Meet Your 2022 Speakers

Dr. Cassandra Sampaio Baptista is an assistant professor (Lecturer) in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience, head of the Plasticity lab at the University of Glasgow (PLUG) and a member of the Wellcome centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (WIN), University of Oxford. She uses a multidisciplinary approach to investigate functional and structural brain plasticity, from the cellular level to systems level, in healthy and clinical populations. For instance, her lab uses behavioural interventions and techniques to modulate brain activity to induce effects on the human brain, that can be detected with multimodal MRI. Additionally, her lab uses preclinical MRI to investigate the underlying cellular mechanisms of brain plasticity in rodents.

Prof. Emily S. Cross is a cognitive neuroscientist based jointly at the University of Glasgow’s Institute for Neuroscience and Psychology (Glasgow, Scotland) and Macquarie University’s Department of Cognitive Science (Sydney Australia). As the director of the Social Brain in Action Laboratory, she combines interactive learning paradigms and fMRI with dance, acrobatics and robots to explore how embodied experience and learning shape how we perceive and interact with others. Emily received undergraduate and graduate degrees in the USA, was a Fulbright Fellow in New Zealand, and completed postdoctoral training in the UK and Germany. Her work has been funded by a number of national and international organisations, including the European Research Council, National Institutes of Health, Economic and Social Research Council, Ministry of Defence, and Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research.

Dr. Stan Floresco a Professor of Psychology at University of British Columbia and is a member of the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health. He earned his PhD in Biopsychology and Behavioral Neuroscience from the University of British Columbia and did his postdoctoral training in the field of dopamine neurophysiology in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Floresco attended his first IBNS meeting in 2008 and has organized several symposium sessions since. Dr. Floresco’s research program investigates neural circuits and underlying neurochemistry that facilitate different forms of learning and cognition, and how dysfunction in these circuits relates to deficits observed in mental illness. His emphasis is on interactions between different brain regions within the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system that facilitate cognitive processes, such as behavioural flexibility, cost/benefit decision making and reward-related learning. Using psychopharmacological, neurochemical, electrophysiological and optogenetic techniques, his laboratory has identified novel roles for prefrontal-striatal, amygdalar and dopaminergic circuits in regulating cognitive flexibility and decision making. His research program has received the American Psychological Association award for Distinguished Scientific Early Career Contributions and the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology’s Efron award for Outstanding Basic Research. He currently serves as associate editor for Neuropsychopharmacology, Psychopharmacology, Cognitive, Affective and Behavioral Neuroscience and Brain Research, and is a fellow of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology.

Dr. Narayanan is the Juanita J. Bartlett professor of Neurology Research and Vice Chair for Basic and Translational Research in the Department of Neurology at the Carver College of Medicine in the University of Iowa. He also is an Associate Professor an Associate Director of the Iowa Neuroscience Institute, and Associate Director of the Clinical Neuroscience Training Program.
He is originally from Seattle, Washington. He received BA from Stanford University and received an MD and PhD from Yale Medical School, where he also completed a residency in neurology. He came to the University of Iowa in 2012 to launch his lab studying the basic mechanisms of prefrontal dopamine. He leads a multidisciplinary clinic focused on Parkinson's disease.
He received the Donald B. Lindsley Prize for the best dissertation from the Society for Neuroscience, the S. Weir Mitchell Award for best residency research from the American Academy of Neurology, and the Jon Stolk Award for movement disorders research from the American Academy of Neurology.

Elizabeth Tunbridge is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford. Her research uses information from psychiatric genomic studies to understand mechanisms of disease and to identify potential therapeutic targets. She uses a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to understand how individual genes function at the molecular, cellular and systems level, how these neural mechanisms relates to behaviours relevant to psychiatry, and how they might be manipulated to remediate the symptoms that patients experience.

Christian Keysers is full professor for Social Neuroscience at the University of Amsterdam and leads, together with Valeria Gazzola, the Social Brain Lab at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience. His work combines rodent and human work to understand social behavior and its disfunctions. Highlights of his work include the discovery of auditory mirror neurons in monkeys; the demonstration that humans recruit brain regions involved in their own actions, emotions and sensations while witnessing those of others and that these vicarious activations are reduced in psychopathy. More recently, his lab focuses on rodent models of emotional contagion to study the cellular basis of the mammalian sensitivity to the emotions of others. This lead to the discovery that the cingulate, central to human empathy, contains emotional mirror neurons in rats, and that deactivating this region reduces emotional contagion and harm aversion. His work was cited >30,000 times. He is an ERC laureate, member of the Academia Europaea, Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science and authored of the award-winning book The Empathic Brain.
