- Neuroscience Program Seminar: Yehuda Ben-Shahar February 18, 2020 at 4:00 pm – 4:00 pm Beckman Institute Room 1005 "The genetics of neuronal robustness," Yehuda Ben-Shahar, Associate Professor, Department of Biology, Washington University in St. LouisTo produce adaptive behaviors, neurons must maintain robust intrinsic excitability. However, the genetic networks that enable intrinsic neuronal homeostasis remain mostly unknown. The Ben-Shahar lab explores the molecular processes that maintain neuronal robustness at different timescale by using the…

- Neuroscience Program Seminar: Matthew R. Hayes February 25, 2020 at 4:00 pm – 4:00 pm Beckman Institute Room 1005 "Brainstem astrocytes mediate neuroendocrine signaling for energy balance control," Matthew R. Hayes, PhD, Associate Professor, Vice Chair of Basic and Translational Neuroscience, Department of Psychiatry, University of PennsylvaniaPharmaceutical manipulation of the hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and leptin are viable treatment options for obesity and metabolic diseases. Surprisingly, the cellular mechanisms within the brain mediating GLP-1…
