WALS Lecture: Leveraging Genetics and Cell Signaling to Decipher Disorders of Excitability
Presentation Objectives: To understand how genetic testing illuminates the causes of a devastating disease, Sudden Unexpected Death in Childhood, and identifies dysfunctional calcium signaling as a major cause; To chart a course for how genetic analysis of neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder will spur understanding the impact of non-coding variations in key signaling proteins; To appreciate how genetics highlights underappreciated signaling molecules that coordinate excitatory and inhibitory synaptic strength and provide a target for cannabidiol (CBD) action in e...

WALS Lecture with Danielle Bassett on Biological Networks
Speaker Danielle S. Bassett ’ s group studies the structure and function of networks, predominantly in physical and biological systems. Her interests lie in using and developing tools and theories from complex systems science, statistical mechanics, and applied mathematics to study dynamic changes in network architecture, the interaction between topological properties of networks and physical or other constraints, and the influence of network topology on signal propagation (mechanical, electrical, informational) and system function. In physical systems, her group conducts research in dynamical systems as well as granular...

Using light to treat cancer and schizophrenia? It  s in-gene-ious.
Using tiny photonic implants, researchers have wirelessly controlled a gene in lab-grown brain tissue -- an initial step that could one day lead to new cancer treatments and ways to prevent and treat certain mental disorders.This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

CANCELLED - RNA splice codes for synapse specification and neuronal plasticity
Please note the NIH Neuroscience Series lecture on Monday, December 11, 2017 at noon in the Porter Neuroscience Research Center, Room 620, Building 35, has been cancelled due to bad weather and flight cancellation.
NIH Neuroscience Series Seminar
The brain is one of the most fascinating and complex systems in the body. It controls sensory perceptions, emotions, and actions and makes it possible to form memories and learn highly specialized behaviors. Changes in the connectivity and function of neurons underlie disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, which pose significant challenges to today's society. The aim of Dr. S...

Multifaceted Functions of Mitochondria in Neuronal Synapses
Director's Seminar Series
The Section on Synapse Development and Synaptic Plasticity led by Dr. Zheng Li is interested in the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying synapse development and synaptic plasticity in normal brains and synaptopathology associated with psychiatric disorders. Our research shows that mitochondria, the vital organelles in eukaryotic cells, not only are essential for the general cell physiology, but also play multifaceted roles in synapses. In hippocampal neurons, the quantify of mitochondria in dendrites determines the density of synapses and dendritic spines. Mitochondria are permeabilized up...

From Cognitive-type Microcircuits to Large-scale Modeling of the Primate Cortex
NIH Neuroscience Seminar Series
Research in Dr. Wang’s group aims at understanding dynamical behavior and function of neural circuits. Using theoretical and modeling approaches, in close collaboration with experimentalists, they investigate the neural mechanisms and computational principles of cognitive processes, such as decision-making (how we make a choice among multiple options) and working memory (how our brain holds and manipulates information "online" in the absence of sensory stimulation).
Dr. Wang’s lab has been focused on the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which is often called "the CEO of the brain". They are in...
