  • NSABB Public Consultation on Guidance for Enhancing Personnel Reliability and Strengthening the Culture of Responsibility at the Local Level
    • - National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (2011/01/20)
    • - Category : National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity
    The NSABB is hosting a public consultation to obtain input from the scientific community regarding strategies for enhancing personnel reliability and strengthening the culture of responsibility at research facilities that conduct research with dangerous pathogens. The discussion will inform NSABB deliberations and ultimately the development of an NSABB report on the topic.

    The meeting will focus on five topics: 1) Engaged institutional leadership for promoting biosecurity, personnel reliability, and a culture of responsibility; 2) Encouraging biosecurity awareness and promoting responsible conduct in the laboratory through communication, lab rapport, and a strong sense of team; 3) Peer reporting of concerning behaviors; 4) Addressing impediments to disclosure of negative information about job candidates; and 5) Assessment of effectiveness and impact of practices for strengthening personnel reliability and culture of responsibility. Each session will include remarks from panelists as well as ample time for input from meeting attendees.

  • Seeing is Believing: A Gene Therapy Success
    • - Jean Bennett, M.D., Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania (2011/01/08)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    Gene therapy has the potential to reverse disease or prevent further deterioration of vision in patients with incurable inherited retinal degeneration. The demonstration of safe and stable recovery of retinal/visual function in 12 children and adults with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) due to RPE65 mutations in a trial being carried out at The Children???s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), and encouraging results from four other clinical trials for LCA-RPE65 provide great hope for people with other more common blinding diseases. This presentation will describe the animal studies that led to the clinical trials and the latest safety and efficacy results in the LCA-RPE65 clinical trial being held at CHOP. This Phase 1-2 study is now >3 years past initiation. In addition, it will describe some of the challenges presented by the nature of the targeted disease itself, hurdles that have been navigated in order to conduct the study, and issues of importance for eventual approval of gene augmentation as a therapy for LCA and other blinding diseases.

  • Basal Ganglia Mechanisms of Behavioral Plasticity
    • - David Perkel, Ph.D., University of Washington (2011/01/06)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Neuroscience Seminar Series

    Vocal learning in songbirds is an experimentally accessible model system in which to study the neural mechanisms of learning. Juvenile birds memorize song(s) from an adult tutor and then use auditory feedback from their own songs to compare with their memory of the tutor song(s). This comparison guides a process of motor learning; through practice, juvenile birds gradually learn to produce a highly stereotyped song that resembles the tutor song. Extensive research has investigated the underlying neural circuits that are involved in song learning and production. The Perkel lab uses a variety of electrophysiological, anatomical and behavioral approaches to probe the neural mechanisms that mediate song learning and song behavior.

  • Sex Differences in Drug Abuse: The Role of Estradiol
    • - Jill B. Becker, PhD (2010/12/24)

    BSSR Lecture Series

    There are sex differences in many motivated behaviors, including the motivation to take drugs of abuse. In females, rapid effects of estradiol on the ascending dopamine (DA) system enhance the females motivation to take cocaine and other drugs of abuse. These effects of estradiol can be studied behaviorally and neurochemically when looking at the response to psychomotor stimulant drugs such as cocaine and amphetamine. For example, we have found that female rats exhibit greater behavioral sensitization to cocaine, acquire cocaine self-administration more rapidly, and work harder for access to cocaine than males. Estradiol enhances these sex differences. In the striatum and nucleus accumbens, estradiol rapidly potentiates stimulated DA release of female rats. Results from experiments investigating the mechanisms mediating this effect of estradiol will also be discussed.
