Learn from the latest webinars about newly released neuroscience research and advances in experimental techniques. Topics include research news in neuroscience, neurology, psychology, brain science and cognitive sciences.
Miniaturized microscopes in combination with genetically encoded calcium indicators now allow recordings of activity from hundreds of neurons simultaneously in freely moving animals. We are b...
We present here a framework to generate a realistic multiscale circuit model of the larval zebrafish brain – the multiscale virtual fish (MVF). The model will be based on algorithms in...
Neuroscience is experiencing an exciting era of integrating novel materials and tools to record neural activity made possible through significant advances in materials science, electrical en...
The ability of light sheet microscopy to interrogate organoids, whole brain, and systems in 3D enables the study of complex neurological pathways, vasculature and disease models in unique wa...
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) represents one of the major clinical breakthroughs in the age of translational neuroscience. In 1987, Benabid and colleagues demonstrated that high-frequency stim...
Neuropore Therapies is discovering and developing novel small molecule disease-modifying therapeutics to treat patients with neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease a...
Normal behavior in any moving animal, including humans, relies on communication between motor systems that control movements, and the sensory systems we use to guide these actions. A critica...
The misfolding of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) such as tau and α-synuclein (αSyn) has been associated with the on-set and progression of Alzheimer’s (AD) and Pa...
Psychiatric diagnosis is inherently difficult, due to the lack of clear biomarkers or any other objective assessment. Although quantitative, the psychometric scales employed during the psychi...
Technological advances such as single-cell RNA sequencing accelerated our understanding of cellular diversity in tissues. However, the ability to elucidate this cellular heterogeneity while...
The idea of schizophrenia typically conjures up images of people who hear voices, see visions and have delusional beliefs. However, clinicians have long recognized cognitive dysfunction as on...
Mechanistic understanding of neural systems is daunting to achieve in large part due to the heterogeneity of the neuronal elements in both form and function and the complexity of the circuit...
Early phase clinical trials investigating novel applications of neural devices, such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices, pose ethical challenge during the recruitment of human subjects...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex group of individually rare neurological conditions with genetic and non-genetic causes. Despite the strong genetic component of ASD, it has been ve...
Misfolded and accumulated neurodegenerative disease associated proteins (NDAPs, such as tau and alpha-synuclein) represent the major pathological hallmark in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson&...
Recent technological advancements in neuroprosthetics allow for wireless recording and stimulation of brain activity in freely moving human participants. At the same time, advancements in vi...
Our decisions are governed by a balance between prospective instrumental goal-oriented and retrospective habitual learning strategies. This arbitration is relevant dimensionally across psychi...
Batten disease or the Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCLss) are each the result of inherited mutations that result in lysosomal dysfunction. Some of these disorders are due to deficiencies i...
What motivates patients to participate in clinical trials? Discussions most often revolve around potential study participants’ perception of therapeutic benefit. Misconceptions about th...
In 1910, Harrison published the first report of frog embryonic sympathetic ganglia grown in hanging drops of lymph for a few days, where single neurons extended nerve fibers with complex gro...
Monitoring protein biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) has been highly beneficial to understanding disease progression. While several...
Specialized aggregations of extracellular matrix called perineuronal nets (PNNs) appear during juvenile stages of development and surround primarily fast-spiking, parvalbumin (PV)-containing...
Studying the genetics of rare congenital disorders disrupting cognitive function has led to the identification of multiple disease genes that helped us better understand the mechanisms underl...
Complex animal behavior is produced by dynamic interactions between discrete regions of the brain. As such, defining functional connections between brain regions is critical in gaining a full...
The immune system is linked to an increasing number of medical diseases, including lately also severe mental disorders. Hence, infections, autoimmunity and other immune responses could be inv...
