2013 Chancellor’s Award for Research
Nov. 15, 2013—This award recognizes faculty members for excellence in research, scholarship or creative expression. Dr. Casagrande won this award for a ground-breaking paper in Nature Neuroscience, in which a novel linkage was identified between primary visual cortex of the brain and the thalamus, which controls the ability of the visual system to focus. Remarkably, when a...
