Adam G Carter, PhD
Associate Professor
Center for Neural Science
New York University
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) controls a variety of cognitive and emotional behaviors and is disrupted is many neuropsychiatric disorders. I will talk about recent findings from my lab on the organization and functional properties of neurons and synapses in the mouse PFC. I will begin with a brief overview of the projection neurons and long-range afferents that link the PFC with other brain regions. I will...

Associate Director, Center for Integrative Brain Research, Seattle Children’s Research Institute
Developmental disruptions of the cerebellum are a significant cause of human neurodevelopmental disorders, including Autism and Medulloblastoma. Mouse studies have been valuable to understand their pathogenesis. However, our recent large-scale genetic analysis of human cerebellar structural birth defects...

Mel B. Feany, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Pathology, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital
The longstanding goal of the research in the Feany laboratory has been to understand the molecular and biochemical pathways leading to neuronal dysfunction and death in neurodegenerative disorders, with a focus on -synucleinopathies, tauopathies and related age-dependent diseases. We have thus created models relevant to Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and related neurological...
