In this talk\, I will describe our efforts to understand how changes in one neuronal sodi um channel gene\, SCN2A\, affects the development and function of the brai n and describe progress in implementing genetic therapies for SCN2A relate d disorders to rescue brain function.\n\nKevin Bender\n\nEndowed Chair in Neurology in Honor of the Gallo Family\n UCSF Weill Institute for Neuroscie nces\n\nKevin and his lab are interested in understanding how the brain en codes information at the synaptic\, cellular\, and network level and how t hese processes are altered in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric diso rders. We work closely with patient advocacy groups to better align our wo rk in model systems to the most pressing needs of people living with these disorders.\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
