Surgeries broadly describe procedures used to investigate or treat a medical condition, such as a disease, injury, or bodily impediment. In general, surgeries aim to improve function or appearance or repair a damaged or infected area of the body. Examples of surgeries include angioplasty, joint replacements, cesarean section, organ transplantation, hysterectomy.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality in the United States and worldwide. Current treatments are largely ineffective: single agent and combin...
The management of prostate cancer (PCa) continues to evolve and does so at a rapid rate. Research and technological developments continue to refine our definitions and management of this comp...
We have been developing methods to target drugs specifically to pathologic cells, thereby avoiding collateral toxicity to healthy cells. In the case of cancer, we have exploited up-regulation...
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:1. Enhanced audience understanding regarding the controversy surrounding prostate cancer screening using the PSA blood test and use of the American Uro...
The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...

DARPA’s investments aim to leverage brain-function research to alleviate the burden of illness and injury and provide novel, neurotechnology-based capabilities for military personnel an...
The NIH BRAIN initiative, informed by the report from the scientific community (BRAIN 2025) is underway. The major funded efforts at this time fit into 3 main categories; 1) defining the comp...
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...
Since the discovery and maturing of in vitro techniques that characterized neurotransmitter receptor systems in animal and human brain and subsequent development of in vitro and in vivo autor...
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...
Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder affecting 1% of the world’s population, leading to high human, social and economic burdens. Understanding how the interaction of gene and...
The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative has the ambitious goal of elucidating how neuronal ensembles interactively encode higher brain processes....
The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), ventrolateral and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vlPFC, vmPFC) and their connections with the basal ganglia play a ce...
The dopamine-containing neurons of the midbrain have been implicated in a broad array of psychiatric disorders, ranging from schizophrenia to drug abuse and depression. However, studies seem...
As evidenced by the changes in the new Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory animals and the latest AVMA Panel on Euthanasia, it is clear that there is growing concern about the care and w...
The pre-operative assessment and post-operative is critical for successful surgical procedures which will in turn lead to high quality outcomes in research studies. The care of the animals go...
In the context of an experimental project requiring surgical preparation of animals, training is not only required for technicians lacking a strong surgical background but also for more exper...
