Credit: S. Pașca Lab, Stanford Univ. Ever since he was a medical student in Romania, Sergiu Pașca has wanted to understand how connections between cells go awry in the brains of people with psychiatric disorders. Because the living human brain is inaccessible, these conditions could be diagnosed and classified only according to their behavioural symptoms, rather than their underlying biological caus
