Description
The Neuro Next Seminar Series is a public event that showcases local and invited experts in the fields of neuroscience, neurotechnology, and related areas of societal and human impact. It is open to Georgia Tech faculty, students, and staff, as well as government, academic, and industry representatives. Neuro Next Seminar Series was formerly known as the GT Neuro Seminar Series. The name changed in 2024.

Brain-computer interfaces for basic science

2025-01-27 , Yu, Byron

Byron Yu's research is at the intersection of neuroscience, engineering, and machine learning. He is broadly interested in how large populations of neurons process information, from encoding sensory stimuli to driving motor actions. To address basic scientific questions about brain function, his group develops and applies 1) novel statistical algorithms, such as dimensionality reduction and dynamical systems methods, and 2) brain-computer interfaces.

Examining dexterous motor control in children born with a below elbow deficiency

2025-03-10 , Joiner, Wilsaan

Dr. Wilsaan Joiner's laboratory studies how we use different sources of information to aid behavior, ranging from visual perception to movement planning and updating. Specifically, we are interested in how external and internally-generated sensory information is integrated in healthy individuals, in comparison to certain disease and impaired populations (e.g., Schizophrenia and upper extremity amputees). Achieving this understanding may lead to better methods for diagnosing and treating impairments of the nervous system.

The role of GPCR family Mrgprs in itch, pain, and innate immunity

2025-01-13 , Dong, Xinzhong

The laboratory has taken a multidisciplinary approach to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of different types of somatosensations including pain and itch, which are initiated and mediated by primary sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). We identified a novel family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in mice called Mrgprs. Many of these receptors are exclusively expressed in distinct subsets of small-diameter DRG neurons. Mrgprs provide the sensory biology community a great molecular tool to study various aspects of DRG sensory neuron function. Recently we found that MrgprA3 function as a receptor for chloroquine (an anti-malaria drug) and is required for chloroquine-induced itch. In addition to itch, certain Mrgs play an inhibitory role in spinal central sensitization and chronic pain. In addition to itch receptors, we found that MrgprX2 in humans and MrgprB2 in mice are exclusively expressed in mast cells (a type of innate immune cells) and play an essential role in IgE-dependent mast cell activation and mediate drug-induced pseudoallergical reactions. My lab has also generated Pirt-GCaMP mice which allow us to do in vivo DRG imaging. This powerful technique has been used by many labs to reveal novel pain mechanisms.
