Report summary

The 2024-2026 picture for University of Chicago Department of Neurobiology is a 12-PI network with 3 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Neuroscience as the leading field (41% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels), Cognitive Neuroscience as the leading subfield (20% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels), and Memory and Neural Mechanisms as the leading topic (9% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The top weighted PIs are Paschalis Kratsios (6.4 weighted works; Genetics, Aging, and Longevity in Model Organisms, Developmental Biology and Gene Regulation). The strongest pairings are Kevin P. Koster and Christian Hansel (4 shared works, weight 2.2); Gregg Wildenberg and Narayanan Kasthuri (3 shared works, weight 1.6). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 4.4, around Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Cognitive Neuroscience, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, led by Kevin P. Koster, Christian Hansel, Gregg Wildenberg.
