He will be giving a pair of presentations as part of the BMLS, including a free public talk, <em>The Addicted Brain</em>, on Thursday, May 11, 7 p.m. at the Lethbridge Lodge (Aspen Room).</p><p>Phillips is the latest high profile researcher to take part in the BMLS, a series that began in 2002 and is organized entirely by the neuroscience graduate student body. The talks carry the name of Dr. Brenda Milner, one of the most acclaimed scientists in Canada and also the first guest of the series.</p><p>&ldquo;In the 14 editions that have been organized to date, we were honoured to welcome distinguished guests such as 2014 Nobel Prize recipient Dr. John O&rsquo;Keefe, as well as Dr. Michael&nbsp;Merzenich of the 免费福利资源在线看片 of California and Dr. Miguel&nbsp;Nicolelis, who you may recognize as the lead neuroscientist behind the 2014 FIFA Kick-off event,&rdquo; says Rachel Dombowsky, co-chair of the 2017 BMLS committee. &ldquo;The series was designed to promote scientific literacy and research awareness within the Lethbridge community by offering a public lecture as well as highlighting the quality of research that is taking place at the CCBN. The opportunity to interact with well-established researchers from other parts of the world helps graduate students build relationships and gain exposure to new ways of thinking.&rdquo;</p><p>Phillips&rsquo; research interests cover a wide range of topics in the field of preclinical neuropsychopharmacology and systems neuroscience, more specifically looking at motivation and emotion. His pioneering research, with H.C. Fibiger, laid the foundation for the role of dopamine in the neural control of motivation and memory, with its clinical implications for understanding biological correlates of addiction. He has a long-standing interest in applying knowledge concerning normal brain-behaviour function to understanding the neural bases of mental illness and addiction.</p><p>In addition to his free public lecture, Dr. Phillips will also be presenting an academic lecture, <em>A Role for Synaptic Long-Term Depression in Cognitive Flexibility</em>, on Wednesday, May 10 at 4 p.m. in EP1201.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-industryterm-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">IndustryTerm:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/industry-term/neuroscience" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">neuroscience</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/brenda-milner" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Brenda Milner</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/candace-burke" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Candace Burke</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/rachel-dombowsky" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Rachel Dombowsky</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/anthony-phillips" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Anthony Phillips</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="Brenda Milner Lecture Series to feature renowned researcher of mental health and addiction" class="rdf-meta"></span> Tue, 02 May 2017 21:56:46 +0000 trevor.kenney 8851 at /unews O'Keefe gives Brenda Milner address /unews/article/okeefe-gives-brenda-milner-address <div class="field field-name-field-op-author field-type-node-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="rnews:creator schema:creator"><div class="view view-openpublish-related-content view-id-openpublish_related_content view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-cb43185556019e7d40f5fa035bb73040"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <div class="views-field views-field-title"> <span class="views-label views-label-title">by</span> <span class="field-content"><a href="/unews/profile/trevor-kenney">Trevor Kenney</a></span> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-created"> <span class="field-content">May 12, 2010</span> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="rnews:articlebody schema:articleBody"> <p>Dr. John O'Keefe, professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at <a href="http://www.bartlett.ucl.ac.uk" rel="nofollow">免费福利资源在线看片 College London</a>, is known for his monumental discovery of 'place cells' within the region of the brain responsible for spatial navigation and memory.<br> <br> O'Keefe will deliver the 2010 Brenda Milner Lecture on Thursday, May 13 at 3 p.m. in PE261, 1st Choice Savings Centre for Sport and Wellness, at the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge.
