What:
A free, public Symposium and Lunch on current BRAIN Initiative Research and state of the art on treatments for brain disease, disorders and injury. The discussion will include the revolution in "neurotechnology" aimed at a comprehensive understanding of the brain in order to be able to combat these diseases and conditions effectively.
Why:
- To educate the public on the current efforts to develop new technologies aimed at revolutionizing neurology and psychiatry.
- To create a dialogue between the broad patient community and the scientific/medical community to work towards alleviating the pain and suffering of those affected by brain injuries and disorders
Dr. Terry Sejnowski (neuroscientist), Dr. Neal Swerdlow (psychiatrist), Dr. James Brewer (neurologist), and special guest Dr. Richard Horn (neuroscientist, Parkinson's survivor, master magician)
Who Should Attend:
Patients, Family Members, and General Public

Lecture: Ann-Shyn Chiang
Memory circuits in the Drosophila Brain
05/01/2014
4:00 PM
Leichtag Room 107, School of Medicine, UC San Diego
Defining the neurons that comprise a memory trace has been a major goal of neuroscience. Accomplishing this task is not only feasible in Drosopihla, it is under way. Experiments will be described that begin to identify circuits and key neurons that acquire, maintain, consolidate, and store a memory trace.
As the Director of the Brain Research Center at The National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, Dr. Chiang is focused on research to understand how genes and circuits orchestrate complex behavior in Drosophila. Three main approaches are taken: (i) to construct a brain-wide wiring diagram at single-cell resolution; (ii) to manipulate specific nodes in the circuits to understand how the brain encodes and decodes information; and (iii) to develop innovative technologies for functional connectomics research.
