March 31: 2010 Packard Lecture
From Molecules to Minds: The Unfolding Saga of Neurobiological Circuits in Neurologic and Psychiatric Diseases, at 3 p.m. in Sanford Auditorium. Presented by Floyd E. Bloom M.D., Professor Emeritus, Scripps Research Institute.
In this lecture, Professor Bloom will use the central noradrenergic circuitry of the nucleus locus coeruleus in the rodent, non-human primate, and human brain to illustrate the evolution of our understanding of this neuronal system and its functions and dysfunctions in neurologic and psychiatric diseases. From an understanding of the efferent and afferent circuits of the locus coeruleus, its cellular actions at alpha and beta adrenergic receptors, and the behavioral repertoire that activates and suppresses the firing of the locus coeruleus, an integrative series of cognitive and behavioral functions can now be assigned to the central noradrenergic circuits, and pathophysiological implications have begun to emerge for Major Depression, Alzheimer's Disease and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
