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 after being impacted by sexualized violence, and that’s completely okay. When folks do want to report, it’s important that they know the full range of […]
Developing infrastructure and initiatives that promote open science and data sharing is an important part of advancing research. In line with this, Dr. Paul Pavlidis has secured a grant from the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute to gauge interest in and develop principles that would eventually see the DMCBH declared an Open Science Institute. This would […]
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 recent work looking at postnatal development, juvenile behaviours and autophagy in a mouse model of perinatal infection.

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 key spontaneous activity processes are the Default Mode Network (DMN), a set of areas that are most markedly connected and active during behavioural idleness, and […]
Ryan Tomm and Brandon Forys from Rebecca Todd's lab will be presenting findings from a collaborative project between researchers in the Mental Health and Addictions integrated research program: "Linking animal models and mood disorder symptoms through cortico-striatally regulated avoidance and reward-seeking behaviour" Online via Zoom: Meeting ID: 574 796 6049 Passcode: 052059
This event will be held virtually: Zoom link
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 specimens that are essential to make progress in understanding pathophysiology and developing effective treatments. Currently, most brain diseases are studied in living patients using neuroimaging […]
Dr. Edwards has offered to meet with researchers throughout the day on Feb 17 to discuss open science. If you are interested, please reach out to Paul Pavlidis (paul@msl.ubc.cs). Trainees are welcome to meet with Dr. Edwards after his talk from 2:30-3:30pm. Please note this event is scheduled to be in person. If you cannot […]
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, and social cognition. Given its uniform cytoarchitecture, it has long been hypothesized that the cerebellar circuit performs a common computation across all these functional domains. […]
Please note this event is postponed until 12:00pm due to flight delays. The brain encodes and processes information through the dynamic membrane voltage of neurons. However, in vivo electrophysiology, i.e., the study of the membrane voltage of individual cells in live animals, has been a major challenge for neuroscience. In this seminar, I will present […]
This month, the Mental Health and Addictions IRP will be having a round table where each group member introduces themselves, an overview of their research, and their hopes and dreams for future collaborative research.
