E-mailNew York, March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Depression is a fundamentally episodic psychiatric disorder, but the mechanisms that drive mood-state transitions over time are not well understood. We hope you’ll join us for a free webinar, “Probing and Rescuing Dysfunctional Brain Circuits in Depression” on April 14, 2026 at 2:00pm ET., where Dr. Conor Liston will present findings from a series of parallel studies in preclinical mouse models and in patients with depression aimed at developing new treatment approaches by identifying the cellular and circuit-level mechanisms that initiate and sustain mood-state switches.
The guest speaker, Conor Liston, M.D., Ph.D., is a professor of psychiatry, developmental psychobiology and neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medical College. He is also a BBRF Scientific Council Member and a recipient of a 2013 Young Investigator Grant.
