FW: University of York: Cell and Molecular Biology Lunch Club - Mon 16th November

Apologies for cross postings.. _____ From: Lisa Schubert [mailto:lisa.schubert@hyms.ac.uk] Sent: 12 November 2009 10:13 To: Lisa Schubert Subject: University of York: Cell and Molecular Biology Lunch Club - Mon 16th November If you would like to meet with Professor Miesenboeck during his visit, please contact Sean Sweeney (sts1(a)york.ac.uk) CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY LUNCH CLUB Monday 16th November 2009, 1.15pm Room K018, Biology Professor Geor Miesenboeck Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, Oxford "The beginnings of optogenetics " Abstract: Light-sensitive proteins encoded in DNA can serve as selective optical interfaces for observing and controlling genetically targeted neurons in functioning circuits, in vitro and in vivo. Light-emitting sensors of neuronal activity (reporting calcium increase, neurotransmitter release, or membrane depolarization) have begun to reveal how information is represented by neuronal assemblies, and how these representations are transformed during the computations that inform behaviour. Light-driven actuators control the electrical activity of central neurons in freely moving animals and establish causal connections between the activities of specific neurons and the expression of particular behaviours. The combination of finely resolved optical field sensing and finely resolved optical field actuation is opening new dimensions for the analysis of the connectivity, dynamics, and plasticity of neuronal circuits, and perhaps even for replacing lost---or designing novel---functionalities.

Open Plan reminder
by Sam Johnson 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hello all, Just a quick reminder that open plan will again be very busy between 13:00 and 15:30 this afternoon for the MSc course. Last week all the machines were in use so it's unlikely there'll be any space today. Thanks, Sam

Talk at Psychology, Monday Nov 9, 4:30

Learning and limits on adult plasticity for speech Dr Jason Zevin Sackler Institute for Psychobiology Weill Medical College of Cornell University New York, USA 4.30pm, Monday November 9 2009 Psychology A202 (Venables) One way to understand changes in plasticity over the course of development (e.g. sensitive period phenomena) is as a result of the process of learning itself. This is readily observed even in simple neural network models. Learning to categorize speech sounds in one's native language can be characterized as a process of tuning the perceptual system to the dimensions along which change is meaningful in that language. One consequence of this process is a diminished sensitivity to foreign language (L2) contrasts that differ along dimensions not contrastive in one's native phonetic inventory, which ultimately can result in failures to learn even after many years of exposure. This specialization is also reflected in the responses of a network of left-lateralized temporal and frontal cortical regions which respond differentially to native speech contrasts relative to unfamiliar L2 sounds and control stimuli not perceived as crossing a categorical boundary. I will present a series of studies combining behavioral, electroencephalographic and fMRI techniques to examine the traces of early experience on the adult speech perception system.

Thursday seminar
by Garreth Prendergast 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Greetings all, Tomorrow evening there will be a presentation by me on some of the clinical work we've been performing at the centre, an overview of upcoming clinical research projects and also a brief look at some MEG group analysis which i've recently done. It's in the early stages, but quite interesting. Hope to see you there, i'm sure we can find the stash of refreshments too. Thanks, Garreth

Open Plan Busyness
by Sam Johnson 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hello all, Just a quick note to let people know that this Thursday afternoon (and in fact the next 6 or 7 Thursday afternoons) will be very busy in open plan with the MSc practical sessions. Due to the numbers it's unlikely you'll be able to get on the machines from about 13:00 till 15:30, as we expect almost, if not all the computers to be in use. More info to follow on the Thursday evening seminar. Thanks, Sam -- Sam Johnson Science Manager, York NeuroImaging Centre University of York http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk
