Previous research in humans has shown that on-going visually-guided actions can be altered at latencies […]
This month, Dr. Tamara Vanderwal from the Department of Psychiatry, will present “The dark arts of naturalistic neuroscience: Using movie-fMRI to study functional brain organization in child psychiatric disorders.” Zoom link if unable to attend in person: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/5747966049?pwd=N1ppY2tUS3o4bk9vTkFSTzBna3k0Zz09 Meeting ID: 574 796 6049 Passcode: 052059
Our research focuses on the intricate role of specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. A key aspect of our focus is unraveling the sex-specific regulation of GPCR signaling in these conditions. Through exploring these intricacies, we aim to illuminate novel therapeutic avenues and enhance our understanding of the complex interplay […]
Summary: In this talk, Dr. Hildebrand will highlight his recent work aimed at bridging the translational divide between rodent preclinical work on spinal pain processing and new treatment approaches for humans. His team has developed new human spinal cord tissue models of pain signaling that parallel rodent in vivo and ex vivo pain models. Using […]
