Brian Uzzi presents two studies on innovation in science. Study one examines conditions favoring the generation of innovative, high impact ideas and study two examines the conditions that ef...
The rapid growth of technologies capable of comprehensively collecting, managing, and allowing us to gain an in-depth picture of the brain, nervous system, and behavior across diverse spatia...
Learning Objectives: 1. Describe language disturbances in schizophrenia and its risk states. 2. Describe face expression disturbances in schizophrenia and its risk states. 3. Describe ethica...
The nervous system of social species has evolved to perceive and evaluate signals within a social context. Social information therefore must impact how the brain processes information, yet l...
Join us for a thought-provoking webinar titled, "Breaking Barriers in STI Clinical Management: Addressing Resistance Challenges and Incorporating New Diagnostic Approaches," featur...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) belongs the group of synucleinopathies characterized by progressive aggregation of the neuronal protein alpha-synuclein (asyn). Diagnosis and evidence of disea...
Learning Objectives: 1. Review the basic principle of 3D microscopy. 2. Recognize the pathophysiology of Parkinson disease. 3. Demonstrate knowledge on how alpha-synuclein aggregates spread...
The advancement in ultra-sensitive immunoassays and highly specific immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry (IPMS) methods, complimented by an increasing number of well-characterised research...
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...
Transdisciplinary knowledge producing teams (TDKPTs) dedicate their efforts to solving wicked problems. Successful TDKPTs embody characteristics of complex adaptive systems (CAS) and exempli...
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...
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...
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...
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...
The study of psychopathology is changing with the advent and pervasive use of smartphones, wearables, and connected devices together with significant advances in brain imaging. These new ave...
We are developing the three-banded panther worm Hofstenia miamia as a new model system for neuroscience. Hofstenia is a rare, lab-tractable member of a lineage of early-branching marine inve...
This talk will present the methodology of using the guided ultrasonic waves generated by the rodent to track its physiology, behavior, and psychological state. When behaving in an environmen...
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...
Our ability to record large-scale neural and behavioral data has substantially improved in the last decade. However, the inference of quantitative dynamical models for cognition and motor co...
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...
Many behaviors are learned through trial and error by matching performance to internal goals, yet neural mechanisms of performance evaluation remain poorly understood. We recorded basal gang...
Speech neuroprostheses have the potential to restore communication to people living with paralysis, but naturalistic speed and expressivity are elusive. Here we use high-density surface reco...
Mental health is a multidimensional challenge, marked by rapid brain changes and essential interpersonal relationships. This complicates the application of traditional statistical methods an...
DBS for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) achieves clinical benefit in 66% of treatment-resistant patients. However, there is still a lack of a fundamental understanding of the neurophysio...
Brain organoids are self-assembled three-dimensional cellular aggregates with cell types and tissue architectures that resemble the embryonic human brain. As they recapitulate many key featu...
Recent advances in gene editing has allowed the generation of advanced rodent research models, mimicking some aspects of human conditions. For neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer&r...
