DESCRIPTION:\nSupported by the generosity of the Killam Trusts\, The Neuro'
 s Killam Seminar Series invites outstanding guest speakers whose research 
 is of interest to the scientific community at The Neuro and ºÃÉ«TVl Univers
 ity.\n\n\nTo attend in person\, register here\n\nTo watch via vimeo\, clic
 k here\n\n\nChristopher Ford\n\nProfessor\, Department of Pharmacology\, U
 niversity of Colorado\n\nHost: austen.milnerwood [at] mcgill.ca (Austen Mi
 lnerwood)\n\nAbstract: Ford's lab examines how neuromodulators are encoded
  in the mesolimbic and nigrostriatal systems and how circuit dysfunctions 
 in these areas contribute to neurological and psychiatric disorders. Dopam
 ine\, acetylcholine and serotonin play key roles in the basal ganglia and 
 nucleus accumbens\, controlling a variety of motivated behaviors including
  decision-making\, action selection\, motor skill learning\, habit formati
 on and reward processing. The lab uses a combination of electrophysiology\
 , 2-photon imaging\, optogenetics\, genetically encoded optical sensors\, 
 electrochemistry\, in vivo fiber photometry and behavioral approaches to s
 tudy how transmission mediated by these neuromodulators are encoded within
  mesolimbic and nigrostriatal circuits. By identifying the mechanisms regu
 lating signaling Ford's lab aims to identify the disruptions in these syst
 ems that underlie psychiatric disorders such as drug addiction and schizop
 hrenia and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.\n
