounds. Early results from this new study show promising ways to help people manage symptoms, and this work is more important now than ever as more people are diagnosed with these conditions. Our work together produces life-changing research innovations and strong academic programs that prepare students for careers in patient care, research, and beyond.
