Lab Automation or laboratory automation is a multi-disciplinary strategy to research, develop, optimize and capitalize on technologies in the laboratory that enable new and improved processes. Laboratory automation professionals are academic, commercial and government researchers, scientists and engineers who conduct research and develop new technologies to increase productivity, elevate experimental data quality, reduce lab process cycle times, or enable experimentation that otherwise would be impossible.
Drug addiction is a chronically relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug use despite catastrophic personal consequences (e.g., loss of family, job) and even when the substance is n...
There is a growing appreciation of the relationship between gut microbiota, and the host in maintaining homeostasis in health and predisposing to disease. Bacterial colonisation of the gut pl...
Schizophrenia (Sz) is a major mental disorder that affects ~1% of the population. Although traditional models of Sz focused on dopaminergic dysfunction, newer models increasingly implic...
In this presentation, Arvid Carlsson, who was awarded the Nobel prize in 2000 for his discovery of the transmitter role of dopamine, will be interviewed by Elias Eriksson. The following aspec...
Impulse control disorders (ICDs), also known as behavioural addictions, are common in the general population and can have marked consequences. ICDs can also commonly occur with exposure...
This talk will provide an overview of Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) chemical imaging as a powerful and versatile method for obtaining information about CNS tissues. By combining imaging a...
Traditional models of basal ganglia disorders are grounded in the assumption that network dysfunction is driven by alterations in intrinsic excitability of striatal neurons. Recent work has c...

In the adult central nervous system (CNS) small populations of neurons are formed in the adult olfactory bulb and dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. In the adult hippocampus, newly born neuron...
We routinely face decisions requiring evaluation and choice of different actions may or may not yield different types of rewards. These situations trigger competitive decision biases that ref...
Optogenetics or optophysiology is a rapidly growing technique used across an ever broadening array of research fields. Investigators now genetically modify many signalling pathway elements to...

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...
