Article Synopsis
- Various genetic techniques help trace cell lineage during tissue development, with some focusing on spatial/temporal aspects and others linking gene expression to lineage.
- The G-TRACE system allows for quick visualization of GAL4 expression patterns, enabling genome-wide expression-based lineage studies conducted by UCLA students and high school scholars.
- Findings revealed new expression-based lineage patterns and were compiled into the G-TRACE Expression Database (GED), contributing to better student learning outcomes and retention in STEM fields.
Background: Current medication and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatments for depression bring only approximately one-third of patients to remission. Newer TMS techniques such as bilateral treatment, neuronavigation, and theta burst stimulation (TBS) show promise in improving remission rates. However, it is unclear whether newer off-label techniques improve outcomes enough to justify widespread implementation.

In 2007, the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Department of Neurosurgery created a quality dashboard to help manage process measures and outcomes and ultimately to enhance clinical performance and patient care. At that time, the dashboard was in a platform that required data to be entered manually.
