Tuesdays@10 lectures are designed to bring together the neuroscience community at Columbia and catalyze the conversations and collaborations that advance the discipline. Gord Fishell, PhD, Professor of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School and the Broad Institute, will present on: Making up your mind: The integration of interneurons into cortical circuits.

Tuesdays@10 lectures are designed to bring together the neuroscience community at Columbia and catalyze the conversations and collaborations that advance the discipline. Speaker: Anne Brunet, PhD, Michele and Timothy Barakett Endowed Professor, Co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Laboratories for the Biology of Aging, Stanford University School of Medicine.

The meeting addresses an important need for a comprehensive, academic educational program providing the latest information on innovations, insights on the latest science, and translation of the science to patient care. The conference is also consistent with the national call of the Precision Medicine Initiative for health care providers to pursue new approaches that tailor treatment to the individual patient’s characteristics because patient response to conventional treatments for tremor is often variable; therefore, education on new surgical and medical advancements that account for individual differences can optimize outcomes for patients with tremor. In addition, to understand the heterogeneity of tremor disorders will help to design and conduct robust clinical trials to push forward therapy development. At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be better able to: • Formulate an evidence-based approach to optimize the treatment for tremor disorders. • Develop evidence-based scientific knowledge for the future clinical study design in tremor disorders. • Describe the up-do-date clinical diagnosis and treatment in each tremor disorder. • Indicate the cutting-edge scientific discovery for tremor and also current tremor therapy development.
