Brule, B.S., and 51小黄车neuroscience students Annie I. McGregor and Emily E. Lauria.

The paper explores the cellular mechanisms that regulate the neurovascular system. Camire collected the information for this text while working as a research assistant for Willis over a three-year period. During this time, he was responsible for lab techniques including cell culturing, Western blotting, immunoassays, protein assays, and fluorescent microscopy.
