New research conducted by scientists with the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, and the Brown-NIH Graduate Partnership Program describes an in situ hybridization approach to mapping information about the transcriptomic diversity of somatosensory systems back to the tissue. Published in the journal Pain, the research substantiates the importance of a sensory neuron’s peripheral connections, as well as its transcriptomic class, in determining the neuron’s role in sensation.

The speaker for the lecture is Dr. Helen Burgess, Professor, Department of Psychiatry; Co-Director, Sleep and Circadian Research Laboratory, The University of Michigan. Natural outdoor light and artificial indoor light can affect our mental and physical health. This is especially relevant in the current times when we are asked to stay home and spend less time outside. Dr. Burgess will examine how light reaches the brain and can alter brain centers that regulate circadian (body clock) timing, sleep, and mood.
