Our lab seeks to gain granular descriptions of synaptic, neuronal and network dynamics in the brain. To this end, we use a combination of in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology, two-photon imaging/uncaging, optogenetics and behavioral approaches, and use computational simulations to coalesce these levels of analysis in tractable interpretations. I will present results from ongoing […]

Combining open-ended interviews (outside the scanner) with structural, trial-by-trial, and resting-state functional MRI neuroimaging, we examined real-time functional neural dynamics underlying diverse urban mid-adolescents’ cognitive and emotional engagement with compelling social stories at two time-points, two years apart. We found that the patterns of longitudinal change in neural network dynamics predicted psychosocial outcomes five years […]

Successful pursuit of reinforcers requires the generation of predictions and evaluation of outcomes. Midbrain dopamine neurons and their projections to the striatum are thought to be critical for these processes. Here, we will consider two narratives: dopamine as a reward signal and dopamine as an error signal. Then we will examine the extent to which […]
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 […]
The Neuroscience Research Colloquium (NRC), is a series of lectures featuring local and international neuroscientists.
