Medicine is both a science and a practice involving caring for patients by diagnosing and managing injury, disease, and illness. Surgery is a medical specialty which uses operative tetchiness to treat injury, disease, or illness, or alter the function or appearance of a part of the body.
The NIH BRAIN initiative, informed by the report from the scientific community (BRAIN 2025) is underway. The major funded efforts at this time fit into 3 main categories; 1) defining the comp...
There is growing interest internationally in elucidating the clinical and biological profile of those at high genetic risk to bipolar disorder (BD) so as to enable the development of targeted...
Since the discovery and maturing of in vitro techniques that characterized neurotransmitter receptor systems in animal and human brain and subsequent development of in vitro and in vivo autor...
Impulsivity can be defined as the tendency to act prematurely without foresight. Behavioural and neurobiological analysis of this construct, based on evidence from both animal and human studi...
This presentation will include both preclinical and small clinical studies with details on mechanism of action, safety and efficacy of a candidate drug that has the capability of alleviating...
Recent advances in noninvasive neuroimaging have set the stage for the systematic exploration of human brain circuits in health and disease. The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is systematical...
The hippocampal formation is one of the most extensively studied regions of the brain, with well described anatomy and basic physiology; moreover, aspects of human memory mediated by hippocam...
The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative has the ambitious goal of elucidating how neuronal ensembles interactively encode higher brain processes....
The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), ventrolateral and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vlPFC, vmPFC) and their connections with the basal ganglia play a ce...
The dopamine-containing neurons of the midbrain have been implicated in a broad array of psychiatric disorders, ranging from schizophrenia to drug abuse and depression. However, studies seem...
As evidenced by the changes in the new Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory animals and the latest AVMA Panel on Euthanasia, it is clear that there is growing concern about the care and w...
In the context of an experimental project requiring surgical preparation of animals, training is not only required for technicians lacking a strong surgical background but also for more exper...
An anesthesia system designed to accommodate the physiological characteristics of small animals, including rats and mice, has the potential to provide great practical value to the life scienc...
The field of surgical research has been growing rapidly with the development of new surgical and disease models. An extremely important and often overlooked aspect of creating these models is...
It is the often-ignored simple tips in rodent surgery that make the difference and help minimize postoperative complications and mortality. The presenter will use his years of experience to...
Survival rates for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unacceptably low compared to other common solid tumors. This mortality reflects a weakness in conventional staging, as...
Human malignant glioma is a uniformly fatal disease, causing over 14,000 deaths in the US this year. Adults diagnosed with malignant brain tumors have a median survival of approximately 15 mo...
The unanimous Supreme Court ruling of 2013 regarding gene patents made competition for BRCA1 and BRCA2 testing a reality. Within hours of the decision multiple labs began offering more compre...
Vaginitis and vaginosis, including Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC), and Trichomoniasis (TV), are extremely common conditions, consuming many healthcare resources and...
The value of measuring lactate levels is expanding. Though generally considered a nonspecific biomarker, knowing lactate levels early in a patients presentation can provide valuable informat...
Obesity is a disease. It was once not considered to be a disease and to be a matter of will power and gluttony. It was also the case that we once thought that fat tissue had no metabolic func...
Early infantile rickets is the least appreciated form of this ancient disease of children. Although it is usually subclinical, the high prevalence recently reported at autopsy (87% < 1 yea...
Motor coordination relies on accurate predictions that specify how the body should move in particular sensorimotor contexts. Although such predictions are thought to be stored as associative...
The therapeutic utility of stem cells is rooted in an understanding -- and exploitation -- of their natural role from earliest development to lifes end. Their job is first to participate in o...
