    Stress-Induced Acetylcholine Signaling in Affective Behaviors: Too Much of a Good Thing?

    Register for Stress-Induced Acetylcholine Signaling in Affective Behaviors: Too Much of a Good Thing? by selecting the attached link. Acetylcholine (ACh) transmission is critical for cognition and attention, but is also released in response to stress. Importantly, ACh levels are dysregulated in the brains of human depressed subjects. Using the example of ACh signaling in stress-relevant be

    Seeing Into the Synapse: Exploring a Nanoscale World

    Register now for Seeing Into the Synapse: Exploring a Nanoscale World by selecting the attached link. Communication in all neural circuits is controlled by a remarkably similar, highly specialized site of cell-cell contact known as a synapse. The human brain contains trillions of these structures. Many open questions remain regarding how synapses are formed and lost, their nanoscale organ

    Meet the Expert: Astrocytes in Higher Brain Function

    REGISTER NOW!   Astrocytes were hardly studied in the past in the context of higher brain function, and if they were it was as disruptors of it. In recent years there is a growing interest in how astrocytes are involved in memory, and I will talk about how they are involved in recent and remote memory with activity- and projection- specificity. I will then present a new role of astrocyte

    Boxing Day

    Boxing Day is held every December 26th in many countries associated with the British empire. It started as a day to give gifts to the household staff of Britain’s upper classes but has morphed into a sort of shopping holiday of its own. In fact, its one of the most popular days to return Christmas gifts to the stores.
