Isothermal amplification methods streamline nucleic acid amplification without the need for thermal cycling. Join us to explore two innovative techniques, Recombinase Polymerase Amplificatio...
Fluorescence microscopy offers robust, multi-parametric and scalable analysis of cell level activity in heterogenous populations with spatial and temporal resolution, often critical for effe...
The cellular physiology of microbes can vary significantly within a population, even when exposed to identical external conditions. Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown tha...
Neural organoids derived from patient-specific iPSC lines can help open doors toward studying human brain development, physiology, and disease progression. The increased cell-cell interacti...
Precise protein quantification is a crucial step in workflows involving protein extraction, isolation, and analysis. Accurate knowledge of the concentration of your protein sample is essenti...
The rapid growth of technologies capable of comprehensively collecting, managing, and allowing us to gain an in-depth picture of the brain, nervous system, and behavior across diverse spatia...
Learning Objectives: 1. Describe language disturbances in schizophrenia and its risk states. 2. Describe face expression disturbances in schizophrenia and its risk states. 3. Describe ethica...
The nervous system of social species has evolved to perceive and evaluate signals within a social context. Social information therefore must impact how the brain processes information, yet l...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) belongs the group of synucleinopathies characterized by progressive aggregation of the neuronal protein alpha-synuclein (asyn). Diagnosis and evidence of disea...
Learning Objectives: 1. Review the basic principle of 3D microscopy. 2. Recognize the pathophysiology of Parkinson disease. 3. Demonstrate knowledge on how alpha-synuclein aggregates spread...
A central goal for neuroscience is to understand how our brains process information in real life, such as faces during natural social interactions. While we have gained important knowledge u...
Protein misfolding and aggregation are key features observed in numerous neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The oligomers formed during the ag...
Brain organoids are self-assembled three-dimensional cellular aggregates with cell types and tissue architectures that resemble the embryonic human brain. As they recapitulate many key featu...
DBS for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) achieves clinical benefit in 66% of treatment-resistant patients. However, there is still a lack of a fundamental understanding of the neurophysio...
Drug discovery programs require a robust panel of models and assays to identify and validate drug targets, support compound optimisation, and run mechanistic studies. Fully human in vitro mo...
This talk will present the methodology of using the guided ultrasonic waves generated by the rodent to track its physiology, behavior, and psychological state. When behaving in an environmen...
We are developing the three-banded panther worm Hofstenia miamia as a new model system for neuroscience. Hofstenia is a rare, lab-tractable member of a lineage of early-branching marine inve...
The study of psychopathology is changing with the advent and pervasive use of smartphones, wearables, and connected devices together with significant advances in brain imaging. These new ave...
Social interactions are essential for the survival of social animals. Across species the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been identified as a hub of social cognition. In mouse models we...
The ability to record every spike from every neuron in a behaving animal is one of the holy grails of neuroscience. Here, Alison Hanson discusses a collaborative effort aimed at coming one s...
Behaving animals continually reconcile the internal states of their neural circuits brain-wide with incoming sensory and environmental evidence to evaluate when and how to act. The brains of...
Many behaviors are learned through trial and error by matching performance to internal goals, yet neural mechanisms of performance evaluation remain poorly understood. We recorded basal gang...
Infant motor development is measured clinically using short, subjective, observational scales. While these scales are useful, they have limitations. They provide us with a “snapshot&rd...
Speech neuroprostheses have the potential to restore communication to people living with paralysis, but naturalistic speed and expressivity are elusive. Here we use high-density surface reco...
Mental health is a multidimensional challenge, marked by rapid brain changes and essential interpersonal relationships. This complicates the application of traditional statistical methods an...
The ultimate goal of neuroscience is to understand and explain real-world behavior in terms of brain activity, and to use these insights to develop therapeutic approaches for neural disorder...
Vestibular sensation anchors our perception of the environment and is crucial for maintaining balance during locomotion. Vertebrate animals use the evolutionarily conserved vestibular system...
