From BRAIN to Bedside: Translation of Next-Generation Circuit Therapies (Day 2)
The goal of this workshop is to bring together cross-disciplinary investigators to discuss the potential for human translation of next-generation circuit therapies for disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). The focus will be on the use of innovative and novel tools which includes optogenetics, chemogenetics, and gene editing, as well as cutting-edge approaches to neuromodulation. Sessions will discuss existing approaches to circuit manipulation, advances in gene therapy approaches, and how they may inform future CNS circuit therapies. Of particular importance will be the highlighting of CNS translational hurdles an...

NEI AGI Seminar
The Audacious Goals Initiative (AGI) for Regenerative Medicine is an effort by the National Eye Institute (NEI) to push the boundaries of vision science and restore vision through regeneration of the retina. By facilitating cross-disciplinary research, we are tackling the most devastating and difficult-to-treat eye diseases. Our audacious goal is to replace cells of the retina that have been damaged by disease or injury and to restore their connections to the visual centers of the brain. Dr. Kirill Martemyanov is the Chair of the Neuroscience Department and Professor on Scripps Florida campus overseeing the broad range of ...

Integrative Neuroimaging of the Developing Brain in Health and Disease
The Section on Developmental Neurogenomics (SDN) is dedicated to better understanding the biology of childhood-onset neuropsychiatric disorders in ways that might ultimately help to improve disease prediction, detection and treatment. We approach this overarching goal by using neuroimaging, genomic and bioinformatic techniques to dissect the architecture of human brain development in health, and in neurogenetic disorders that increase risk for psychiatric symptoms. This talk will begin with a brief high-level overview of clinical research within the SDN, before drilling down into two recent lines of work that examine: (i) ...

Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Can Physical Activity Improve the Health of Wheelchair Users? (Day 3)
The 2010 census estimated that 3.6 million Americans use a wheeled mobility device, such as a manual wheelchair, motorized wheelchair, or scooter. This number is projected to be four times higher in 2020. Individuals who use wheeled mobility devices often experience distinct health challenges and poor health outcomes and may also encounter barriers to accessing preventive health care and getting sufficient physical activity. Physical activity interventions are likely to have wide-ranging impacts on the overall health of people who use wheeled mobility devices and may improve their workforce participation, independence, and...
