How does the brain maintain stable internal representations of the world while also remaining flexible enough to learn, adapt, and predict the future? This is a central question in systems neuroscience. In this talk, I will present recent work from my lab that addresses this problem at both the level of network dynamics and the […]
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 everyone.
This presentation will review the need for a precision medicine approach to opioid withdrawal and illustrate how variability in withdrawal symptom expression would inform novel treatment strategies. Differences in withdrawal presentation as a result of illicit fentanyl exposure will be reviewed and results from a randomized trial comparison of a new medication for withdrawal management […]
Join us for a timely and thought-provoking interdisciplinary panel on “Innovative Approaches to Opioid Use Disorder Management in the Fentanyl Era,” co-sponsored by the MATRIX-N cluster and DMCBH. Leading experts will explore emerging solutions, from novel therapeutics and withdrawal management strategies to patient-centered research and cross-sector collaboration. Together, they will examine how the realities of […]
Repairing the Mind brings together leading UBC researchers who are transforming how we detect, understand, and treat brain injuries and disorders. From simple blood tests that catch concussion and dementia earlier, to personalized treatments for spinal cord injuries, to new technologies that help patients communicate even when they appear unresponsive—this event will highlight how research is […]
The talk will undertake an overview of the physiology of the human dying process as an in vivo model of brain ischemia physiology. The talk will cover the feasibility of undertaking this work at VGH and the characterization of the physiology of circulatory arrest in humans. Additionally, I will describe preliminary insights into the changes […]
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 Evelyn Young from the Interactive Mind and Motion Lab. Learn more
Human cognition and mental health do not arise from the brain alone, but from continuous interactions among people, bodies, and social environments. This talk introduces a multi-brain perspective on neuroscience that connects research on consciousness with new directions in psychiatry. Using recent advances that enable multiple brains to be recorded simultaneously, we explore how everyday […]
The Neuroscience Research Colloquium (NRC), is a series of lectures featuring local and international neuroscientists.
