Step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with calm in a truly immersive setting. Meditate beneath the stars in our Planetarium, where the vastness of the universe meets the stillness of the mind—inviting reflection, balance, and renewal. Presented in collaboration with the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre and the BC Brain Wellness Program, […]
This month, Cal Rosete, Daria Oleinichenko, Paula Villela Nunes, Sarah Ng, Solana Redway-Ziola and Stefanie Todesco will present their MATRIX-N Junior Scholars Lightning Talks: ‘Translational Research in Action.’ Zoom link if unable to attend in person: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/5936706150?pwd=bWFoeDNGMkk2ZVNOQk9FTFZIT0lZdz09&omn=62102214283
Mental health research is entering a bold new era. As rates of depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric conditions continue to rise, researchers at UBC are developing groundbreaking tools to offer new possibilities for diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. From brain stimulation therapies like TMS, to ethical applications of social robotics, to movie-based neuroimaging tools, discover how […]
Join us for the UBC Behavioural Neuroscience Seminars (BNS), a lecture series featuring DMCBH trainees and professors in a casual setting. Talks take place from 3-4 pm every Friday in DMCBH 3402A-C. This week's speaker is Jérôme Plumier from the Soma Lab. Learn more
The human brain has the remarkable capacity to transport the self into the past and future. While previously thought of as distinct functions, recent research has shown that memory for past events and imagination of future events rely on the same brain networks. In this talk, I will present neuroimaging and neuropsychological research demonstrating the […]
Ever wondered what’s actually happening inside the brain when disease strikes, and how scientists figure it out? Decoding the Brain: How Different Cells Contribute to Disease is a free, after-hours science event that brings you inside the world of modern neuroscience, without the textbooks or technical jargon. Taking place at The Forge in Gastown, this evening features short, engaging […]
Understanding how the brain encodes, stores, and uses information is a central goal of neuroscience. Many neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and Alzheimer’s disease, may arise from disrupted information processing. Thus, uncovering the neural mechanisms by which information is represented in the brain is not only key to […]
Join us for the UBC Behavioural Neuroscience Seminars (BNS), a lecture series featuring DMCBH trainees and professors in a casual setting. Talks take place from 3-4 pm every Friday in DMCBH 3402A-C. This week's speaker is Salvatore Furfaro from the Snyder Lab. Learn more
This month, Dr. Tristan Hynes (Assistant Professor of Psychology at SFU and Associate Member at the DMCBH) will present "Contributions of striatal astrocytes to drug addiction." Zoom link if unable […]
Dr. Mayo will talk about studies involving animal-to-human translational work highlighting how endocannabinoid function regulates stress reactivity and fear learning, leveraging human behavioral pharmacology and neuroimaging. She will also highlight outcomes from a recent clinical trial exploring how augmenting cannabinoid function impacts clinical, behavioral, and neural measures in people with PTSD.
The Neuroscience Research Colloquium (NRC), is a series of lectures featuring local and international neuroscientists.
