The Siebens building is located at the Downtown Mayo Clinic Campus (not the Mayo Civic Center). Description:The transformative nature of next generation sequencing has changed how neuroscientists approach genomic sequence variation. Highly multiplexed molecular testing is providing an expanded level of information from which to make informed phenotypic predictions. The importance of this is reflected in the unprecedented expansion of genomic testing to determine the basis of neurologic conditions. Genomic testing results in many instances provide a definitive basis of a neurologic condition. However, in almost a high proportion of cases, the genomic sequencing results are confounded by the ambiguity of variants with uncertain clinical significance. Herein lies the key with which institutions will lead in the area of genomic medicine. There exists a critical need to provide a mechanism by which uncertain findings can be functionally characterized and translated into clinically actionable results. It is within thisr ealm that academic societies such as IBANGS can have a substantial and informative role on the future of clinical research and practice. This symposium will introduce the challenges and opportunities that exist in the field of human clinical neurogenetics and follow this with presentations of active work in the field of functional genetic finding validation for neurogenetics with a look to the future of genomic neurogenetics.

  • The Role of Sympathetic Nervous Activity in Chronic Renal Failure

C. Rump Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are extremely high in patients with chronic renal failure. Preventing progression of chronic renal failure and reducing the cardiovascular risk of uraemic patients are major challenges for nephrologists. In the past the renin-angiotensin system has been the main focus of research and therapy efforts. Today we know that sympathetic over- activity plays an important role for progression and prognosis in chronic renal disease. Afferent signals arising from the dam- aged kidneys due to the activation of mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors lead to efferent sympathetic nervous activation. This results in an enhanced release of the sympathetic neurotransmitters noradrenaline, ATP and NPY at important neuro- effector junctions in heart, kidney and blood vessels. All three sympathetic cotransmitter are able to induce vasoconstriction and to stimulate proliferative processes. Recently it was shown in an animal model of chronic renal failure that inhibition of sympa- thetic nervous activity by moxonidine ameliorates disease progression. This effect was independent from blood pressure reduc- tions and likely due to reduced cotransmitter release.

  • WCBR Program3
    Welcome to the Thirty-Fifth 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 neces- sarily familiar with the area presented), workshops (informal discussions of current issues and data), and a number of posters. The annual conference lecture will be presented at the Sunday breakfast on Sunday, January 27. Our guest speaker will be Dr. Donald Kennedy, Editor-in-Chief of Science. On Tuesday, January 29, a town meeting will be held for the Aspen/Snowmass commu- nity at which Dr. George Ricaurte, and WCBR participants will discuss drug addiction and toxicity of addictive drugs. Also, participants in the WCBR Outreach Program will present sessions at local schools throughout the week to pique students’ interest in science.

  • Neural Control of the Cardiovascular System in Space 177 Figure 3
    Experiment Team Neural Control of the Principal Investigator: C. Gunnar Blomqvist’ Cardiovascular System Co-Investigators: Benjamin D. Levinel James A. Pawelczyk2 in Space Lynda D. Lane3 Cole A. Gillerl E Andrew Gaffney3 Authors Benjamin D. Levine, James A. Pawelczyk, ‘University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Julie H. Zuckerman, Rong Zhang, Qi Fu, Dallas, USA Kenichi Iwasaki, Chet Ray, C. Gunnar Blomqvist *The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA Vanderbilt University, Nashville, USA ABSTRACT During the acute transition from lying supine to standing upright, a large volume of blood suddenly moves from the chest into the legs. To prevent fainting, the blood pressure control system senses this change immediately, and rapidly adjusts flow (by increasing heart rate) and resistance to flow (by constricting the blood vessels) to restore blood pressure and maintain brain blood flow. If this system is inadequate, the brain has a “backup plan.” Blood vessels in the brain can adjust their diameter to keep blood flow constant. If blood pressure drops, the brain blood vessels dilate; if blood pressure increases, the brain blood vessels constrict. This process, which is called “autoreg- ulation,” allows the brain to maintain a steady stream of oxygen, even when blood pressure changes. We examined what changes in the blood pressure control system or cerebral autoregulation contribute to the blood pressure con- trol problems seen after spaceflight. We asked: (1) does the adaptation to spaceflight cause an adaptation in the blood pressure control system that impairs the ability of the system to constrict blood vessels on return to Earth?; (2)if such a defect exists, could we pinpoint the neural pathways involved?; and (3) does cerebral autoregulation become abnormal during spaceflight, impairing the body’s ability to maintain constant brain blood flow when standing upright on Earth? We stressed the blood pressure control system using lower body negative pressure, upright tilt, handgrip exercise, and cold stimulation of the hand.
