Learn from the latest webinars about newly released neuroscience research and advances in experimental techniques. Topics include research news in neuroscience, neurology, psychology, brain science and cognitive sciences.
Fluorescent dyes are molecules that are widely used in fundamental research, industrial R&D and manufacturing, medicine, and other industries. To successfully implement all advantages of...
Brain machine interfaces or neural prosthetics have the potential to restore movement to people with paralysis or amputation, bridging gaps in the nervous system with an artificial device. M...
Neurotechnology promises a way to repair the damaged nervous system that requires a merger of neuroscience, engineering and clinical knowledge. Brain Computer Interfaces can now read out the...
General anesthesia is a drug-induced, reversible condition comprised of five behavioral states: unconsciousness, amnesia (loss of memory), analgesia (loss of pain sensation), akinesia (immobi...
Localizing and identifying neuronal patterns that generate pathological brain signals may assist with tissue resection and intervention strategies in patients with neurological and psychiatri...
Clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME) at pre-synaptic terminals is functionally coupled to neuro-transmitter release. Like other cytosolic proteins, clathrin is synthesized in cell-bodies and c...
Plasticity in the brain is very extensive due to the brain’s parallel architecture and synaptic reorganization capabilities. Because neuronal populations are typically in stable low e...
Major depression (MDD) is a common psychiatric condition and a leading cause of disability worldwide. While psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are effective treatments for the majority of peo...
Developing new diagnostic and therapeutic tools for brain disorders is an ethical imperative and conducting human research with neural devices is a key step towards achieving that goal. Condu...
Learning is often an emotional process. Emotional stimuli with different valences, such as threat and reward, can transform an otherwise neutral sensory input into one that can trigger disti...
Systems neuroscience offers new and powerful conceptual frameworks for testing the fundamental brain mechanisms that support behavior. More recently, modern neurotechnologies with translation...
How does a low-level sensory representation rise into conscious awareness? What determines whether higher-order cortical areas have access to the representational content in sensory regions?...
Determining the copy number of SMN1 and SMN2 genes is notoriously difficult due to the high level of homology between the two genes. These genes, that are associated with spinal muscular atro...
Humans have a remarkable ability to flexibly interact with the environment. A compelling demonstration of this cognitive flexibility is our ability to perform complex, yet previously un-pract...
Spatial mapping of pain-associated G-Protein coupled receptors and bio-marker localization in mouse brain using RNAscope HiPlex v2 and RNA-Protein Co-Detection Assays....
In this talk, we will discuss the nuts and bolts of the novel continuous-time neural network models: Liquid Time-Constant Networks (LTCs). Liquid neural networks are nonlinear state-space mo...
The rapid formation of new memories and the recall of old memories to inform decisions is essential for human cognition, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. We util...
Complex behaviors are often driven by an internal model, which integrates sensory information over time and facilitates long-term planning to reach subjective goals. {\color{rev}A fundamenta...
Neuroscience is experiencing an exciting era of integrating novel materials and tools to record neural activity made possible through significant advances in materials science, electrical en...
The dopamine D4 receptor (D4R) is enriched in the prefrontal cortex where it plays important roles in cognition, attention, decision making and executive function. Novel D4R-selective ligand...
Targeted stimulation of the brain has the potential to treat mental illnesses but designing an appropriate protocol requires a multitude of choices. I will describe an approach to help desig...
The NIH BRAIN Initiative aims to develop new tools and neurotechnologies to transform our understanding of brain function in health and disease. That knowledge is critical to enable novel the...
