Get to know HBHL-supported faculty recruits f irsthand\, learn about their research\, ask questions and network with you r peers during the post-event reception.\n\nEach event in this series will feature two HBHL faculty recruits whose research areas provide an interes ting contrast or intersection for discussion.\n\nMarch Speakers: \n\n\n Apa rna Suvrathan - 'Not all synapses are equal: Diversity and plasticity in t he cerebellum'\n Rachel Rabin - “Advancing treatment targets for addiction: Mapping the road to recovery”\n Q&A moderated by HBHL Scientific Director  Alan Evans\n\n\nSecure your spot today!\n\n\nSpeakers\n\nAparna Suvrathan\ , PhD\n\nAparna Suvrathan is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Rese arch in Neuroscience at VRƵ. She is affiliated with the Depa rtment of Neurology and Neurosurgery\, the Department of Pediatrics and th e Research Institute of the VRƵ Health Centre. She received her PhD at the National Centre for Biological Sciences\, Bangalore\, India \, where she investigated the role of the amygdala in Fragile X syndrome a nd in affective disorders. Aparna then did postdoctoral research at Stanfo rd University\, where her work described the timing rules for plasticity i n the cerebellum. Her lab’s focus is on the mouse cerebellum\, where they investigate how synaptic properties and plasticity shape circuit function and behaviour\, both in health and in disease.\n\nRachel Rabin\, PhD\n\nRa chel Rabin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Mc Gill University and a Researcher at the Douglas Research Centre. Her resea rch program is dedicated to elucidating the clinical\, cognitive and neura l consequences of addictive substances\, particularly cannabis\, with the overarching goal of informing the development of more effective treatments for people with substance use disorders. Her lab takes a multimodal appro ach\, integrating comprehensive clinical and cognitive assessments with ne uroimaging (MRI\, PET) and biological measures. Using controlled abstinenc e paradigms\, they examine the longitudinal trajectory of SUDs to identify predictors of relapse and map the time-course of recovery. This work not only reveals potential therapeutic targets but also pinpoints optimal inte rvention windows\, with direct implications for improving treatment strate gies.  \n DTSTART:20260325T203000Z DTEND:20260325T223000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, Montreal Neurological Institut e\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Neurogenesis Speaker Series: March Edition URL:/drs/channels/event/neurogenesis-speaker-series-ma rch-edition-371170 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
