Do you often have problems hearing yet your doctor says your hearing tests check out just fine? Thanks to research done at the UConn School of Medicine, there is now a proven technique to identify “hidden” hearing loss that likely goes undetected with traditional audiograms. Two researchers at UConn School of Medicine have developed a […]

Eyeing Early Detection of Precursor to Blindness
Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in the U.S., and UConn scientists are working toward a way to enable earlier detection of a condition that leads to it. Led by Royce Mohan, associate professor of neuroscience at UConn Health, a team of researchers is developing a fluorescent small molecule imaging reagent to […]
Neuroscience Researchers Identify New Clue to Angelman Syndrome
A new stem cell model of Angelman syndrome delivers evidence for three molecular mechanisms underlying the condition — and one potential treatment. Researchers presented the unpublished results today at the 2016 Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in San Diego. The study found that the primary genetic cause of the syndrome, deletion of the UBE3A gene, […]
