Neuroscientists Talk Shop ·

2022/10/20

On Thursday, October 20, we held our 13th annual Neuroscience Symposium. The topic was organoid models of cortical development. Brain organoids are 3-dimensional tissues grown from pluripotent stem cells. For studying cortical development, the stem cells are cultured under conditions that promote differentiation into cerebral cortex neurons. The participants in the symposium spoke on the use of organoids as a model to study human cortical development and disorders of development. After the

Wednesday, July 27, 2022 On Thursday March 6, 2008 we recorded episode 9 of Neuroscientists talk Shop. Our guess was John Lisman, from Brandeis University. We enjoyed a 50 minutediscussion with John that touched on a range of topics. This retrospective summary of that conversation has been heavily edited forlinearity, and the topics have been thinned out somewhat. John's unique perspective is evident throughout, and although this was 14 years ago,most of the topics still seem current and John's
