On Thursday November 15, 2007 we recorded episode 3 of Neuroscientists Talk Shop. Our guest was William Ross, who was, and still is, Professor in the Department of Physiology at New York Medical College, Valhalla. We talked to Bill about imaging techniques for neurophysiology, especially calcium imaging, which he helped to found and develop It is wonderful, from today’s perspective, to see how he was able to envision the developments that have happened in the meantime and it is a joy to take this retrospective look at one of our earliest podcasts. Guest: William Ross, Professor of Neurophysiology, New York Medical College, Valhalla. https://www.nymc.edu/faculty/directory/by-name/ross-william/ Participating: Carlos Paladini, Dept. of Biology, UTSA Fidel Santamaria, Dept. of Biology, UTSA Charles Wilson, Dept. of Biology, UTSA Host: Salma Quraishi, Dept. of Biology UTSA Original Bill Ross Podcast: http://snrp.utsa.edu/Podcast/Entries/2007/11/15_William_Ross%2C_PhD.html Neuroscientists Talk Shop podcast: https://snrp.utsa.edu Our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtAQBIwN6H8N5D-zSjPhp0jkok9sGtAeI UTSA Neurosciences Institute: https://neuroscience.utsa.edu UTSA Brain Health Consortium https://www.utsa.edu/bhc
On April 28, 2020 we met with Hojoon Lee to discuss taste receptors, their constant turnover, and the need for the taste system to constantly recreate the specificity of connections between taste receptors and the brain.
