Sidney Strickland, PhD, Zachary and Elizabeth M. Fisher Professor, The Rockefeller University
Abstract:
The fundamental pathology in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is neuronal dysfunction leading to cognitive impairment. The amyloid-beta peptide (A), derived from amyloid precursor protein, is one driver of AD, but how it leads to neuronal dysfunction is not established. In this talk, I will discuss the complexity of AD and possible cause-and-effect relationships between A and the vascular and...

Abstract:
Homeostatic plasticity and Hebbian plasticity are two major forms of activity-dependent plasticity that provide neural circuits the ability to modify its function in the face of an ever-changing environment. In this talk, I will discuss some of our recent efforts in investigating the functional interplays between Hebbian and homeostatic synaptic plasticity in vivo. I will focus in particular on how hippocampal...

Bennett Novitch, Ph.D.Professor and Ethel Scheibel Chair in NeuroscienceDepartment of NeurobiologyBroad Stem Cell Research CenterDavid Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA Abstract:
The remarkable information processing capacity of the human brain is thought to derive from its enormous mass, cellular density, and structural complexity. Defects in brain growth and organization result in a host of neurodevelopmental disorders, neuropsychiatric diseases, and intellectual disabilities. A key step...
