DESCRIPTION:Dr. David Ginty\n\nEdward R. and Anne G. Lefler Professor of Ne
 urobiology\, Harvard Medical School\n	Investigator\, Howard Hughes Medical 
 Institute\n\nTo RSVP: at.theneuro.ca/albert-aguayo-2019-rsvp\n\nThe lectur
 e will be followed by a reception.\n\nSpeaker Bio\n\nDr. David Ginty recei
 ved his PhD degree in physiology from East Carolina University in 1989 and
  did postdoctoral research on neuronal signalling mechanisms with John Wag
 ner and Michael Greenberg at Harvard Medical School. In 1995 he became a f
 aculty member in the Department of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins Universit
 y. In 2013 he returned to the Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medica
 l School\, where he is currently the associate director of Harvard’s Progr
 am in Neuroscience. Ginty is an elected member of the National Academy of 
 Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.\n\nResearch in Dr.
  Ginty’s laboratory addresses the development\, organization\, and functio
 n of neural circuits that underlie the perception of touch. His laboratory
  has generated an array of mouse genetic tools that have enabled visualiza
 tion\, targeted electrophysiological recordings\, and functional manipulat
 ion of primary sensory neuron subtypes. This work has revealed mechanisms 
 of development\, functions\, and organizational properties of the major su
 btypes of low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) as well as the CNS circui
 ts they engage for touch perception.\n\nThis annual lecture honours Dr. Al
 bert Aguayo\, OC\, FRCP\, Professor Emeritus founder and former Director o
 f the Centre for the Research in Neuroscience at McGill University. He is 
 a former President of the Society for Neurosciences and the Canadian Assoc
 iation of Neuroscience. Dr. Aguayo also held the positions of Secretary Ge
 neral and President of the International Brain Research Organization ( IBR
 O) and  been a member of many international advisory committees and editor
 ial boards. He holds honorary degrees from the Universities of Lund (Swede
 n)\, Cordoba ( Argentina) and Queen’s and Dalhousie in Canada. Albert Agua
 yo’s scientific contributions concerned the regenerative capacity of the a
 dult mammalian central nervous system\n
