Social cognition refers to the ways that people process, remember, and then use information within a social context to explain (or predict) their own behavior, or the behavior of others.
Treatment-resistant depression is an immense source of disability and suffering, and represents a major unmet clinical need for innovative and effective therapies. Deep brain stimulation tri...
Learning Objectives: 1. Delineate the goals of studies of brain, computation and behavior and how they can be integrated. 2. Describe how neuromodulators such as oxytocin transform circuits...
As pharmaceutical companies have reduced or eliminated neuroscience drug development due to high costs and low approval rates, the economic and healthcare burden of CNS disorders in the Unit...
Biomedical research suffers from a translation gap, where most treatments that seem effective when tested on animals turn out not to work in human patients. This is likely due in large part...
Animal welfare is the most important issue in any in vivo laboratory. The ability to detect and intervene in cases where the conditions of animals may be deteriorating as well as the ability...
DATE: August 15, 2019TIME: 9:00am PDT, 12:00pm EDT Radiation therapy is a critical tool for the treatment of brain tumors, however, exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation...
An actual way of understanding complex systems in psychology and psychiatry is by building mathematical models on the functioning of mental, behavioral, or neural systems (computational syste...
The contemporary understanding of psychiatric disorders typically consists of a vast but often poorly interrelated set of facts and hypotheses that fail to coalesce into an integrated whole....
The size and burden of mental illness should ideally prompt a strategy of preemption and early intervention. On the neuroscientific side, this leads to the question of brain mechanisms of ris...

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...
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...
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the Methyl CpG Binding Protein 2 (MECP2) gene. In mouse models of RTT, deficits in long-term potentiation (LTP) at...
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...
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...
