@ Jaewon Ko, Ph.D.Professor, Department of Brain SciencesDaegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST)Daegu, South Korea Modulation of neural circuit organization by synaptic suppressors Synapses are fundamental information units of the brain that function by establishing and regulating innumerable overlapping and interdigitating neural circuits between neurons. Synaptic cell-adhesion molecules (CAMs) are central synapse organizers […]

@ Tobias Teichert, Ph.D.Associate Professor of Psychiatry and BioengineeringUniversity of Pittsburgh A mesoscopic electrophysiology platform for the monkey to measure brain function and connectivity in the ketamine model of schizophrenia Key aspects of brain function can only be understood by recording from the entire brain in parallel, rather than parts of it in sequence. While […]

@ Krystel Huxlin, Ph.D.James V. Aquavella Professor of OphthalmologyUniversity of Rochester Vision Restoration after Occipital Stroke: Challenging the Limits of Adult Plasticity In humans, occipital strokes invariably damage the primary visual cortex (V1), causing a loss of conscious vision over large regions of the visual field, referred to as cortically induced blindness (CB). This unfortunate […]

@ Kei M. Igarashi, Ph.DChancellor’s Fellow & Associate ProfessorDepartment of Anatomy and Neurobiology, School of MedicineUniversity of California, Irvine Circuit mechanisms of associative memory and its disruption in Alzheimer’s disease Memory has multiple components: “what” memory (item/object), “when” memory (time) and “where” memory (space). Research in the past decades revealed neurons involved in spatial memory, […]

@ Mark Churchland, Ph.D.Associate Professor, Dept. of NeuroscienceColumbia University in the City of New York From spikes to factors: understanding large-scale neural computations It is widely accepted that human cognition is the product of spiking neurons. Yet even for basic cognitive functions, such as the ability to make decisions or prepare and execute a voluntary […]
