Dr. Joanna Steinglass: March 6th, 2018
"Neurobiology of the Persistence of Anorexia Nervosa: Why So Stuck?"

William K. Warren, Jr.  Frontiers in Neuroscience Lecture
Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital Conference Center
11:00am - 11:45 am    Registration and Lunch, lunch stops being served at 11:45 - no exceptions
12:00pm - 1:00pm     Program

Dr. Joanna Steinglass is the Florence Irving Associate Professor in Clinical Psychiatry and the Director of Translational Research in Eating Disorders at the Center for Eating Disorders at Columbia University Medical Center and the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Dr. Steinglass graduated from Amherst College and received her medical degree from Harvard Medical School. She completed her psychiatry training and an NIMH-sponsored research fellowship in eating disorders at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and New York State Psychiatric Institute. Dr. Steinglass has had NIMH and private foundation support since 2006. The focus of her work is both the cognitive neuroscience of anorexia nervosa, and the development of mechanism-based treatments.

Three Learning Objectives:
 
  1. To understand the role of dietary restriction in anorexia nervosa
  2. To provide information about treatment outcomes
  3. To understand neural mechanisms of maladaptive behavior

Feinstein Laboratory Publishes Float Study in PLoS One

The Laureate Institute for Brain Research (LIBR) is excited to announce the PLoS One publication of the 1st float study ever conducted in patients suffering from both anxiety and depression. 

This open-label trial from Dr. Justin Feinstein's Float Clinic and Research Center at LIBR in 50 patients provides an initial proof-of-principle study showing that 1-hour of float therapy can provide significant short-term relief from symptoms of stress and anxiety across a range of different conditions including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.  

More than resolving symptoms of mental illness, the experience greatly enhanced mental wellness, leaving patients in a peaceful serene state afterwards.  This mood-enhancing effect of floatation was especially notable given that most of the patients had comorbid depression. 

It is important to emphasize that this was an open-label study examining the short-term effects of floating.  We are now tracking the time course of these effects as well as studying whether or not there is evidence for long-term benefit following repeated practice.

WKW Frontiers in Neuroscience- Dr. Joshua Gordon

Dr. Joshua A. Gordon: February 20, 2018
"Challenges and Opportunities in Mental Health Research"

William K. Warren, Jr.  Frontiers in Neuroscience Lecture

Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital Conference Center
11:00am - 11:45 am    Registration and Lunch, lunch stops being served at 11:45 - no exceptions
12:00pm - 1:00pm     Program

Joshua A. Gordon, M.D., Ph.D. pursued a combined MD/PhD degree at the University of
California, San Francisco. Medical school coursework in psychiatry and neuroscience convinced
him that the greatest need, and greatest promise, for biomedical science was in these areas.
During his Ph.D. thesis with Dr. Michael Stryker, Dr. Gordon pioneered the methods necessary
to study brain plasticity in the mouse visual system.

Upon completion of the dual degree program at UCSF, Dr. Gordon went to Columbia University
for his Psychiatry residency and research fellowship because of the breadth and depth of the
research opportunities here. Working with Dr. Rene Hen, Dr. Gordon and colleagues studied the
role of the hippocampus, a brain structure known to be important for memory, in emotional
processes such as anxiety and depression. He joined the Columbia faculty in 2004 as an
Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry.

Dr. Gordon’s research focuses on the analysis of neural activity in mice carrying mutations of
relevance to psychiatric disease. His lab studies genetic models of these diseases from an
integrative neuroscience perspective, focused on understanding how a given disease mutation
leads to a behavioral phenotype across multiple levels of analysis. To this end, he employs a
range of systems neuroscience techniques, including in vivo anesthetized and awake behaving
recordings and optogenetics, which is the use of light to control neural activity. His work has
direct relevance to schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and depression.

Three learning objectives:
 
  1. Understand the role of the NIMH in supporting neuroscience and psychiatry research.
  2. Understand how neural circuit approaches hold promises for advancing understanding and novel treatments for mental illnesses.
  3. Understand how computational approaches hold promises for advancing understanding and novel treatments for mental illnesses.
