WALS Lecture: Richard Tsien, Ph.D.
As a physiologist/neurobiologist, I have long been fascinated by calcium channels. These membrane proteins regulate cellular Ca2+ entry in a voltage-dependent manner and thereby link the realms of electrical signaling and intracellular messengers. A single opening of a Ca2+ channel can allow thousands of calcium ions to enter a cell, thus generating a signal that may control transmitter release, excitability, metabolism, or gene expression. My colleagues and I have been active in discovering and classifying diverse types of Ca2+ channels, including the channels most critical for neurosecretion in the brain. By uncovering N...

Pain in Animals Workshop 2023 (Day 2)
Annually millions of people and animals suffer from chronic and acute pain. The challenge is to accurately measure this pain in order to develop analgesics for treatment. Along with the welfare concerns of animals and people being in pain, there is the need to develop new and effective analgesic options that may offer alternatives to opioids. The Pain in Animals Workshop (PAW) meetings are held every other year in partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), bringing key stakeholders together to better understand pain in animals and humans. The 2-day workshop will be held on Sept 26-27th and is open to academi...

Neuroscience Seminar: Targeting the Ventral Pallidum to Modulate Compulsive Behavior
Research in Dr. Creed's lab focuses on how chronic pain, stress and addictive drugs induces changes in neural circuits that underlie symptoms of psychiatric disorders. The lab uses a range of techniques including in vivo and patch clamp electrophysiology, genetic sequencing, neuroanatomy, optogenetics and behavior to study changes in function in the ventral basal ganglia in models of addiction, mood and chronic pain disorders. The main goal of the lab is to leverage insight from circuit studies to develop novel neuromodulation therapies for these disorders, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and targeted drug delivery ...

Chronic joint pain plagues over thirty-two million Americans.
Thirty-two million Americans have osteoarthritis, deterioration of joint cartilage and the attached bone. Many also have post-traumatic osteoarthritis, PTOA, as a result of an injury, like the more than 3 million veterans who suffer from it. There is no treatment for PTOA other than ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)
