However, particularly in animal models of vision loss, little has been done to examine how vision loss leads […]

I will describe recent […]

However, how opposing, innate values of odors are represented and computed in the brain […]
Dr. Trevor Robbins from Cambridge University will be presenting: The neural basis of compulsive behavior: Implications for neuropsychiatry. Talk abstract: Impulsivity and compulsivity represent complementary cases of dysexecutive control, of considerable relevance to psychiatry. Whilst there has been intense focus on the dimensional construct of impulsivity, compulsivity has received far less attention. A working definition […]
Dr. Barbara Sahakian from Cambridge University will be presenting: Good Brain Health, Cognition and Wellbeing. Talk abstract: Many people consider their physical health and regularly exercise and wear devices to count their steps, and to take other physiological measures. However, to realise our potential throughout our life and to ensure a flourishing society, it is […]

Adult-born neurons transiently exhibit distinct cellular properties that distinguish them from the larger population of mature neurons, and these properties are […]

Welcome back for a new season of MH&A rounds! This month, Ryan Tomm from the Todd lab will present “Depressive and anxiety levels in a community sample: Examining the role of avoidance and reward-seeking behaviours.” Zoom link if unable to attend in person: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/5747966049?pwd=N1ppY2tUS3o4bk9vTkFSTzBna3k0Zz09 Meeting ID: 574 796 6049 Passcode: 052059

Whereas most animals only produce innate vocalizations, songbirds learn to sing in a process with many parallels to human speech learning. […]
