Demystifying Medicine - Parkinson ’ s Disease: Advances and Challenges
Demystifying Medicine Lecture Series
Parkinson's is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that causes tremors, slowness of movement, rigidity, and postural instability. The disease may also lead to depression, anxiety, and, in the advanced stages of the disease, dementia. The cause remains unknown, and there is no cure. However, treatment to ameliorate symptoms has advanced in promising ways over the past decade.
Ellen Sidransky, M.D., is an NIH senior investigator and chief of the NHGRI Medical Genetics Branch and Section on Molecular Neurogenetics. Her lab aims to understand and to optimize trea...

Neurobiology of Social Behavior Circuits
This is a special NIH Director's Lecture in the WALS series. Speaker Catherine DuLac, Ph.D., Harvard University, employs genetic manipulation of pheromone signaling, which has led to a novel assessment of the respective roles of the vomeronasal organ (VNO) and the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) in pheromone-mediated behaviors. She discovered that, in contrast to previous thinking, VNO activity is not required for the initiation of male-female mating behavior in the mouse, and instead, ensures sex discrimination among conspecifics. In contrast, MOE signaling appears essential to trigger mating in the mouse.For more informa...
