In this talk\, I will d escribe our efforts to understand how changes in one neuronal sodium chann el gene\, SCN2A\, affects the development and function of the brain and de scribe progress in implementing genetic therapies for SCN2A related disord ers to rescue brain function.\n\nKevin Bender\n\nEndowed Chair in Neurolog y in Honor of the Gallo Family\n UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences\n\n Kevin and his lab are interested in understanding how the brain encodes in formation at the synaptic\, cellular\, and network level and how these pro cesses are altered in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. W e work closely with patient advocacy groups to better align our work in mo del systems to the most pressing needs of people living with these disorde rs.\n DTSTART:20260505T200000Z DTEND:20260505T210000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, The Neuro\, Montreal Neurologi cal Institute\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Killam Seminar Series: Sodium channel dysfunction in neurodevelopme ntal disorders URL:/neuro/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-sodium -channel-dysfunction-neurodevelopmental-disorders-372039 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
