  • Michael Bienkowski, Ph.D.

    Gene expression and connectivity reveal the multiscale organization of mouse hippocampal networks Many studies have described structural and functional heterogeneity across the hippocampus, but different fields of neuroscience (behavioral, anatomical, and gene expression studies) have produced disparate views of hippocampal organization. To help bridge the gaps between these data, we analyzed and mapped mouse gene…

  • UCI Mind Seminar with Tsuneya Ikezu, M.D., Ph.D.

    UCI Mind Seminar Dr. Ikezu's Laboratory of Molecular NeuroTherapeutics mainly focuses on neuroimmune cell-mediated regulations of neuronal function, neurogenesis, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration. In particular, we are interested in how the innate immune-related molecules in the central nervous system (CNS) influences the pathology and progression of select neurodegenerative disorders e.g. Alzheimer’s Disease, frontotemporal dementia and autism…

  • UCI Mind: Ask the Doctor Series with Dr. Craig Stark

    ASK THE DOC: Alzheimer’s Research Today is an informative Facebook Live video series focused on the most pressing questions and latest research in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. Presented by a panel of experts from UCI MIND, this series is scheduled for the first Friday of each month from 9:00-9:30AM PST at @UCIrvineMIND on Facebook.…

  • ICAN Seminar with Kristina Uban

    Dr. Uban received her Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience from the University of British Columbia. Dr. Uban’s research utilizes multi-modal neuroimaging and salivary biosciences to non-invasively examine brain-hormone relationships in children and adolescents. Specifically, her research focuses on the impact of prenatal exposure to alcohol on neurobiological propensity for cognitive and mental health problems in males…

  • MSTP Distinguished Lecture Series

Dr. Ying-Hui Fu is a Professor of Neurology…

  • Miranda Lim, MD, PhD

    “The Function of Early Life Sleep in Development: Lessons from the Prairie Vole” Abstract: Despite spending almost one third of our lives asleep, the function of sleep remains one of biology’s greatest mysteries. Nearly all animals sleep more early in life, suggesting a highly conserved role for sleep in development. Indeed, disrupted sleep specifically during…

  • Michael Scofield, Ph.D.

    Dr. Scofield is interested in the cellular substrates of drug addiction with a focus on the molecular underpinnings of relapse vulnerability. To date, studies in his laboratory have been focused on the corticostriatal pathway, heavily implicated in drug seeking and relapse. One unique aspect of their group is that the studies performed in the lab…
