Social Behavior: are interactions among individuals. There are researchers in many fields -- including animal behavior, anthropology, psychology, and sociology -- study social behavior.
Developing new diagnostic and therapeutic tools for brain disorders is an ethical imperative and conducting human research with neural devices is a key step towards achieving that goal. Condu...

The complexity of the human brain, with thousands of neuronal types, permits the development of sophisticated behavioral repertoires, such as language, tool use, self-awareness, symbolic thou...
This presentation will review the scope and history of the chronic pain and opioid epidemic in the US. It will then discuss how chronic pain and opioid use is being dealt with in commun...
Cannabidiol (CBD) has emerged as a promising anti-epileptic drug in otherwise treatment-resistant genetic epileptic disorders. However, the clinical trials have been limited by their use of C...
Most neuropsychiatric diseases involve multifactorial systems characterized by complex interactions among genetic predisposition/resiliency, environmental/social determinants, molecular seque...
The cerebellum is incorporated into the distributed neural circuits subserving motor control, cognitive processing and the modulation of emotion. This lecture provides an overview of anatomic...
The translation gap in biomedical research can be attributed in part to differences in how outcomes are assessed in preclinical research and in the clinic. Reasons for these mismatches includ...
There is a growing debate about the usefulness of animal studies in biomedical research and drug development. Some of the challenges in translation from animals to human patients may be from...
The ability to rapidly and accurately identify pain in mice is critical for providing them optimal care and welfare. To meet this need, we developed and validated the Grooming Transfer Test (...
