GGI Seminar Series “Brain Modulation and Performance”
Brain modulation and performance
Ryan Jankord, PhD
Research Physiologist
Air Force Research Laboratory
The goal of our research is to understand the biological mechanisms by which brain function and behavior are modulated. The presentation will focus on two current projects: 1) stress neurobiology, genetics and behavior; and 2) the biological mechanisms of brain stimulation. The purpose of the stress neurobiology research is to understand the biological effects of stress and to identify genetic factors that convey resiliency utilizing the BXD behavioral genetics model. The purpose of the brain stimulation research is to define the neurobiological mechanisms by which cognitive performance can be maintained or enhanced by non-invasive electrical stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation; tDCS). We have shown that tDCS can enhance the synaptic plasticity of the hippocampus, an important neuronal process for learning and memory, and are now defining the molecular changes that occur at the synapse following stimulation. The use of multiple approaches to affect brain and behavior allows us to gain a better appreciation of the underlying mechanisms by which brain function can be modulated.
