WCBR Program 01 Welcome to the Thirty-Fourth Annual Winter Conference on Brain Research The Winter Conference on Brain Research (WCBR) was founded in 1968 to promote free exchange of information and ideas within neuroscience. It was the intent of the founders that both formal and informal interactions would occur between clinical and laboratory based neuroscientists. During the past thirty years neuroscience has grown and expanded to include many new fields and methodologies. This diversity is also reflected by WCBR participants and in our program. A primary goal of the WCBR is to enable participants to learn about the current status of areas of neuroscience other than their own. Another objective is to provide a vehicle for scientists with common interests to discuss current issues in an informal setting. On the other hand, WCBR is not designed for presentations limited to communicating the latest data to a small group of specialists; this is best done at national society meetings. The program includes panels (reviews for an audience not necessarily familiar with the area presented), workshops (informal discussions of current issues and data), and a number of posters. The annual confer- ence lecture will be presented at breakfast on Sunday, January 21. Our guest speaker will be Dr. Gerald Fischbach, Director of the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health. On Tuesday, January 23, a town meeting will be held for the Steamboat Springs community. Here Dr. Charles O Brien, and WCBR participants will discuss the neurobiological basis of mental illness. Also, participants in the WCBR outreach program will present sessions at local schools throughout the week to pique stu- dents interest in science. Finally, the banquet, including music and dancing, will be held on Friday evening. Generous donations from sponsors have permitted us to continue the WCBR Fellowship Award Program. These awards are given to young neuroscientists who are on the program and who are newcomers to WCBR. Congratulations and a warm welcome to this year s fellows: Bill Carlezon, David Chambers, Gersham Dent, Cecilia Flores, 1 Timothy Gomez, Ryder Gwinn, Andrew Jenkins, Gregory Kinney, Oliver Manzoni, Haley Melikian, Claudio Mello, David W. Miller, Derek Molliver, Cheryl L. Stucky, and Kevin Wickman. Please plan to attend the business meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 24. We will elect a Facilities Chair-Elect and three members of the Board of Directors. A sign-up sheet will be available on the message board to indicate your interest in running for a Board of Directors position. Other important matters will be discussed including proposed changes in the by-laws and the selection of future conference sites. Don’t forget to visit the exhibit area. 2 Conference Chair Allan Basbaum Michael S. Levine, Chair-Elect Program Committee Paul C.

    COLUMBIA columbia university DIGITAL KNOWLEDGE VENTURES Brain and Mind May 13, 2004 Gerald D. Fischbach, MD Neuroscience and Neuropathology—Converging Streams Introduction by Lee Bollinger President Lee Bollinger: This symposium is the result of the very, very hard work of Professor Tom Jessell and Dr. Joanna Rubinstein, and I want to thank and acknowledge them, and would like to thank all of you for coming. This is a great testament to the general perceived importance of the subjects of this symposium. I want to thank all the speakers who have come to participate. I want to take this occasion just to announce that Columbia will be launching—we are launching, as of this moment—an institute for neuroscience that will be part (eventually) of the major center for the study of the brain and behavior. We all, I think, recognize in the academy the extraordinary advances that have come just in the past few decades, the past decade in particular, because of the discoveries around the genetic code. Where that will take us of course we don't know, and we're making very, very significant investments across the country in trying to advance knowledge as a result of that new knowledge. But the study of the brain and how it works is clearly central not only to the curing of disease, but also to the understandings that we bring to every, virtually every, area of life: social sciences, the professions, and the humanities. And it is Columbia's goal to try to bring as many scientific advances as we possibly can to this area, and also to integrate it with other areas of knowledge.

Neurons immunoreactive for either peptide are found in all areas of monkey cortex examined as well as throughout the rat cerebral cortex and in the subcortical white matter of both species. In monkey and rat cortex, SRIF-positive neurons are morphologically very similar to NPY-positive neurons. Of the total population of SRIF-positive and NPY- positive neurons in sensory-motor and parietal cortex of monkeys, a minimum of 24% was immunoreactive for both peptides. Most cell bodies are small (8 to 10 pm in diameter) and are present through the depth of the cortex but are densest in layers II-III, in layer VI, and in the subjacent white matter. From the cell bodies several processes commonly emerge, branch two or three times, become beaded, and extend for long distances through the cortex.

  • Scientists Discover Master Regulator of Motor Neuron Firing 16 March 2009
    Scientists discover master regulator of motor neuron firing 16 March 2009 neuromuscular junction, where axons of motor neurons meet the muscle. At this junction, these tendril-like extensions synapse specifically onto clusters of receptors, allowing the brain to transmit messages that signal the muscle to either contract or relax. The deterioration of the neuromuscular junction is at the center of Lou Gehrig’s disease. Since the 1980s, the master architect of the neuromuscular junction was thought to be a specific form of a protein known as agrin. Designated Z+ agrin, this form of the protein is found only in neurons and has an extra piece of RNA spliced into the transcript. To many, a key question that remained was which splicing factor is responsible for slipping in this extra piece, the Z+ exon. All wired up. At the neuromuscular junction, axons of motor neurons (green) synapse onto receptor proteins In their work, Darnell and Ruggiu not only unmask (red) that form clusters on various muscles (blue) the splicing factor but also reveal that this factor, throughout the body. Research now shows that an RNA not Z+ agrin, is the master regulator that regulatory protein called Nova is not only the master orchestrates the formation of the neuromuscular architect behind this wiring but the gatekeeper behind junction. Past experiments had led scientists to the function of the motor neuron itself. conclude that Z+ agrin might be necessary and sufficient for the neuromuscular junction to form properly, but Darnell and Ruggiu show that while Z+ agrin is necessary, other proteins are also (PhysOrg.com) -- When the Human Genome needed.
