Steve Small (UT Dallas) discusses how well 19th and 20th century localizationist metaphors for the brain have served our understanding of behavior, especially in the realm of language, and what new strategies are replacing them in the new millennium...

Savio Chan (Northwestern) gives us his thoughts on cell diversity in the external globus pallidus. He weighs in on how to define cell type, when to stop mining for more diversity, and whether cell type may even be a relevant construct in thinking about a network’s function...

Tim Petros (NICHD/NIH) talks about new single cell RNA and epigenetic approaches to understanding the intrinsic programs that determine interneuron diversity. The group discusses how to determine causation vs correlation in identifying candidate mechanisms that regulate interneuron fate decisions, and how historic concepts of cell type (based on morphology, connectivity, physiology, etc) map onto transcriptomic data clustering...

Jacques Wadiche (UAB School of Medicine) talks to us about multivesicular neurotransmitter release (MVR) in the CNS. He takes us through recent work from his lab that gets at PKA-dependent molecular regulation of MVR whereby synaptic release depends on the number of docked vesicles available for release upstream of release probability...
On October 8, 2020, University of Texas San Antonio neuroscientists sat down with Michael Hasselmo for an episode of Neuroscientists Talk Shop. Charles J. Wilson, Isabel Muzzio, Francesco Savelli and Salma Quraishi chatted with him about how models have guided the search for neural correlates of episodic memory, from grid cells, to time representations to egocentric boundary cells.

On October 15, 2020, University of Texas San Antonio neuroscientists sat down with Eliza Bliss-Moreau (UC Davis) for an episode of Neuroscientists Talk Shop. Charles J. Wilson, Melanie Carless, Todd Troyer and Salma Quraishi chatted with her about frameworks for affective neuroscience and how she is using multi species approaches to decompose affect into tractable biological features, i.e., valence and arousal...
On October 22, 2020 the UTSA gang sat down with Nicola Grissom (UMN) for an episode of Neuroscientists Talk Shop. Charles J. Wilson, Matt Wanat, Lindsey Macpherson & Salma Quraishi chatted with her about the impact of sex on executive function & how genetic factors interact with sex in autism...
On October 29, 2020, University of Texas San Antonio neuroscientists sat down with UCSF Neurosurgeon Philip Starr for an episode of Neuroscientists Talk Shop. Charles J. Wilson, Matt Higgs and Salma Quraishi chatted with Dr. Starr about state-of-the-art closed loop brain stimulation therapies in humans and pathological oscillations in the basal ganglia network...
On November 19, 2020, University of Texas San Antonio neuroscientists sat down with Tad Blair for an episode of Neuroscientists Talk Shop. Charles J. Wilson, Francesco Savelli, Todd Troyer and Salma Quraishi chatted with him about mapping brain states on behavior.
Dr. Blair is Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience in the Department of Psychology & a member of the Brain Research Institute at UCLA
