  1. BME-LIFESCI-INOVITA-ISEK JOINT SEMINAR (2014-SPR-10) 27 May (Tue)Time: 14.00 - 16.00@ Room AZ-19, BME-TAM Bldg, B.U. Kandilli Campus Pyramidal NeuronFunction: Computational Models & in vitro Neurodegeneration Pınar ÖZ Guest Researcher/Instructor, Bogazici University BME Pyramidal neurons are the most common type of excitatory cells in neorticalregions and hippocampus. The ability to modulate pyramidal neuron function in response to behavioral state or as a long-term response to prior activation as a mechanism of learning emphasizetheir crucial role in the proper functioning of the brain. Their abundance in cortical regions also suggest that their proper function is essential for cognitive processes andtheir dysfunction might lead to cognitive impairents, associated with disorders like Alzheimer’s Disease and schizophrenia. Therefore, it’s crucial to understand their function as a single cell to understand the network response properties of cortex and hippocampus. This talk will focus on (1) action potential generation in cortical pyramidal neurons and how to simulate them, and (2) hippocampal pyramidal neuron morphology and function in neurodegenerative diseases and how to design in vitro models of pyramidal neuron degeneration.
