Silvio O. Conte Neuroscience Research Center

 
Vanderbilt Conte Center in the News Interactive brain exhibits open on September 22, 2011 at Vanderbilt Health, One Hundred Oaks. Developed by the Vanderbilt Brain Institute and the Silvio O. Conte Center for Neuroscience Research, the exhibits introduce guests to brain science and health, and the neuroscience research underway at Vanderbilt that creates understanding of mental illness and advances treatments. Read the full article at Research News at Vanderbilt and in the Vanderbilt Reporter. Read Science Daily and NPR’s coverage of Alex Bonnin and Pat Levitt’s research published in Nature, A transient placental source of serotonin for the fetal forebrain Nature, 2011 April 21 472(7343):347-50 Read about Randy Blakely’s research on a new animal model to assess how antidepressants work at Research News at Vanderbilt. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the research discusses an SSRI insensitive mouse model that illustrates different antidepressants interact with the serotonin transporter through different mechanisms. http://news.vanderbilt.edu/2011/09/brain-matters/http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/reporter/index.html?ID=11428http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/04/110421104516.htmhttp://www.npr.org/2011/04/20/135569520/babies-developing-brains-fed-by-placenta-not-momhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21512572http://news.vanderbilt.edu/2011/02/new-model-to-test-how-antidepressants-work/http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2011/01/25/1011920108.abstractshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1shapeimage_1_link_2shapeimage_1_link_3shapeimage_1_link_4shapeimage_1_link_5shapeimage_1_link_6

The Vanderbilt Silvio O. Conte Center for Neuroscience Research, established through funding from the National Institute of Mental Health and the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, supports research and training to elucidate gene, protein and cellular networks through which serotonin (5-HT) modulates brain development, signaling, plasticity and mental illness. 


The Conte Center currently supports the projects of six internationally recognized investigators at Vanderbilt, University of Southern California and Case Western Universities, as well as the pilot investigations of five junior investigators.  Core laboratories offer state of the art technologies and research support to facilitate interactions among Conte investigators, program consultants and collaborators.
