Warren Neuroscience Lab (WNL)

Please join us in congratulating the newest PhD of the WNL, Dr. Abi Heller-Wight! We’re so proud to celebrate this incredible milestone with you @abihellerwight!

Congratulations to all the students and staff of the WNL who presented outstanding posters and represented the lab at #SfN! Amazing work from an amazing team!

Headed to #SfN2025? Don’t miss these posters from the WNL on the brain and memory.

Huge congratulations to graduate student @MeghanK_Ramirez for being recognized at the College of Medicine Annual Research Retreat for her outstanding scientific achievement of receiving a prestigious F99/K00 award!

Graduate student @abihellerwight will be presenting her research at the Big 10 Neuroscience Seminar Series! Don’t miss the chance to hear about her work and other exciting research coming out of UNMC! Interested in attending? DM us for the Zoom link!

Today on #WorldAlzheimersDay we honor those affected by Alzheimer's disease. We remain dedicated to uncovering the mechanisms behind it and driving forward scientific discovery.

Are you heading to #Flux2025? Don’t miss the chance to learn about our PRANK studies, including PRANK-X and PRANK-Fit! Catch grad students @MeghanK_Ramirez and @abihellerwight at their posters!

Big congrats to MD/PhD student @abihellerwight for winning the Outstanding Poster Presentation Award at the Dept. of Pharmacology & Experimental Neuroscience Scientific Retreat!👏

Last week, WNL had the opportunity to visit @UNMC_iEXCEL. We explored some incredible tech for visualizing the brain and walked away with new insights and a great experience. Grateful to have this kind of innovation right here on campus!

Will you be at #AAIC25? Catch graduate student @MeghanK_Ramirez at her poster on Tuesday if you’re interested in how early-life experiences relate to the development of brain structure and function vulnerable to AD.

Today is #WorldBrainDay! Let’s raise awareness about brain health, neurological/neurodegenerative disorders, and the power of neuroscience to change lives. Remember to take care of your brain, it’s the only one you’ve got!

Join us in congratulating graduate student @MeghanK_Ramirez on her #OSNAP award!

Check out some photos of our Clinical Coordinator, @AnnaWilhelm95, rocking the TMS head tracker. This device helps inform the machine of her head’s position so we can precisely map specific areas of the brain.

Had the honor of hosting students at the WNL as part of the Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) at UNMC! We loved sharing our passion for neuroscience and demonstrating one of our coolest research tools: the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) machine.

So happy to see this work from Jennifer Sexton out in the world! 🎉 Contributing to this project when I was research assistant at @UNMC_WNL helped inspire my interest in age-related changes in relational memory! frontiersin.org/journals/cogni…

Congratulations to graduate student Meghan Ramirez and co-authors on their recently published review!

Will you be at the Dallas Aging and Cognition Conference? If so, stop by the posters of MD/PhD student @abihellerwight and SURP student Akanksha!

Congratulations to Abi and Meghan!

Congratulations to our Ducks Amuck winners in the WNL!

Congratulations to doctoral candidate @MeghanK_Ramirez for being named a Graduate Student of Distinction! Meghan was honored with the prestigious NIH D-SPAN (F99/K00) award. unmc.edu/gradstudies/ed…
