SUMMARY:Input transformations by dendritic spines of pyramidal neurons in h
 ealth and disease
DESCRIPTION:Conférence scientifique | Centre de recherche du CHU Sainte-Ju
 stine
\nConférence présentée par Roberto Araya\, PhD\, professeur sous 
 octroi agrégé\, Département de neurosciences\, Faculté de médecine\, 
 Université de Montréal.
\nInvité pour l'axe Cerveau et développement 
 de l'enfantBiographie : I was born in Santiago\, Chile on April 27th\, 197
 4.
\nIn 1997 I received a B.Sc. degree in Biology from Univ. Catolica de C
 hile. As a graduate student with Dr. Juan Saez\, from Univ. Catolica de Ch
 ile\, and Dr. Klaus Willecke from the University of Bonn\, I studied the r
 ole of purinergic signaling and gap junctions in the development and regen
 eration of skeletal muscles. I received my Ph.D. degree in Physiology in 2
 004 from Univ. Catolica de Chile. Upon completion of my graduate studies\,
  I switched to studying the Neocortex.
\nFrom May 2004 to August 2011 I sp
 ent my postdoctoral years at the laboratory of Dr. Rafael Yuste at Columbi
 a University as a PEW Postdoctoral Latin American Fellow. My postdoctoral 
 research was focused on elucidating the integrative properties of excitato
 ry synaptic inputs in cortical pyramidal neurons. Since September 2011 I a
 m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Universi
 ty of Montreal.
\nThe work in my laboratory is aimed at elucidating the a)
  input/output properties of neurons and b) the structure and function of d
 endritic spines and their role in information processing and plasticity of
  cortical circuits in health and disease.  We are taking a multifaceted a
 pproach to answering these questions\, using optical\, electrophysiologica
 l\, structural and molecular tools.
