Silvia Finnemann Bepler Chair in Biology Department of Biological Sciences Fordham University Photoreceptor outer renewal: molecular mechanisms and link to retinal disease Routine diurnal photoreceptor outer segment renewal is a fundamental homeostatic process in the vertebrate retina. The talk will focus on molecules and pathways that mediate cross-talk between photoreceptors and neighboring retinal […]

Andre Fenton Center for Neural Science NYU Cognition in the noise: remembering, remapping, and reframing cognition dynamics How do we learn and know? For much of my career it was assumed that neurons respond to external stimuli as if to represent them. However, an equally plausible idea asserts that neuronal activity models experience […]

To judge that someone is […]
Amanda Seidl Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders Yale University Touching to learn: How sensory cues impact word segmentation and learning A large body of research documents the noisiness of the infant’s environment and the difficulty of word segmentation and learning. Despite this, infants successfully segment and recognize some words by 4-5 months. […]
