[1] Upon joining the brain and cognitive sciences faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Nedivi was awarded a 1999 Sloan Research Fellowship.
[2] The next year, Nedivi and her research team discovered molecules in adult brains that allowed the organ to grow and change.
[4] Upon conducting further research, she found that the gene cpg15 was vital to the survival of neural stem cells in early development.
[7] As the Fred and Carole Middleton Assistant Professor of Neurobiology, she conducted a study to find the possibility of growing new cells to replace ones damaged by disease or spinal cord injury.
[8] By 2008, her research team discovered that a type of neuron related to Autism spectrum disorders developed in a thin strip of brain tissue at the upper border of cortical layer 2.
