The development of a brain from its simple beginnings in the embryo to the extraordinarily complex fully-functional adult structure is a truly remarkable process. Understanding how it occurs remains a formidable challenge despite enormous advances over the last century and curre…

Ciliated mechanoreceptors, such as our inner ear hair cells, receive vibrational and touch input from an animal’s surroundings and direct that information into the their brain via neuronal transmission. In ascidians, the vertebrates’ closest extant relatives, ciliated mechanorec…
"This book describes the main elements of current understanding of the mechanisms that create the nervous system, from its first beginnings to its mature form. It explains how cells make key decisions about becoming neural, when to proliferate and when to differentiate or die, w…

The consequences of colonialism for Canadian Indigenous peoples are far-reaching, and cumulative, with vast disparities in health, healthcare, and high mortality rates. Decolonizing Indigenous health and wellbeing is long overdue, requiring an equal partnership between governmen…
תסמונת דחק בתר-טראומטית נגרמת בעקבות חשיפה לגורם דחק אקוטי, בלתי נשלט ובלתי צפוי שעלול לגרום לפגיעה פסיכולוגית ותפקודית משמעותית. עם, המנגנונים הנוירוביולוגיים שעומדים מאחורי התסמונת אינם ברורים. על מנת להאיר מנגנונים אלה, נעשה שימוש במודלים שונים של התסמונת בבעלי חיים כמו טראומ…
In mammals, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) acts as the master circadian pacemaker of the body. The SCN coordinate the thousands of individual oscillators throughout the body to maintain optimal health and homeostatic functioning. The importance of maintaining circadian rhythm…
