Disease: is a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific signs or symptoms that is not simply a direct result of physical injury.
Advanced sequencing technologies have made population scale whole genome sequencing a possibility. However, current strategies for analysis of this data rely upon parallelization approaches t...
A well done RNA-Seq experiment can provide the most comprehensive, accurate and unbiased way to study gene expression, alternative splicing, RNA variation and RNA structure. The past few yea...
Every major scientific and technological revolution in history has been driven by one thing: access to data. Today, the availability of Big Data from a wide variety of sources is transforming...
A new affinity-based spin column procedure has been developed for highly specific isolation of exosomes and other extracellular vesicles (EVs) from serum or plasma, as well as for vesicular R...
Cancers exhibit abnormal molecular signatures associated with disease initiation and progression. Molecular signatures could improve cancer screening, detection, drug development and selectio...
The implementation of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology in the clinical laboratory has allowed for large-scale panel testing of many genes simultaneously at a reduced cost and turn-...

Behaviors are motivated by two emotional valences: Seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. The ability to select appropriate behavioral responses to environmental stimuli, such as avoiding a pred...
There is growing interest internationally in elucidating the clinical and biological profile of those at high genetic risk to bipolar disorder (BD) so as to enable the development of targeted...

Impulsivity can be defined as the tendency to act prematurely without foresight. Behavioural and neurobiological analysis of this construct, based on evidence from both animal and human studi...
Traditional psychiatric textbooks describe schizophrenia as a clinical enigma of unknown aetiology. However, this is no longer true. We now know a great deal about the risk factors, or contr...
This presentation will include both preclinical and small clinical studies with details on mechanism of action, safety and efficacy of a candidate drug that has the capability of alleviating...
Recent advances in noninvasive neuroimaging have set the stage for the systematic exploration of human brain circuits in health and disease. The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is systematical...
At the cellular and molecular levels of operation, neurons and their circuits achieve brain functions by chemical signals, in which the principle agents, neurotransmitters convey the signal f...
The hippocampal formation is one of the most extensively studied regions of the brain, with well described anatomy and basic physiology; moreover, aspects of human memory mediated by hippocam...
