In this seminar\, data will be presented to support the novel hypothesis that ste roid receptors acting on their target genes provide an explanation\, and f ocus on the gene for brain-derived neurotrophic factor\, a neurotrophin kn own for its influence on neurodevelopment and the mature brain. The result s shed light not only on epilepsy but also many aspects of normal function and diverse neurological and psychiatric disorders.\n\nHelen E. Scharfman \n\nNew York University Grossman School of Medicine and The Nathan Kline I nstitute for Psychiatric Research\n\nDr. Scharfman has contributed broadly in basic and translational neuroscience. She has served on numerous advis ory boards for national and international organizations\, such as the Amer ican Epilepsy Society\, the Epilepsy Foundation\, Citizens United for Rese arch on Epilepsy\, and Parents Against Childhood Epilepsy.\n DTSTART:20260609T200000Z DTEND:20260609T210000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, The Neuro\, Montreal Neurologi cal Institute\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Killam Seminar Series: The role of BDNF in hormonal regulation of s eizures in temporal lobe epilepsy URL:/arts/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-role-bd nf-hormonal-regulation-seizures-temporal-lobe-epilepsy-372666 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
