Learn about the latest medical breakthroughs by participating in webinars on topics surrounding disease, prevention and treatment in accordance with the latest research in health and medicine. Updates encompass a biological, psychological and sociological understanding of health.
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 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...
Protein misfolding and aggregation are key features observed in numerous neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The oligomers formed during the ag...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Transdisciplinary knowledge producing teams (TDKPTs) dedicate their efforts to solving wicked problems. Successful TDKPTs embody characteristics of complex adaptive systems (CAS) and exempli...
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...
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...
The ultimate goal of neuroscience is to understand and explain real-world behavior in terms of brain activity, and to use these insights to develop therapeutic approaches for neural disorder...
Vestibular sensation anchors our perception of the environment and is crucial for maintaining balance during locomotion. Vertebrate animals use the evolutionarily conserved vestibular system...
Robots are useful tools for studying the nervous system and its control of body mechanics because they can be used to perform experiments that would be difficult to perform with an animal. F...
Social interactions are essential for the survival of social animals. Across species the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been identified as a hub of social cognition. In mouse models we...
Infant motor development is measured clinically using short, subjective, observational scales. While these scales are useful, they have limitations. They provide us with a “snapshot&rd...
Drug discovery programs require a robust panel of models and assays to identify and validate drug targets, support compound optimisation, and run mechanistic studies. Fully human in vitro mo...
