The Future of Non-invasive Functional Imaging in the Era of Big Data
This is an NIH Director's Lecture. Speaker Damien Fair: " My research focuses on mechanisms and principles that underlie the developing brain. The majority of this work uses functional MRI and resting state functional connectivity MRI to assess typical and atypical populations. A second focus has become testing the feasibility of using various functional and structural MRI techniques in translational studies of developmental neuropsychiatric disorders (e.g., attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism). I am exploring ways to better characterize individual patients with these psychopathologies to help guide future...

Exploring adult brain plasticity following adverse developmental conditions
NIH Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Adverse conditions during development, including stress in early life or the presence of a neurodevelopmental disorder, can set the stage for enduring behavioral impairments that last a lifetime. While it would be ideal to prevent or reverse such occurrences during the developmental period, in the absence of these options, approaches designed to modify residual plasticity in the adult brain may help to optimize function and mitigate problematic behaviors. Using rodent models of early life stress-induced anxiety and hyperactivity, as well as those of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Dr....

Demystifying Medicine 2015 - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): From Causes to Treatment and Long-Term Outcome
The 2015 Demystifying Medicine Series, which is jointly sponsored by FAES and NIH, will begin January 6th and includes the presentation of patients, pathology, diagnosis and therapy in the context of major disease problems and current research. Primarily directed toward Ph.D. students, clinicians and program managers, the course is designed to help bridge the gap between advances in biology and their application to major human diseases. Each session includes clinical and basic science components presented by NIH staff and invitees. All students, fellows and staff are welcome, as well.For more information go to http://demys...

Drosophila as a model for alcoholism: An interplay of nature and nurture
Alcohol is one of the most widely used and abused drugs in the world, with devastating medical and social consequences. The estimated prevalence of Alcohol Use Disorders is 8.5 percent in the United States, thus affecting more than 17 million Americans. The difficulty and cost of human studies have led to the development of animal models to investigate the genetic, molecular, and neural mechanisms underlying both the short- and long-term effects of ethanol. Rodent models have been most widely used and have provided important insights into these mechanisms. More recently, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been devel...
