These effects reflect a dopamine-dependent reward-prediction error signal that may be caused by ventral mid-brain nuclei. I will also discuss data from our first microstimulation experiments in the monkey targeting the ventral midbrain which revealed profound functional network changes in the reward circuitry and changes in behavior during a free choice task in monkeys. -

Recent advances in Imaging Flow Cytometry - The 2nd Israeli ImagestreamX user meeting
More information Time 09:00 - 12:00Location Gerhard M.J. Schmidt Lecture HallOrganizer Department of Life Sciences Core FacilitiesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Imaging Flow Cytometry combines speed, sensitivity, and phen...» Imaging Flow Cytometry combines speed, sensitivity, and phenotyping abilities found in flow cytometry with the detailed imagery and functional insight of microscopy, for an extensive range of novel applications. It allows quantitating cellular morphology and the intensity and location of fluorescent probes on, in, or between cells, even in rare sub-populations and highly heterogeneous samples. We will present here several examples of the projects done with the ImageStreamX. The wide range of applications used include studying intracellular localization, shape changes and morphology, co-localization, cell signaling, T cell - APC interactions, DNA damage and repair, nuclear translocation, cell death and apoptosis, phagocytosis and internalization, FISH, vesicle trafficking, and many others. -

Synaptic mechanisms of sensory perception

Brain Mind Institute, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL),Lausanne, SwitzerlandOrganizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about A key goal of modern neuroscience is to understand the neura...» A key goal of modern neuroscience is to understand the neural circuits and synaptic mechanisms underlying sensory perception. Here, I will discuss our efforts to characterise sensory processing in the mouse barrel cortex, a brain region known to process tactile information relating to the whiskers on the snout. Each whisker is individually represented in the primary somatosensory neocortex by an anatomical unit termed a ‘barrel’. The barrels are arranged in a stereotypical map, which allows recordings and manipulations to be targeted with remarkable precision. In this cortical region it may therefore be feasible to gain a quantitative understanding of neocortical function. We have begun experiments towards this goal using whole-cell recordings, voltage-sensitive dye imaging, viral manipulations, optogenetics and two-photon microscopy. Through combining these techniques with behavioral training, our experiments provide new insight into sensory perception at the level of individual neurons and their synaptic connections. -
