Bioelectronic implants for brain stimulation provide critical tools for treating brain diseases as well as investigating fundamental biology but require invasive surgery. In this talk I will discuss a new […]
I will present work we have pursued to identify key mechanisms explaining aberrant pain processing by the nervous system as well as co-morbidities that develop from sustained pain hypersensitivity. This […]
The human brain comprises billions of neurons that communicate primarily through chemical synapses by releasing diverse neuromodulators, which regulate perception, movement, learning, and memory. Dissecting the neural mechanisms in both […]
TDP-43 protein aggregation is a pathological hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this talk, Dr. Michael Strong will discuss the discovery of NF242, an N-terminal fragment of the RNA-binding […]
The head-direction (HD) circuit, an upstream provider of orientation signals for navigation, maintains coherent internal orientation memory that stays stable within each environment for weeks. During non-REM sleep, when hippocampal […]
The brain is constantly receiving sensory information from inside of the body, but it is underappreciated how this internal sensory information can affect animal behavior. To address this, we are […]
The Neuroscience Research Colloquium (NRC), is a series of lectures featuring local and international neuroscientists.
