Dr. Pinar Ayata: Neurodegenerative functions of microglia in Alzheimer’s disease

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

Zoom option if unable to attend in person: Zoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”) Meeting ID: 91512 289258 Passcode: 289258 The brain’s primary immune cells, microglia, are a leading causal cell type in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Yet, the mechanisms by which microglia can drive neurodegeneration remain unresolved. Here, we discover that a conserved stress signaling […]

Dr. Stephen Ferguson: G Protein-coupled Receptors, Vesicular Glutamate Transporters and β-arrestins as Targets to Attenuate Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s Disease Progression.

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

Huntington’s disease (HD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are both neurodegenerative disorders that, despite differing in their underlying causes and specific symptoms, share several key features. These include age-related onset, progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss, cognitive decline, and a range of behavioral and psychiatric symptoms. Dr. Ferguson’s research presentation will explore the role and sex-specificity of […]

Dr. Guoqiang Bi: Exploring the nervous system across scales: synapse, brain, and beyond

Koerner Pavilion Conference Centre F-106, 2211 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

Abstract: The brain is a complex system spanning multiple spatiotemporal scales, from protein molecules organizing into intricate nano-machines in the synapse to many neurons interconnected via synapses to form circuits across the brain. In the past decade, we have employed and developed various imaging methods to explore this complexity over different scales. At the microscopic […]
