Universal rules of adaptation will emerge when we leverage natural variation in brain function under heat stress.
Evolution-inspired solutions to protect vulnerable populations or repurpose old drugs for climate-driven neurocognitive risk.
Roadmap to safeguard brain health in a warming world.
Immediate relevance to health, including learning, mental health, and disease risk.
Whole organism, real world approach to ecologically-relevant pressures.
New computational methods that use the raw material of adaptation to uncover the mechanisms driving evolutionary potential and to overcome barriers of prior multi-omics research. This work begins with CAGEE, and will be further developed with new data streams.
True comparative power by studying climate 'winners' and 'losers' to reveal patterns of convergence divergence, and deep homology.
Open-source analytical platform to track and predict neurobiological evolution across multiple anthropogenic insults.
