There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: Seung Bae Lee and Molly Ogle presenting
Full Summary: The Graduate and Post-Doc (GaP) Seminar Series is a weekly event of research presentations by two graduate students or post-docs conducting bio-related research. The series is organized and sponsored by the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience (IBB) with additional support from the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering. It is held every Wednesday at 12:00pm in IBB 1128 and refreshments are provided. If your research group or department would like to present at future seminars, please contact Manu Platt, PhD.

"Wireless Implantable Neural Recording System"
This talk introduces a multi-channel wireless implantable neural recording (WINeR) system for electrophysiology and behavioral neuroscience research applications. The WINeR system was used to record epileptic activities from a rat. In a different in vivo experiment, place-specific firing fields of place cells, which are parts of the hippocampal-dependent memory, were mapped from a series of behavioral experiments from a rat.

"Therapeutic Manipulation of Cellular Oxygen-sensing Pathways after Stroke"
Stroke is a leading cause of death in the US however few effective treatments are available. The evolutionarily conserved adaptive response to low oxygen is a potent protective signaling pathway and novel therapeutic target. We show that pharmacological activation of oxygen-sensing pathways after stroke provides a potentially clinically applicable acute therapeutic intervention for the promotion of neuronal cell survival after ischemia.
