This year\u2019s invited guest was Dr. Huda Akil<\/a>, the Co-Director and Research Professor at the Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Institute at the University of Michigan. Research in the Akil laboratory focuses on understanding the neurobiology of emotions, including pain, anxiety, depression and substance abuse. The event kicked-off with Breakfast with curriculum students. Then the seminar began with a packed audience with an Introduction from UNC Faculty Mentorship Award recipient, Dr. Mohanish Deshmukh. There were two Student Talks, the first Megan Morgan-Smith from Dr. Snider\u2019s lab on \u201cGSK-3 REgulates Migration and Morphogenesis of Cortical Neurons\u201d and the second from Reginald Cannady from Dr. Hodge\u2019s lab on \u201cPositive Modulation of Amygdala AMPA Receptors Selectively Potentiates Operant Alcohol Self-administration\u201d and finally Dr. Akil\u2019s talk on \u201cThe Depressed Brain: Here lies the Winter of Our Discontent.\u201d The successful day continued with Lunch with Students and Faculty, Poster and Award Session, Happy Hour and dinner at Aldo & Carol\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

Dr. Akil has since sent her thanks to the Neurobiology students, \u201cI want to thank you for your wonderful hospitality during my visit to UNC! It was truly memorable.
