Learn from the latest webinars about newly released neuroscience research and advances in experimental techniques. Topics include research news in neuroscience, neurology, psychology, brain science and cognitive sciences.
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...
To make movement and foraging decisions in a naturalistic environment, multiple neural populations must work synergistically to produce successful actions. These decisions span multiple scal...
Virginia will discuss work on single-trial analysis of EEG signals during episodic memory tasks. They develop single-trial classifiers to predict whether people will remember pictures from E...
Individuals with substance use disorders often show impaired sensitivity to reward value. However, it is not clear whether such impairment impacts reward-related decision making and whether...
Studying motor behaviors can reveal fundamental principles of the brain and mind. This presentation focuses on our work towards developing the hardware and computational tools that will allo...
With the internet, society has been exposed to puzzling and exquisite animal behavior, while neuroscience has vastly concentrated on a few inbred animal models studied in trained unnatural s...
A core goal of neuroscience is to understand how the brain adaptively orchestrates movements to execute complex behaviors. Quantifying behavioral dynamics, however, has historically been pro...
Many nonhuman primate species show sex differences in behavior, which suggests that there may also be sex differences in brain organization. In order to better understand the evolution of se...
How do the cognitive and physiological traits of individuals translate into real-world group dynamics? There is an empirical and theoretical gap between understanding individual-level proces...
Social animals congregate in groups and communicate with vocalizations. To study the dynamics of natural vocal communication and their neural basis, one must characterize signals used for co...
Transdisciplinary knowledge producing teams (TDKPTs) dedicate their efforts to solving wicked problems. Successful TDKPTs embody characteristics of complex adaptive systems (CAS) and exempli...
Tissue microarray combines tens to hundreds paraffin-embedded specimens into a single paraffin block. It is a practical and highly effective tool for high-throughput analyses including valid...
As the opioid epidemic continues to claim lives and devastate families across the nation and world, we recognize September 21, 2023 as opioid awareness day. Opioids are analgesics with high...
Spatialomics leverages multiplex imaging to achieve translational profiling of tissue specimens by assessing the relative spatial orientations of biological structures with RNA and protein e...
Stem cells have the capability to develop into any specialized cell type, which makes them a valuable resource in research and regenerative medicine. Differentiated stem cell models provide...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene that reduce survival motor neuron (SMN) protein expression. Despite progress in the...
Date: April 11, 2023 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT), 5:00pm (CEST) Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the dystrophin encoding DMD gene that disrupt the reading frame. M...
Date: April 04, 2023 Time: 10:00pm (PDT), Date: April 05, 2023 Time: 2:00am (EDT), 7:00am (CEST), 1:00pm (SGT) This seminar provides an overview of fluorescence microscopy in cancer research...
Spatial mapping of pain-associated G-Protein coupled receptors and bio-marker localization in mouse brain using RNAscope HiPlex v2 and RNA-Protein Co-Detection Assays....
Deep–Brain Stimulation (DBS) has become an effective means of treating a variety of neurological conditions. Most DBS systems work are "open-loop," and apply constant stimula...
Artificial neural networks can be useful for studying brain functions. In cognitive neuroscience, recurrent neural networks are often used to model cognitive functions. I will first offer my...
In this talk, we will discuss the nuts and bolts of the novel continuous-time neural network models: Liquid Time-Constant Networks (LTCs). Liquid neural networks are nonlinear state-space mo...
Animal models present a unique opportunity to understand molecular mechanisms of pathological changes involved in cognitive dysfunction in neurological disorders. However, most of the work f...
Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) are a prevalent health issue in North America. There is increasing pressure to utilize ecologically valid models of closed-head mTBI in the preclinical...
Neural networks are a powerful tool for modeling neural activity in the brain. In this talk, I will discuss how these models have helped in my own research and highlight recent work building...
Disability activists have sometimes claimed their disability has actually increased their well-being. Some even say they would reject a cure to keep these gains. Yet, these same activists of...
Children efficiently develop their visual systems through learning from their environment. How this development unfolds in noisy real-world data streams remains largely unknown. Deep neural...
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...
