Microglia are the macrophages of the brain and participate to its development, homeostasis, and defense against pathogens and injuries. Notably, genetic evidence suggests that they are critically involved in neurodegenerative […]

We previously created a mouse model to permanently label neurons activated during learning, the ArcCreERT2 mice (Denny et al., 2014, Neuron). In our first publication, we extensively characterized the ArcCreERT2 […]

SVPRO is back for a second session! This session will focus on the different options that are available for reporting when sexualized violence has occurred. Not everyone wants to report […]

Our lab is interested in the neural bases for social function, and we use mouse models for diseases that have social deficits at their core. This talk will present our […]

Spontaneous activity accounts for most of what the brain does and is likely to be key for information processing in the brain, but its function is still quite mysterious. Two […]

Diseases of the brain are among the most challenging disorders to diagnose and treat. Unlike cancer, where human tissue biopsy specimens are routinely collected, brain disorders lack routine access to […]

The cerebellum has evolved to support basic sensory-motor functions. In the human brain, the cerebellar circuitry has dramatically expanded and contributes to virtually every cognitive function, including working memory, language, […]

Approach-avoidance (AA) conflict resolution is a form of decision making that is fundamentally important for survival and requires the effective evaluation of affective stimuli or events with mixed outcomes (positive […]

To make adaptive decisions we must cast ourselves into the future and consider the outcomes of our potential choices. This prospective consideration is informed by our memories. I will discuss […]

Speaking is a unique and defining human behavior.  Over the past decade, we have focused on deciphering the basic neural code that underlies our ability to speak fluently. During speech […]
