Carnegie Mellon alumnus and trustee, Jonathan Rothberg, receives National Medal of Technology and Innovation for his Next Generation DNA sequencing research.

Carnegie Mellon researchers examine a segment of multiple layers of brain tissue in order to measure synaptic density throughout multiple layers. This research is a part of the team’s efforts to compare activity between multiple species of brain. This technique allows a much broader examination of the neocortex and allows researchers to glean a much more robust understanding of the synaptic arrangements within the brain.
