Jie Shen Ph.D., Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School The major research interests of the Shen laboratory focus on elucidation of the pathogenic mechanisms of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Specifically, a multidisciplinary approach is employed to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying pathologic degeneration of specific neuronal populations. 1) Xia et al. Presenilin-1 knockin mice reveal loss-of-function mechanism for familial Alzheimer’s disease. Neuron...

Frank Polleux, Ph.D., Columbia University neuroscience professor, will present evidence characterizing the function of mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and ER-mitochondria contact in dendrites and axons of cortical pyramidal neurons. This will include characterization of mitochondria function regulating presynaptic neurotransmitter release through their ability to uptake Ca2+, Pdzd8-dependent ER-mitochondria contacts regulating synaptically-evoked dendritic Ca2+ dynamics and in vivo...

The sensory cortex represents a powerful model for studying the function and plasticity of cortical circuits. Inhibitory circuits exhibit robust experience-dependent plasticity with mechanisms and functional roles that remain incompletely understood. Dan Feldman, Ph.D., and his team have focused on ParValbumin (PV) interneuron circuits. In the whisker somatosensory cortex (S1), PV circuits are weakened by whisker deprivation, altering Excitation-Inhibition (E-I) ratio in a manner that...
