SUMMARY:The Havana Syndrome:  A Disorder of Neuropolitics?
DESCRIPTION:In one of the most extraordinary cases in the history of science\, the mating calls of insects were mistaken for a “sonic weapon” that led to a major diplomatic row. The lecture will trace the origins of the syndrome\, the response of the U.S. government\, the results of scientific investigations and opinions\, the evolution of the syndrome over time and similar phenomena that have occurred in the past. \nRobert W. Baloh\, MD is Professor of Neurology and Head and Neck Surgery (Emeritus) at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Author of 14 books and more than 350 articles in peer-reviewed journals\, he is a pioneer in the study of the vestibular system and clinical neurotology. He has a recent book on Havana Syndrome co-authored with Robert Bartholomew\, a sociologist from New Zealand. Two other recent books are: “Medically Unexplained Symptoms” and “Exercise and the Brain”.

SUMMARY:Natalie E. Zlebnik – ICAN Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:ICAN Seminar Series\nThursday\, June 1\, 2023 at 11:00am\nThe seminar will be live streamed via Zoom and In-Person.\nZOOM LINK HERE \n \nNatalie E. Zlebnik\, PhD\nDivision of Biomedical Sciences\, University of California\, Riverside School of Medicine \n“Adolescent cannabinoid exposure: effects on dopamine system development and cocaine-motivated behavior”\nAbstract: Cannabis is the most commonly abused illicit drug among adolescents\, and excessive use in this population is associated with the development of psychiatric conditions\, including drug addiction. Adolescence is a critical period for the refinement and organization of neuronal connectivity\, especially within the mesocorticolimbic dopamine circuity. In particular\, dysregulation of the guidance cue receptor\, Dcc\, in ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons disrupts spatiotemporal targeting of dopamine axons to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). We have previously demonstrated that exposure to amphetamine in early adolescence disrupts the development of dopamine circuitry development\, leading to alterations in cognitive processing and drug seeking in adulthood. Here\, we examine whether exposure to the synthetic cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R) agonist WIN-55\,212-2 (WIN) in early adolescence regulates Dcc mRNA expression in the VTA and induces alterations in drug-motivated behaviors and in dopamine function in adulthood. Preliminary findings demonstrate that adolescent exposure to WIN downregulates the Dcc receptor in the VTA and disrupts organization of mesocorticolimbic dopamine circuitry. Additionally\, WIN-treated mice display aberrant self-administration of cocaine in the absence of other behavioral impairments. Ongoing experiments will elucidate functional changes in cocaine-evoked phasic dopamine release in the NAc and mPFC. Overall\, these findings support that repeated exposure to a CB1R agonist in adolescence impacts mesocorticolimbic dopamine system maturation and may have important implications for dopamine-mediated learning and psychostimulant-motivated behavior later in life. \nBio: Natalie Zlebnik\, PhD\, is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Biomedical Sciences in the School of Medicine. She earned her doctorate in Neuroscience from the University of Minnesota\, and her postdoctoral fellowship was completed at the University of Maryland School of Medicine\, where her investigations focused on the role of the endocannabinoid system in normal reward-motivated behaviors and its therapeutic role in disorders of reward seeking. Her independent research program examines how drugs of abuse exploit neural mechanisms of motivated behavior to promote relapse and facilitate the transition to drug addiction. The goal is to identify molecular and circuit-level targets for the development of novel therapeutics to reduce drug craving and minimize the propensity to relapse.

DESCRIPTION:Join the UCI Center for Neuropolitics for their lecture with Darren Schreiber\, PhD\, JD\, Senior Lecturer in Politics at the University of Exeterin. \nGuess Who’s Coming to Dinner in 2024? How Partisan Identity Politics is Taking Over America \nThe past twenty years have demonstrated the role of biology in our political predispositions\, with evidence from twin studies\, genetics\, and brain imaging. Recent trends have highlighted political polarization on an emotional\, identity-driven level where the other side is seens as a hated enemy. The consequences have ranged from increasing dissatisfaction with democracy to a rise in violent extremism.

SUMMARY:2024 Second Annual Symposium for the Center for Neurotherapeutics
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the Symposium will be to familiarize attendees with the UCI Center for\nNeurotherapeutics and introduce attendees to the exciting translational\nneuroscience research happening right on our campus and in labs across the country. We\nhope that attendees will: \n\nLearn about the vision that drives us at the UCI Center for Neurotherapeutics and our\nongoing effort to advance drug development on campus.\nBecome acquainted with cutting-edge approaches being applied to develop innovative\nmodels and novel therapeutic solutions for neurological diseases. Lecture topics will\ninclude drug discovery and high-throughput screening methods to identify rational\ndrug targets. Experts from diverse disciplines will explain how they are tackling the\nchallenge of delivering small molecules and biological agents across the blood-brain\nbarrier.\nAppreciate the many opportunities for cross-disciplinary interaction and collaboration\nin this field. Our number one core value at the UCI Center for Neurotherapeutics is to\npromote collaboration across campus\, especially between faculty in the physical\nsciences and the biological sciences. We believe that only by combining such multi-\ndisciplinary expertise and diverse perspectives will it be possible to unlock new\navenues of discovery and accelerate progress toward developing meaningful solutions\nfor therapy development.\n\nOur exceptional line-up of guest speakers and UCI faculty speakers include: \n\nAnabella Villalobos (Biogen); Neurological/Rare Disease Therapies\nDonna Huryn (University of Pennsylvania); Academic Drug Discovery Challenges\nEthan Lippmann (Vanderbilt); siRNA Brain Delivery via Albumin\nSu Guo (UC San Francisco); GPCR Targeting in Parkinson’s\nHang Lu (Georgia Tech); Microtechnology & AI in Drug Screening\n Errol Arkilic (UC Irvine); Beall Applied Innovation\nLeslie Thompson (UC Irvine); Huntington’s Disease Treatment Advances\nJennifer Prescher (UC Irvine); Nature-Inspired Imaging Tools\nChristopher Hughes (UC Irvine); Blood-Brain Barrier Neurovascular Model\nMelanie Cocco (UC Irvine); Voxelotor for Red Blood Cell Modulation\n\nWhether you are a student\, postdoctoral trainee\, faculty member\, or staff member\, we\nencourage you to join us\, so please mark your calendars! \nRegistration is free! \nPlease register by Friday\, September 27\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Lisa Feldman Barrett\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:The McGaugh-Gerard Lecture on Learning and Memory will host guest speaker Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett\, University Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University. \nThree Lessons About the Brain \n  \nEver wonder how your brain really works? Join us for the 3rd Annual McGaugh-Gerard Lecture on Learning and Memory by Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett\, an author and expert in psychology and neuroscience\, as she breaks down three key ideas about the brain’s inner workings. In this talk\, you’ll learn: \n\nHow your brain’s most important job is keeping your body running smoothly.\nHow your brain is constantly predicting what will happen next rather than reacting to the world.\nHow feeling and thinking and even seeing follow from your brain’s plan for action; your brain prepares your behavior first and creates your lived experience in the process.\n\nDr. Barrett will show how these brain functions affect how you feel\, how you think\, and what you do.
