Stanford Bio-X Seminar: Tobias Bonhoeffer - "How Experience Changes the Circuitry of the Brain"
Stanford Bio-X Seminar
One of the most fundamental properties of the brain is its ability to adapt rapidly to environmental changes. This is achieved mainly by changes in the synaptic connectivity between individual nerve cells. Synapses can be modulated in their these, both from a cellular perspective and from a systems perspective, in which we study how functional and structural changes in synaptic connections support experience-dependent plasticity and learning.

Membrane Transporters Beyond Crystal Structures: Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Glutamate Transporters
Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar
OLGA BOUDKER, CORNELL UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Glutamate transporters are responsible for clearance of the neurotransmitter glutamate from the synaptic cleft following rounds of neurotransmission. They maintain steep concentration gradients of glutamate by coupling its uptake to symport of sodium ions and protons and to antiport of potassium ions. Dr. Boudker's lab has been investigating the molecular mechanism of this family of transporters.

Molecular Structural Basis for Amyloid Formation in Alzheimer’s Disease
Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar
Dr. Tycko will describe the highlights of his lab’s studies of amyloid structures, beginning with investigations of β-sheet organization in fibrils formed in vitro and culminating in structural studies of fibrils derived from AD brain tissue.
