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.
Date: September 29, 2022 Time: 7:00am (PDT), 10:00am (EDT), 4:00pm (CEST) Development and evolution are controlled, to a large degree, by regions of genomic DNA called enhancers that encode...
In this webinar, we will discuss the technique of critical point drying for the preparation of biological and materials science samples for electron microscopy. As hydrated samples cannot ge...
Date: September 21, 2022 Time: 10:00am (PDT), 1:00pm (EDT), 7:00pm (CEST) This talk aims to describe a popular workflow that profiles specific brain cell types in healthy and diseased post-m...
Translational research strives to identify, verify, and validate biomarker candidates that can be used in clinical settings to collectively stratify biology. With the recent introduction of...
NanoString has started an ambitious project called the "Spatial Organ Atlas." The goal of this initiative is to map the architecture of tissues with spatially resolved whole transc...
Date: June 22, 2022 Time: 11:00am (PDT), 2:00pm (EDT), 8:00pm (CEST) ChipCytometry™ is a technique for collecting and analyzing highly multiplexed spatial cytometry data that has been...
Stimulation of human visual cortex is known to elicit visual perceptions that could potentially be used for restoring artificial vision to individuals who have lost their vision due to non-co...
The locomotion of humans and other animals requires a seamless flow of information from sensory modalities all the way to the motor periphery. As such, locomotion is an excellent system for...
The cerebellum is incorporated into the distributed neural circuits subserving motor control, cognitive processing and the modulation of emotion. This lecture provides an overview of anatomic...
Deciphering somatic mosaicism in healthy tissues and clonal diversity in tumors necessitates single-cell analysis. High-quality genomic and transcriptomic data at the single-cell level depen...
As we experience our environments, our brains are constantly computing inferences about the most likely state of the world: Are those lights in the distance headlights or streetlights? ...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopamine and the disruption of brain circuits (basal ganglia and cortex) that are responsible for normal cognitive and motor per...
Patients with implanted neural devices offer researchers unique opportunities to study the basic workings of the human brain. This is made possible by patients undergoing epilepsy monitoring...
The human brain has a remarkable ability to store and retrieve information. Detailed memories can be formed after as little as one exposure, and those memories can be retained for decades. Im...
In consciousness studies, a longstanding controversy concerns whether activity in the prefrontal cortical (PFC) region of the brain is necessary to evoke conscious experiences. Similarly, the...
While our lives unfold over time, weaving dynamic information into continuous experience, our memories are organized as discrete events. Detection of cognitive boundaries is critical for seg...
Alterations in homeostatic functions such as energy balance and sleep patterns are frequently seen in the elderly and these changes may precede and predict subsequent cognitive decline. ...
Brain function is remarkably reliable despite the imprecise performance of neurons, and the continuous perturbations caused by aging, disease or injury. How does the brain succeed in produci...
The accumulation of neurotoxic amyloid beta peptides and/or neurofibrillary tangle formation are key pathological hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases including but not limited to Alzheim...
The implications of NIH BRAIN research stretch beyond traditional medical and research contexts. This LabRoots session will present recent developments at the intersection of neuroscience and...
98% of small molecules and 100% of large molecules do not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Biologics, including therapeutic antibodies (e.g. anti-amyloid antibodies), have been at the for...
Biomedical research depends on the use of model systems to explore basic biology, probe disease mechanisms, and conduct drug discovery and development. However, results from such systems are...
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder exhibiting both motor and behavioral impairment. Like most neuropsychiatric disorders, its pathophysiology has yet to be...
Neurological disorders present a worldwide multi-factorial burden. They affect as many as one billion people globally - and that number is predicted to increase in the next decades. The wide-...
Some of the most significant hurdles faced by neuroscientists in the field of neurodegenerative disease research when seeking to acquire genetic information include sample accessibility, repr...
