What is SBARRO & How Is It Being Used to Map Brain Connectivity?

2023 One Mind Rising Star Awardee Arpiar Saunders joins UCLA Professor & Scientist and One Mind SAB member Carrie Bearden to share how he crafted "SBARRO" (Synaptic Barcode Analysis by Retrograde Rabies ReadOut) to map brain connectivity. Watch the full interview here: • Mapping Brain Connecti...
On this episode of “One Scientist’s Mind,” hear from Dr. Arpiar Saunders about how he developed the SBARRO technique to identify specific neurons and build maps of brain connectivity. Dr. Saunders emphasizes the need for the development of new methods for studying genetic variation, which is what led him to developing the SBARRO method.
Watch the full interview to learn more about Arpiar Saunder's work in studying the role of genetic variation in brain organization, the challenges that come with developing genomic systems to study the variations, as well as the unique roles that the striatum & glutamate play in schizophrenia.
