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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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., […]
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 […]
Forum at which faculty from the BC Neuroscience community present topics along with an invited professor/Keynote speaker.
Gene therapy, the delivery of genetic material to the cells of a patient for therapeutic benefit, has been increasingly successful over the past decade. The most successful gene delivery vectors […]
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 interpret the sensory world and select appropriate actions, animals must distinguish persistent background stimuli from novel sensory cues. Sensory adaptation is a neural mechanism that enables such filtering of […]
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 […]
Are you interested in science communication as a career but aren’t sure how to make it happen? Join the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health and the Women’s Health Research […]
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 […]
The Neuroscience Research Colloquium (NRC), is a series of lectures featuring local and international neuroscientists.
