NeuroNavigation: how the brain represents the space we live in and finds our way around
Learning about new environments or locating ourselves in familiar environments are some of the most fundamental tasks the brain performs. Professor O’Keefe will describe how the hippocampal formation uses motivations such as curiosity and a desire to map the unknown to carry out these operations. In particular he will examine the different types of neuronal activities and ‘space cells’ that underpin a sense of place, direction and distance and contribute to the creation of the cognitive map. Venue: The Royal Society Start date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:30:00 +0100 End date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:30:00 +010...

Cosy Science presents: What you shouldn't forget about Alzheimer's... with Prof John Hardy
Our most complex organ is the brain, it is what makes us who we are. We have to pay the biggest price when something goes wrong; we might lose our memories and lose ourselves with them. John Hardy finds genes which cause neurologic diseases. The best way to look for these is to work closely with families who have high prevalence of brain disease. Once they identify the gene, they can look the position of the mistakes in the gene and reveal the mechanism which might lead to the disease and use the information to screen individuals’ risk of developing it. John Hardy is the director of the Institute of Neurobiology at U...

From bench to bedside: KATP channels and neonatal diabetes
Royal Society Croonian Lecture Whether you eat a whole box of chocolates or fast for the day, the pancreatic beta-cells ensure that your blood glucose level remains relatively constant by regulating the release of insulin from the pancreatic beta-cells. Diabetes results when insulin release is inadequate and blood glucose levels chronically rise. This lecture will describe how a membrane protein pore known as the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel plays a vitally important role in regulating insulin secretion and show how mutations in KATP channel genes can cause neonatal diabetes, a rare genetic form of diabetes that ...

Cosy Science presents: Repairing the brain with stem cells with Prof Jack Price
The first clinical trial of stem cells for a neurodegenerative disease in the UK is now underway. Does this mean that a new era of regenerative medicine for brain disorders is upon us? Could it also herald the advent of ‘human enhancement’ using stem cell technologies? Or is it possible that neuroscientists don’t really know what they are doing, and just got lucky? Jack Price is Professor of Developmental Neurobiology at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, and is Head of the Institute’s Centre for the Cellular Basis of Behaviour. He is also a consultant for ReNeuron Ltd., a...
