Translating High-Resolution Devices to Understand Cognition and Neuropathologies in the Human Brain

Presented By: Angelique C. Paulk, PhD Speaker Biography: Angelique C Paulk currently works as an Instructor at the Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, Massachusetts carrying out research in neurophysiology, neuroscience, and behavior focused on understanding the neural underpinnings of behavior leading to treatments in neurological and neuropsychiatric disease. Through undergraduate and Masters’ Thesis work at Cornell University, a Ph.D. at the University of Arizona, a first postdoctoral position at the Queensland Brain Institute in Australia, and work at MGH, Dr. Paulk's approach has been built on an intentional multidisciplinary approach founded on technological development and utilization in the context of robust science predicated on careful observation followed by hypothesis testing. Past projects include understanding vision and attention in insects and the TRANSFORM DBS funded by the DARPA SUBNETs program which involved using closed loop stimulation to neuromodulate cognitive flexibility in humans. Dr. Paulk currently works with intracranial data to study neural and cognitive processing in the human brain recorded using intracranial electrodes, including investigating the mechanisms of how direct electrical stimulation alters neural processing and behavior. Webinar: Translating High-Resolution Devices to Understand Cognition and Neuropathologies in the Human Brain Webinar Abstract: Current microelectrode recordings have provided incredible insight into how the brain works, human cognition, and neural pathologies in the past 30 years, with clinical implications and uses (DBS and neuroprosthetics). The latest technologies, such as Neuropixels, have improved our spatial resolution, moving from 150 µm to 20-50 µm contact-to-contact spacing with improvements in customization. We use these high resolution recordings in human neurophysiology could provide novel and important insights into normal circuits, how those circuits participate in cognition and behavior, and how those circuits are impaired in pathology. I will discuss our 10 year journey to bring these devices into the clinical space, what they might be starting to tell us about the human brain, neuroethical considerations in this path to translation, and some future directions in uncovering answers and maybe even questions we didn't know to ask without these devices.
