 lic Vulnerabilities and Opportunities in Brain Function\n\nTalk Abstract: 
 Our brains are metabolically vulnerable\, as even brief interruptions in p
 roper fueling lead to rapid degradation in cognitive performance. My lab i
 dentified presynaptic function as one of the likely loci of this vulnerabi
 lity and has leveraged the sensitivity of synaptic vesicle recycling to me
 tabolic compromise to dissect the molecular underpinnings of how local ATP
  production is balanced during electrical activity in axons. Our work has 
 helped identify critical control points that in turn appear central to neu
 rodegenerative diseases and offer new therapeutic approaches to neurodegen
 eration.\n\nTimothy Ryan\n\nTimothy Ryan\, PhD is a Rockefeller/Sloan-Kett
