Dr. Cheryl Wellington: Fluid biomarkers in neurology: Clinical and translational studies

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

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. Jorn Diedrichsen: Exploring the role of the human cerebellum across functional domains

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. […]

He Tian candidate presentation

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

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 […]

Danqing Zhu candidate presentation

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

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 are based on adeno-associated viruses (AAV), a naturally derived protein-based and self-assembled ‘nanoparticle’. Although these natural ‘nanoparticles’ are safe and non-pathogenic, they present several barriers […]

Dr. Rutsuko Ito: Ventral hippocampal circuits and the arbitration of approach-avoidance conflict

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

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 and negative). Despite the prevailing view of hippocampal involvement in learning and memory processes, the hippocampus is also thought to be involved in the resolution […]

Tatsuya Tsukahara candidate presentation

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

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 environmental stimuli, and a fundamental feature of sensory systems. Previous studies have shown that the brain flexibly adapt sensory responses to repetitive stimuli through synaptic […]

Dr. Kate Wassum: Amygdala circuitry in reward learning and decision making

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

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 our lab’s recent work investigating the neural circuits responsible for encoding, updating, and retrieving reward memories for use in the considerations underlying decision making. We […]
