It's a wrap: presenting Dr. Dennisha King
Thursday, April 16, 2026
Dr. King presented and defended her work on 'The role of microglia in shaping neural development in the macaque amygdala.' Dennisha's work has added an amazing dimension to our understanding of primate amygala development and how disrupted maternal care sets up a long-lasting change in microglia in this region, with potential consequences for neural development and survival. We look forward to great things from her --she is on the job market!
Congratulations!
Daulton Myers presents at SFN 2025 Minisymposium
Tuesday, January 20, 2026
Neuropsychiatric disorders with ‘internalizing’ features such as depression and anxiety involve a brain region known as the ‘anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)’. Newer therapeutics build on previous knowledge of ACC structures to robustly ‘re-set’ brain circuits that do not function properly in these illnesses. Daulton Myers Co-Chaired and presented at our Minisymposium entitled ‘Circuit-based approaches to understanding the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)’. His talk demonstrated that different cortical and thalamic connectomes are afferent drivers of classic ACC subregions, which likely underpin different functional targets. Other speakers delineated ACC circuit outputs, and cellular and behavioral effects of the latest treatment approaches.
