Stevens Neuroscience Research Award. Her research advances our understanding of neuron-microglia interactions in the healthy and diseased brain, using an array of innovative molecular and behavioral approaches. By integrating techniques such as MEA assay, bulk RNA sequencing, and HITS-CLIP with behavioral paradigms such as social interaction assays, Duff\u2019s work sheds light on the cellular mechanisms that shape neural circuit function. Her contributions represent an important step toward unraveling the complexities of brain development, function, and dysfunction, laying the foundation for future therapeutic strategies in neuroscience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The award, named after the renowned neuroscientist Charles F.
