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.
The intrinsic activity of the brain is organized into networks and motifs that vary over time. To understand how coordinated macroscale patterns of intrinsic activity flow across the brain&r...
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...
The dopamine D4 receptor (D4R) is enriched in the prefrontal cortex where it plays important roles in cognition, attention, decision making and executive function. Novel D4R-selective ligand...
Complex behaviors are often driven by an internal model, which integrates sensory information over time and facilitates long-term planning to reach subjective goals. {\color{rev}A fundamenta...
Targeted stimulation of the brain has the potential to treat mental illnesses but designing an appropriate protocol requires a multitude of choices. I will describe an approach to help desig...
The NIH BRAIN Initiative aims to develop new tools and neurotechnologies to transform our understanding of brain function in health and disease. That knowledge is critical to enable novel the...
Recent advances in machine learning have shown that deep neural networks (DNNs) can provide powerful and flexible models of neural sensory processing. In the auditory system, standard linear...
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...
Cortical circuits often receive multiple inputs from upstream populations with non-overlapping stimulus tuning. Both the feedforward and recurrent architectures of the receiving cortical lay...
This session provides an introduction to the MiSeq i100 Series, the simplest, fastest benchtop sequencer. Giving a brief overview of the revolutionary technology that's been built into the n...
One role of theory is in guiding future experiments: What should we aim to measure? Which experimental results should we be surprised about? I will argue here that simple random networks mod...
Deep–Brain Stimulation (DBS) has become an effective means of treating a variety of neurological conditions. Most DBS systems work are "open-loop," and apply constant stimula...
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...
Children efficiently develop their visual systems through learning from their environment. How this development unfolds in noisy real-world data streams remains largely unknown. Deep neural...
Animal models present a unique opportunity to understand molecular mechanisms of pathological changes involved in cognitive dysfunction in neurological disorders. However, most of the work f...
This talk provides a brief overview of funding opportunities for invasive device development for translation to clinical populations supported by the NIH BRAIN Initiative....
Multiscale modeling has arisen as a focus of computational systems biology, with the realization that genome, proteome, connectome, etceteromes, will only become comprehensible once placed i...
Selective vulnerability of brain regions and specific neural populations in neurodegeneration remains little understood. We hypothesize that pre-existing physiological differences in neurons...
Understanding how populations of neurons work together to represent stimuli, build percepts, and generate complex behaviors, is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. To establish a link b...
The BRAIN Initiative has enabled the development of novel neural recording tools that can benefit many labs, but are difficult to transition to industry for a variety of reasons. Here we ass...
Explainable AI (XAI) aims at helping you understand and interpret predictions made by AI techniques and tools. Recently, there has been a growing interest in XAI as many users want explanati...
Some of the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are loss of orientation, wandering and misplacing items. One of the first regions vulnerable to AD pathology is the entorhinal...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene that reduce survival motor neuron (SMN) protein expression. Despite progress in the...
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...
