We invite members of the BWH neuroscience community to join us for a virtual symposium on Wednesday, September 29th. The symposium, sponsored by the BWH Department of Neurology and the Brigham Research Institute, will feature a keynote address by Dr. Walter J. Koroshetz, Director of National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health.
As part of Neuroscience Day, we will collect and share short, pre-recorded “lightning talks” from any researchers in the neuroscience community that would like to share their work. Please see below for...

Abstract: The expansion of the neocortex in primates has led to the emergence of brain regions that have specialized functions and connectivity, are important for cognition, and are compromised in brain disorders. What are the genetic and cellular bases for the reorganization and increased capability...
Explore how leaders in the field are using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), organoids, and cellular reprogramming methods to understand the genetic, molecular, and cellular underpinnings of neurological disorders, as well as to screen for potential treatments.

In the era of big data, large-scale methods for neurophysiology have been relatively slow to develop. However, in recent years, with the advent of calcium imaging, voltage imaging, and new multielectrode array technology, the landscape of the field is changing. These advances have brought about scalable assays of neuronal activity and unearthed new possibilities for drug screening, precision medicine, and an improved...
