SUMMARY:BHI Plenary Seminar: David Ginty\, PhD (Harvard Medical School)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David Ginty\, PhD\nEdward R. and Anne G. Lefler Professor of Neurobiology and Department Chair\nDepartment of Neurobiology\, Harvard Medical School\nInvestigator\, Howard Hughes Medical Institute \nDate and Time: March 5\, 2027 \nUsing a range of advanced tools\, the Ginty Lab is able to map how signals from the skin travel through the nervous system to encode touch perception. These circuits are what allow us to differentiate between textures\, temperatures\, and levels of pressure. Understanding how they develop and function provides insight into conditions such as chronic pain or autism\, in which touch feels painful or becomes overwhelming.

SUMMARY:BHI Plenary Seminar: Ryohei Yasuda\, PhD (Max Planck Florida Institute)
DESCRIPTION:Plenary Speaker: Ryohei Yasuda\, PhD\nScientific Director\, Max Planck Florida Institute \nDr. Yasuda’s research focuses on synaptic plasticity\, the ability of synapses to change their connection strength. This process is thought to underlie learning and memory. Cascades of biochemical reactions in dendritic spines\, tiny (~0.1 femtoliter) postsynaptic compartments emanating from dendritic surfaces\, trigger diverse forms of synaptic plasticity. The Yasuda lab aims to elucidate some of the operation principles of such signaling networks in dendritic spines using various optical techniques.
