Brain injury from intimate partner violence is often missed because symptoms can look like anxiety, forgetfulness, brain fog, headaches or dizziness. Recognizing IPV-BI is the first step toward connecting survivors with support. #IPVBI #EndGBV 034

In this video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, a blue neuron's axon forms a connection to a far neuron. Along the way, it links to some neighbors while skipping thousands. Connectomics seeks to understand what makes those connections special. 4339
