SUMMARY:Li Zhang\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:“Neural circuits for valence coding\, emotional states\, and motivated behaviors” \nJoin the UCI Center for Neural Circuit Mapping in a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Li Zhang of USC Medical School. \nAbstract: \nThe topic is about our recent studies on neural circuits in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) of the hypothalamus. MPOA plays a critical role in parental and prosocial behaviors via subpopulations of its GABAergic neurons. We now show that MPOA can be more generally viewed to serve as a critical hub to mediate both negative and positive emotional states and related behaviors through its glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons\, respectively\, with the former encoding extremely negative valence and mediating anxiety-like behaviors\, and the latter\, oppositely\, encoding positive valence and producing rewarding effects.  I will discuss the circuitry underlying how MPOA coordinately and antagonistically mediates behaviors related to different emotional states.
