You are cordially invited to the scientific conferences of the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology<\/a> <\/u>. <\/p>\n

Date:<\/strong> Thursday, February 19, 2026 at 9 a.m.<\/p>\n

Location : <\/strong>Pavillon Paul-G. Desmarais Pavilion, room 1120 <\/p>\n

Speaker: Louis-Eric Trudeau, Ph.D., <\/strong>Professor, Departments of Pharmacology & Physiology and Neuroscience, Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/p>\n

Dopamine: a neurotransmitter discovered 70 years ago but still misunderstood.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This seminar will present some of the Trudeau laboratory’s recent discoveries on the mechanisms of dopamine secretion in the brain, and on the mechanisms involved in the death of these neurons in Parkinson’s disease. This work will serve to illustrate that this neurotransmitter remains an illustrious unknown to this day. <\/p>\n
