NIH seminars available online

/

Today during the Tsien lab meeting, one of the post-docs mentioned an online repository of video/postcasts of NIH events and seminars. Intrigued, I harnessed the power of Google to find the NIH VideoCasting and Podcasting website, brought to us by the Center for Information Technology. The website contains a library of seminars, recorded in both video and audio forms, on subjects in Neuroscience, Bioethics, Career Development, and Evolution and Medicine.

Some examples from the list of available Neuroscience seminars:

  • Molecular neurobiology of social bonding: implications for autism spectrum disorders, by Larry Young.
  • Selectivity of local circuits in the neocortex by Stanford's own Shaul Hestrin.
  • Receptors, Synapses and Memories by Richard "Not-to-be-confused-with-Huguenard" Huganir
  • Common Mechanisms of Axon Guidance, Axon Regeneration and Vascular Patterning by Marc Tessier-Lavigne
  • The Ins and Outs of Glutamate Receptor Synaptic Trafficking by Roger Nicoll
  • Plasticity and Processing in the Whisker Map in Rat Somatosensory Cortex by Dan Feldman.
  • Recurrent Inhibitory Circuits in the Cortex by Massimo Scanziani
  • Synaptic Plasticity: Multiple Mechanisms and Functions by Rob Malenka

The list goes on. In short, a rich repository of fascinating talks given by experts in the field of neuroscience.

Again, these talks are available online at the NIH VideoCasting Website.
