SUMMARY:How Educational Inequities in the U.S. South Pre- and Post-Brown Shape Dementia Risk for Black and White Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Although education is a key determinant of cognitive function\, its role in determining Black-White disparities in cognitive function is unclear. This may be due\, in part\, to data limitations that have made it difficult to account for systemic educational inequities in the U.S. South experienced by older adults. In this talk\, guest speaker and health policy expert Dr. Katrina Walsemann of the University of Maryland\, College Park\, will present results from her ongoing projects funded by the NIA and the Alzheimer’s Association. RSVP >>

SUMMARY:Linking Brain Function to Cell Types and Circuits
DESCRIPTION:This two-day in-person conference will take place at the Beckman Center in Irvine\, CA. An in-person conference is not only an avenue for scientists to share their research with their peers\, but also an avenue for engaged discussions and networking. Such an event offers intellectual stimulation and rewarding experiences that a virtual\, online meeting can not offer. \nThere is a $175 fee for UCI affiliates and $189 fee for general admission required to cover the conference\, food and beverage expenses. Please register early due to our capacity of hosting ~120 attendees. Conference attendees are encouraged to submit a 1-page abstract (<500 words) by July 5. The attendee abstracts submitted will be selected for short talks or poster presentations. Use the link above to submit. \nWe will work with the Beckman staff to implement proper guidelines to ensure that this conference will be a safe and healthy event. This will involve social distancing\, temperature screens\, and masks inside the building (masks policy continue to change\, we will keep all attendees informed). All speakers and participants must show proof of a Covid-19 vaccination upon entering the building. Submit proof of vaccination here.

SUMMARY:Examining Mothers' Reflections on the Birth and Diagnosis of their Child with Down Syndrome: A Mixed Methods Approach
DESCRIPTION:Please join the UCI Center for Aging Research in Down Syndrome (CFAR-DS) Seminar Series Friday\, February 24 at 11:00 AM PT with a presentation by Angela Lukowski\, Ph.D. titled Examining Mothers’ Reflections on the Birth and Diagnosis of their Child with Down Syndrome: A Mixed Methods Approach. \n  \nAngela Lukowski\, Ph.D.\, is an Associate Professor of Psychological Science at the University of California\, Irvine. Her work focuses on children with developmental disabilities that co-occur with structural damage to regions of the brain implicated in higher-level cognitive processes. Most recently\, she and her colleagues have been studying whether mothers of children with Down syndrome (DS) differentially process and reflect on the diagnosis and birth of their child based on the timing of their child’s DS diagnosis (during gestation or after birth). Dr. Lukowski will present quantitative data from mothers’ narratives of these events (e.g.\, use of cognition and emotion terms\, event ratings) along with qualitative data focusing on mothers’ uncertainty management and resilience. Implications and future directions will be discussed. \n  \nThis event will be hosted via Zoom. If you’d like to attend\, please Register Here and a Zoom link will be emailed to you.

SUMMARY:James L. McGaugh Distinguished Seminar Series with Dr. Elizabeth Gould
DESCRIPTION:Sex differences in early life adversity effects on hippocampal plasticity\n\nDr. Elizabeth Gould\nDepartment of Psychology\nPrinceton Neuroscience Institute \nHybrid Event\nThis seminar will be live-streamed via Zoom and In-Person. \nIn-Person: \nHerklotz Conference Room\nCenter for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory\n300 Qureshey Research Lab\nRSVP for Zoom Link\nAbstract: \nEarly life adversity (ELA) increases the likelihood of neuropsychiatric disease\, including anxiety and mood disorders. Sex differences exist in the incidence of these conditions\, and types of ELA are known to produce differential vulnerabilities. My talk will focus on our efforts to use two different mouse models of ELA to explore plasticity mechanisms underlying sex differences in behavioral outcomes. We found that an ELA model of neglect\, but not one of abuse\, increases ventral hippocampal-dependent avoidance behavior in both males and females. Overall\, females exhibit greater avoidance than males\, with further increases observed after ELA only during the diestrus phase of the estrous cycle. Increases in avoidance in ELA females during diestrus are likely related to diminished conversion of progesterone to the neurosteroid allopregnanolone in the ventral hippocampus. These changes are coincident with increased power of theta oscillations and altered composition of perineuronal nets\, extracellular matrix structures known to limit plasticity\, around parvalbumin-positive inhibitory interneurons. Sex differences are also observed in response to two types of ELA on social recognition\, another function that involves the hippocampus. Males\, but not females\, show deficits in social memory after exposure to ELA models of neglect or abuse. Despite these similarities within males\, underlying mechanisms differ depending on the type of ELA experienced. ELA-neglect reduced the number of stem cells and adult-born neurons in the hippocampus. This effect seems causally linked to social recognition deficits because chemogenetic stimulation of adult-born neurons in ELA-neglect mice restores this function.  By contrast\, ELA-abuse does not affect the number of adult-born neurons but increases perineuronal nets in the CA2 region. Collectively\, these findings highlight how sex and ELA type are important determinants of hippocampal plasticity and behavioral outcomes. \nFor more information please check out: https://gouldlab.princeton.edu/

SUMMARY:Krishna Jayant\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:The department of Anatomy & Neurobiology will host guest speaker Dr. Krishna Jayant\, an assistant professor from Purdue University. \nA translaminar space-time code supports touch-evoked traveling waves \nTraveling waves in mammalian cortex mediate vital aspects of animal cognition\, such as stimuli perception and working memory. Theoretical results suggest that these waves preserve timing and are critical for plasticity across long-range neural circuits. Therefore\, revealing the circuit mechanisms underlying sensory-evoked traveling waves is critical to understanding the neural basis of sensory perception. In this talk\, I will describe our recent efforts in using 2D nanotextured transparent ECoG style electrodes to map circuits orchestrating wave dynamics. Specifically\, by simultaneously mapping local-field-potentials and cellular ensemble dynamics (via 2P calcium imaging)\, we will describe the circuit features tied to traveling waves under active and passive whisker touch. We will show that in awake mice\, both passive and active whisker touch elicited traveling waves within and across barrels\, with both an early and late component lasting hundreds of milliseconds.  Strikingly\, wave dynamics reflected the value of the tactile stimulus\, and was found to be shaped by reinforcement learning. We will also describe how the late wave component is i) strongly modulated by motor feedback\, ii) complements a sparse ensemble pattern across layer 2/3 which we resolved via a balanced-state network model with distributed top-down feedback\, and iii) aligns with regenerative Layer 5 apical dendritic Ca2+ spikes. Our results establish a model in which translaminar spacetime patterns\, organized by motor cortical feedback\, sculpt touch-evoked traveling waves.
