Episode 332 - Vanesaa Nieto-Estévez and Parul Varma, PhDs

Season 18 · Episode 332

Monday, April 27, 2026 • Duration 36:14

On April 23, 2026 I met with Drs. Vanesa Nieto Estévez and Parul Varma to talk about brain organoids made from cells derived from patients with genetic childhood epilepsy. Vanesa and Parul explained how these patient-derived tissue cultures are used to isolate the defects in brain development that underly the brain disorder, and to suggest and test potential treatments.

Guests:

Episode 330 - Marcelo Marucho, PhD

Season 18 · Episode 330

Monday, April 13, 2026 • Duration 33:44

On April 9, 2026 I spoke with Dr. Marcelo Marucho, on the electrical properties of actin filaments and microtubules, ubiquitous components of the cytoskeleton of nearly all cells. He explained how the surface charge of these proteins creates a thin charged layer in the adjacent cytoplasm in which electrical signals may be generated and conducted. In the case of microtubules, the interaction between external and luminal surfaces can produce oscillations. We discussed some of the possible functions of these electrical signals in the brain.

Episode 329 - Daniel Llano, MD, PhD

Season 19 · Episode 329

Monday, April 6, 2026 • Duration 42:00

On April 2, 2026 we met with Dr. Daniel Llano to discuss the organization of the largest subcortical auditory brain structure, the inferior colliculus. He told us about the three major subnuclei within the inferior colliculus, their synaptic connections with other auditory and somatosensory structures, and the problems encountered as we try to identify the cell types and local connectivity within the nucleus.

Guest: Daniel A Llano, Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Episode 328 - Place Cells and Spatial Imagination

Season 18 · Episode 328

Monday, March 30, 2026 • Duration 38:14

On March 26, 2026, we held our annual UTSA Neuroscience Symposium entitled "From Place Cells to Cognition", featuring 5 speakers presenting original research on the cognitive functions of hippocampal place cells. They discussed the firing patterns of place cells during exploration of cognitive maps, anticipating future movements, recall of previously visited locations, and imagining the movement of objects in the environment. After the symposium, I met with the speakers to review some of the themes that emerged throughout the day.

Speakers:

Francesco Savelli, Assistant Professor, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSA

Annabelle Singer, Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University

Albert Lee, Associate Professor, Department of Neurology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Harvard University

Jill Leutgeb, Professor, Department of Neurobiology, University of California San Diego

Episode 327 - Se-Woong Park, PhD

Season 18 · Episode 327

Monday, March 23, 2026 • Duration 45:49

On March 19, 2026 we spoke with Dr. Se-Woong Park about the idea that many of the symptoms of Autism may arise from changes in brain mechanisms that allow us to predict events in the near future from those in the recent past. Topics included internal predictions of postural destabilization produced by our own movements, and prediction of the trajectories of moving objects. We discussed some experimental results testing this idea.

Guest:

Se-Woong Park, Associate Professor, Department of Kinesiology, UTSA

Participating:

Hyoung-gon Lee, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSA
