Brent Reynolds, PhD, was a world-renowned neuroscientist and a treasured faculty member in the UF Department of Neurosurgery. He was among the first to show generation of neurons and astrocytes from neural stem cells (Reynolds & Weiss, Science 1992). We will miss Brent dearly. https://mbi.ufl.edu/2026/05/04/mbi-community-mourns-renowned-neuroscientist-dr-brent-reynolds/
