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 […]
Recent work from our lab has focused on understanding the function of the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) in both health and disease. This region plays a critical role in supporting cognitive […]
We are delighted to host Dr. Gerald Obermair, a well-known neuroscientist from Karl Landsteiner University, Krems, Austria who will be visiting on Thursday, July 31. Seminar summary: Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) are essential regulators of cellular excitability and synaptic communication. Among their auxiliary subunits, the α2δ proteins play a pivotal role in regulating channel expression, […]
Come and learn about some cool science and hang out with your neuroscience colleagues over pizza and drinks!! Neuropizza takes place monthly in the Koerner conference room starting at 5:00pm and is open to […]
Our ability to sequence movements and actions in response to unpredictable environmental events underlies our rich and adaptive behavioral repertoire. Such flexible behaviors contrast with overtrained, or automatic, motor sequences […]
While the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is known to be a highly stress sensitive region of the brain, there is surprisingly little understanding of the role the BLA plays in the […]
This month, Martin Krzywinski, Canada’s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre will present "Crafting Visual Explanations of Complex Science: Philosophy and Practice." You’ll learn practical guidelines for crafting visual explanations of […]
Emerging evidence suggests that key neurodevelopmental processes are shaped by immune and microbial signals during the prenatal period. My work is based on the premise that disruptions to these signals […]
Synapses are the computational subunits of the brain. They allow cell-type specific forms of information flow, permit neurons to compartmentalize electrical and biochemical signals, and undergo rapid structural plasticity during […]
