New Johns Hopkins University research reveals there are actually 28 distinct types of dopamine-releasing neurons in the brain—way more than the handful of types previously known. 🧠✨

The discovery reveals a far more complex dopamine system and could advance research into Parkinson's, addiction, depression, and other brain disorders.

🎉 Big congratulations to 12 Hopkins BME undergraduates selected for two of the university’s most prestigious summer research fellowships!

This summer, ten BME students will take part in the Provost Undergraduate Research Award (PURA), pursuing independent research projects ranging from migraine pain treatment and cardiac monitoring to intracranial pressure estimation and live-cell imaging.

In addition, two students were chosen for the Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships (BDP) Summer Program, where they’ll spend ten weeks working closely with Bloomberg Distinguished Professors on research in epigenetics and chromatin biology.

A fantastic recognition of the talent, curiosity, and innovation driving Hopkins BME forward. 👏🔬
