SUMMARY:Lamport Lecture: Kathleen Cullen\, PhD (Johns Hopkins University)
DESCRIPTION:Predictive Neural Computations for Self-Motion\nHow does the brain distinguish self-generated motion from motion imposed by the external world? In this talk\, I will describe how predictive neural computations shape sensory processing during natural self-motion. Using a combination of systems neurophysiology\, computational modeling\, and behavior\, our work focuses on vestibular\, cerebellar\, and thalamocortical circuits operating in closed-loop interactions with the environment. I will show how internal predictions dynamically modulate neural responses\, suppressing predictable self-generated input while preserving sensitivity to unexpected motion. I will conclude by discussing implications for perception\, motor control\, and neuroprosthetic design.  \nDr. Kathleen Cullen\, PhD is a professor of Neuroscience\, Otolaryngology\, and Biomedical Engineering at John Hopkins University. \nhttps://www.bme.jhu.edu/people/faculty/kathleen-cullen/

SUMMARY:NBIO Presents: Asim Iqbal\, PhD\, (Tibbling Technologies)
DESCRIPTION:NeuroAI for Generalised Neurological Discovery\nThe mammalian brain exhibits a remarkable ability to generalize to novel tasks\, sensory modalities\, and environments using limited data and high energy efficiency. In contrast\, current AI systems rely on large-scale datasets\, operate within fixed input modalities\, and fail to build robust cross-domain representations\, resulting in poor generalization and performance degradation when adapting to new tasks. In this seminar\, I will introduce a NeuroAI architecture grounded in principles of neural computation\, designed to identify and embed these mechanisms within multimodal transformer models for neuroscientific applications. This architecture supports few-shot generalization across a range of brain disorders\, enabling applications in mechanistic discovery\, personalized rehabilitation\, and targeted therapeutic strategies

SUMMARY:NBIO Presents: Karina Cramer\, PhD (UC Irvine)
DESCRIPTION:Assembly of Auditory Brainstem Circuitry: The Roles of Microglia\nNeural circuits in the auditory brainstem require precise connections with highly specialized functions. How are these pathways assembled during development? We have explored the functions of microglia\, the brain’s resident immune cells. These cells enter the auditory nuclei early in development and help shape the mature synaptic connections. Removal of microglia results in impaired development and auditory function\, but microglial repopulation can restore these processes. We are looking into the mechanisms that microglia use to shape auditory circuitry.

SUMMARY:NBIO Presents: Mariko Bennett\, MD\, PhD (University of Pennsylvania)
DESCRIPTION:Living Drugs: Targeting microglia for neurotherapies\nMicroglia are the brain’s parenchymal macrophages\, operating at the interface of sentinel sensing and effector function. As both sculptors and defenders of neural circuits\, they offer an exceptional therapeutic opportunity. This talk will explore microglial form and function\, their contributions to rare neurological diseases\, and how emerging biology can be leveraged to develop microglia-targeted therapeutic strategies.
