Yet, the mechanisms by which microglia can drive neurodegeneration remain unresolved. Here, we discover that a conserved stress signaling […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Neuroscience Research Colloquium (NRC), is a series of lectures featuring local and international neuroscientists.
