March Neurogenesis talks explore brain mechanisms in food choice and computational modelling

admin — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 19:43:01 +0000

Last week, HBHL hosted the third talk of the 2024-2025 Neurogenesis Speaker Series at the Neuro, featuring Dana Small and Yashar Zeighami.

Dana Small’s presentation, "The Interoceptive Origins of Reward," explored how biological signals are integrated to determine food choice, while Yashar Zeighami’s talk, "Fine-Tuning Neuroimaging Analysis to Reveal Hidden Insights," highlighted his research into the development of multi-scale computational models of brain anatomy.

SEX CELLS! On the importance of sex and gender in brain health

Visualizing how polarons form in the best thermoelectric material yet developed

angadh.verma@mcgill.ca — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 18:52:36 +0000

Thermoelectrics can generate electrical power from waste heat and could make an important contribution to sustainable energy production if their efficiency is improved. Engineering efficient thermoelectrics, however, requires a sophisticated understanding of the fundamental interdependencies between electrical and thermal transport, for which improvements in our understanding of how charge carriers are coupled to lattice vibrations (phonons) is needed.

Liquid-Liquid Crystalline Phase Separation of Amyloid Fibrils

lynda.bray@mcgill.ca — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 15:34:11 +0000

Liquid-Liquid phase separation of macromolecules is ubiquitous in nature and implies, in the most common form, the demining of a macromolecule rich-phase (often as droplets) from a macromolecules-depleted continuous phase.

Water-based and defect free 2D material inks: from printed electronics to biomedical applications

lynda.bray@mcgill.ca — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 14:33:38 +0000

Solution processing of 2D materials allows simple and low-cost techniques, such as ink-jet printing, to be used for fabrication of heterostructure-based devices of arbitrary complexity.

Renewable Nanoparticles in Superstructured and Multiphase Materials
