弗吉尼亚大学教授系列讲座
| Date | Events | |
| May 6, 2015 | 9:00 – 11:30 a.m. 综合楼307 | Dr. Scott – Assistant Professor of Pharmacology, University of Virginia Lecture on theNeuronal Circuitry Controlling Food-Seeking Behavior. In this lecture, Dr. Scott will discuss: 1) the neuronal circuitry regulating the homeostatic and hedonic control of feeding and 2) behavioral tasks used to assess the drive to consume both drug and natural reward. Several cutting-edge technologies will be introduced that are currently being applied to the investigation of feeding control circuitry. One participant will be asked to volunteer to present an assigned article; the article and background reading will be distributed before the class. |
| 12:00-1:30 PM 综合楼307 | Lunch, with students (15) 报名email：153602893@qq.com | |
| 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. 综合楼307 | Dr. Scott – Assistant Professor of Pharmacology, University of Virginia Lecture on the Epigenetic Regulation of Behavior. In this lecture, Dr. Scott will discuss: 1) Epigenetic modifications observed in the nervous system; 2) behavioral effects resulting from epigenetic changes in the genome 3) The lecture will be followed by a literature discussion (one participant will be asked to volunteer to present an assigned article; the article and background reading will be distributed before the class). | |
| May 7, 2015 | 9:00 – 11:30 a.m. 综合楼205 | Dr. Patel – Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, University of Virginia. Lecture on Membrane Potential and Action Potentials. In this lecture, Dr. Patel will discuss: 1) passive membrane properties and how they are established; 2) What happens when an action potential is generated; 3) structures of ion channels. Several cutting-edge technologies will be introduced that are currently being used to study passive and active membrane properties of neurons. The lecture will be followed by a literature discussion (one participant will be asked to volunteer the presentation of an assigned article; the article and background reading will be distributed before the class). |

| 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. 综合楼205 | Dr. Patel – Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, University of Virginia. Lecture on Ion Channelopathies. In this lecture, Dr. Patel will discuss: 1) inherited ion channel disorders including epilepsy, cardiac arrhythmias and pain; 2) How specific mutations can alter ion channel biophysical properties; 3) Ligand gated channelopathies. The lecture will be followed by a literature discussion (one participant will be asked to volunteer the presentation of an assigned article; the article and background reading will be distributed before the class). | |
