What makes us who we are? How do billions of neurons working together become our thoughts, feelings, and memories? How do they spark imagination and creativity? By tracing these connections, mapping how each neuron links to another, McGovern scientists are carving a path to uncover how these patterns generate the human experience. Because the intricate networks of neurons we're working to understand, are the very ones that make understanding possible - empowering us to learn, discover, and create. And by exploring them, we see that being human at every level is about connection.
This winter, may our connections spark new possibilities for the year ahead.
Happy holidays from your friends at the McGovern Institute!
