- Microtubule Motors and Axonal Transport: Function and Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Disease
-
- - Erika Holzbaur, Ph.D. (2010/11/18)
- - Category : Neuroscience
- Dr. Holzbaur is interested in the mechanisms of microtubule-based motility. This motility is involved in basic cellular processes such as organelle trafficking, and in more specialized functions such as the transport of vesicles along the extended axonal processes of the neuron. Her laboratory focuses on the motor cytoplasmic dynein and its activator complex dynactin. Dynein function is essential in higher eukaryotes, yet its basic mechanisms of action including coupling to cargo and cellular regulation remain to be determined.
Currently Dr. Holzbaur？？？s lab is focusing on (1) biophysical assays for motor function using single molecule approaches; (2) elucidating the mechanisms driving bidirectional transport along the axon; (3) determining the mechanisms that regulate bidirectional transport; and (4) exploring the link between defects in axonal transport and the development of neuropathogenesis in degenerative diseases such as ALS.

- Memory and the Aging Brain
-
- - Dr. Carol Barnes (2010/11/18)
- - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
- Dr. Barnes is past-president of the 40,000 member Society for Neuroscience, an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and an Elected Foreign Member fo the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters.
The central goal of Dr. Barnes？？？ research program is to understand how the brain changes during the aging process and what the functional consequences of these changes are on information processing and memory in the elderly. Her research program involves behavioral, electrophysiological and molecular biological approaches to the study of young and aged rodents and non-human primates. This work provides a basis for understanding the basic mechanisms of normal aging in the brain and sets a background against which it is possible to assess the effects of pathological changes such as Alzheimers disease. Some current work also includes an assessment of therapeutic agents that may be promising in the alleviation or delay of neural and cognitive changes that occur with age. Dr. Barnes has written over 190 articles in the area of memory changes during normal aging and their possible neurobiological correlates.
The NIH Directors Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series includes weekly scientific talks by some of the top researchers in the biomedical sciences worldwide.

- NIH Health Disparities Seminar Series
March is Women？？？s History month and the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) is pleased to present the March 2010 NIH Health Disparities Seminar Series in collaboration with the Office of Research on Women？？？s Health (ORWH). The theme for the March seminar series is Women？？？s Health Disparities.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for U.S. women as well as men. Among all U.S. women who die each year, one in four dies of heart disease. It is the third leading cause of death among women aged 25 - 44 and the second leading cause of death among women aged 45 - 64. African American women and Hispanic women tend to have more risk factors for heart disease, including obesity, lack of physical activity, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Guest Speaker: Dr. Anne L. Taylor is a cardiologist and Vice Dean for Academic Affairs at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University Medical Center. Dr. Taylor, an established researcher who has authored or coauthored more than 62 publications, chaired the steering committee for the African-American Heart Failure Trials which was the first major clinical trial to test the effectiveness of a heart failure medication in African Americans. The focus of Dr. Taylor？？？s research has been cardiovascular disease in minorities and women as well as the translation of scientific knowledge about cardiovascular disease prevention from academic medicine to communities. She has had leading roles in historic research studies that have significantly enhanced our understanding of disparities in cardiovascular disease in women and minorities. Dr. Taylor？？？s presentation will focus on her research findings about what we know and don？？？t know about heart failure in women and minorities.

- 7T Seminar Series: The Rapidly Changing Brain ？？？ Of Taxi Driving Mice and Maze Running Men
-
- - Dr. Jason Lerch (2010/11/18)
- - Category : 7 T Seminars
- How does the shape of the brain change with learning? Initial studies indicated that spatial expertise - in the form of experienced Taxi drivers - enlarged the hippocampus, one of the key structures involved in spatial navigation. Whether regional growth or shrinkage in the brain can be induced with specific training administered over short time periods is, however, unknown. The talk will present results of training studies in both mice and men, including some initial investigations using histology to ascertain the cellular bases of training induced volume changes.
Dr. Jason Lerch is a scientist at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. His research program is focused on how the brain changes its shape, with activities including the MRI of learning and memory, the effect of specialized training on the human brain, and methods of analyzing neuroanatomy.
