Our perception of the world begins with stimuli in the environment but is then dramatically shaped by our expectations, past experience, and internal state. Olfactory perception is especially sensitive to […]
Microglia are the macrophages of the brain and participate to its development, homeostasis, and defense against pathogens and injuries. Notably, genetic evidence suggests that they are critically involved in neurodegenerative […]
We previously created a mouse model to permanently label neurons activated during learning, the ArcCreERT2 mice (Denny et al., 2014, Neuron). In our first publication, we extensively characterized the ArcCreERT2 […]
SVPRO is back for a second session! This session will focus on the different options that are available for reporting when sexualized violence has occurred. Not everyone wants to report […]
Developing infrastructure and initiatives that promote open science and data sharing is an important part of advancing research. In line with this, Dr. Paul Pavlidis has secured a grant from […]
Our lab is interested in the neural bases for social function, and we use mouse models for diseases that have social deficits at their core. This talk will present our […]

Spontaneous activity accounts for most of what the brain does and is likely to be key for information processing in the brain, but its function is still quite mysterious. Two […]
Ryan Tomm and Brandon Forys from Rebecca Todd's lab will be presenting findings from a collaborative project between researchers in the Mental Health and Addictions integrated research program: "Linking animal […]

Diseases of the brain are among the most challenging disorders to diagnose and treat. Unlike cancer, where human tissue biopsy specimens are routinely collected, brain disorders lack routine access to […]
Dr. Edwards has offered to meet with researchers throughout the day on Feb 17 to discuss open science. If you are interested, please reach out to Paul Pavlidis (paul@msl.ubc.cs). Trainees […]
The Neuroscience Research Colloquium (NRC), is a series of lectures featuring local and international neuroscientists.
