SUMMARY:Stress\, Social Relationships\, and Pathways to Mental and Physical Health
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Doom will discuss findings using longitudinal data demonstrating associations between early unpredictability\, harshness\, and deprivation and later mental and physical health. She will discuss the understudied role of micronutrient deficiencies in understanding cognitive\, emotional\, behavioral pathways to later health. Finally\, she will discuss work on social buffering suggesting that there may be developmental changes in social relationships that determine who may be effective buffers of stress to improve health across the lifespan. \nJenalee Doom\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\nDepartment of Psychology\nStress\, Early Experiences\, and Development (SEED) Center\nUniversity of Denver

SUMMARY:Neuromatch Academy: Democratizing computational neuroscience education through interactive\, intensive instruction
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Neuromatch Academy (NMA) was founded in spring 2020 in response to two catalysts: (1) the recognition that traditional intensive summer programs in computational neuroscience are expensive and exclusive\, leaving out a large proportion of qualified and deserving trainee participants; and (2) the COVID-19 pandemic canceled these in-person summer schools anyway. We founded NMA with the goal of tackling these problems by providing online\, globally-accessible high-quality computational neuroscience training at a low\, waivable cost ($100USD or less) so that any student with the appropriate background and skillset to participate would be able to join. In its inaugural year\, NMA’s 3-week summer intensive program enrolled 1700+ students supported by 190+ teaching assistants from 60+ countries\, provided instruction in 14 languages\, and built an organizers’ community of over 300 neuroscience academics worldwide. Over 85% of enrolled students completed the course. Now\, we are designing new evaluation metrics to understand which elements worked best\, to continually improve\, and to understand how online learning can be optimized to best reach students across geographic\, political\, socioeconomic\, and linguistic barriers worldwide. So now we ask you: What would you like to see\, and how can NMA best pilot and optimize educational innovations that can be applied to other areas or fields? \nAbout the Speaker: Megan Peters is an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Sciences at UC Irvine and the President and co-founder of Neuromatch\, a nonprofit organization that provides online computational neuroscience education through the Neuromatch Academy (NMA) summer school. Peters’ academic research is on metacognition\, perception\, and consciousness with focus on computational and cognitive neuroscience methods in humans. She received her PhD in Psychology from UCLA in 2014 which was followed by a postdoc there\, and from 2017-2020 she was on the Bioengineering faculty at UC Riverside before moving to UC Irvine Cognitive Sciences in 2020. At NMA\, she is the President and Chairperson of the Board and is involved in curriculum development\, operations\, and evaluation among wearing many other “hats”. \n  \nRegister in advance to attend this meeting (unless already registered for DLL meetings this year) \nhttps://uci.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0sf-GsqTguGN1FP3nGFs_M43Eb6cyX9F7Y

SUMMARY:CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Kate M. Wassum\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Amygdala-cortical circuitry in reward learning and pursuit \nTo make adaptive decisions we must cast ourselves into the future and consider the outcomes of our potential choices. This prospective consideration is informed by our memories. I will discuss our lab’s recent work investigating the neural circuits responsible for encoding\, updating\, and retrieving reward memories for use in the considerations underlying decision making. We have taken a multifaceted approach to these investigations\, combining recording\, modern circuit dissection\, and behavioral tools. Our results indicate that the orbitofrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala work in a reciprocal circuit to mediate in these functions. The cognitive symptoms underlying many psychiatric disorders result from a failure to appropriately learn about and/or anticipate potential future events\, making these basic science data relevant to the understanding and potential treatment of mental illness.

SUMMARY:Sleep to feel\, to think\, and to remember
DESCRIPTION:We spend nearly one-third of our lives asleep. Despite its universal nature and apparent necessity\, why we sleep remains largely a mystery. Sleep to feel\, to think\, and to remember is a virtual panel discussion featuring three UCI experts studying how sleep affects our emotions and the way we think\, and how stress impacts a good night’s rest. This event will spark exciting conversations and provide a fun interactive experience with both early-career and established UCI scientists.

SUMMARY:Works-In-Progess Series: Cognition and Political Ideology: A Study of Neuropolitics\, by Mark J. Fisher\, Davin L. Phoenix\, and Sierra Powell
DESCRIPTION:The relationship between political ideology and cognition has received little attention. In this presentation\, we will describe our pioneering investigation into the relationship between cognitive decline and political ideology. This work\, supported in part by the UCI Medical Humanities Initiative\, analyzed ideological self-identification\, political policy choices\, and cognition in individuals participating in the landmark UCI project The 90+ Study. We will describe our novel findings\, and their implications going forward. \nPlease register at: http://bit.ly/MFisher-Apr22 \n  \nBios: \nDr. Mark Fisher is Professor of Neurology at University of California\, Irvine\, where he holds appointments in the Departments of Anatomy & Neurobiology\, Political Science\, and Pathology & Laboratory Medicine\, along with the Beckman Laser Institute\, and is a member of UCI MIND. He received his MD from University of Cincinnati in 1975\, and after completing Neurology training at UCLA-Wadsworth VA Medical Center joined the faculty in the Department of Neurology at University of Southern California in 1980 where he established the first stroke program in Southern California. His edited work “Medical Therapy of Acute Stroke” was published in 1989\, years before the first successful acute stroke therapy clinical trials. At UCI\, he served as Chair of the Department of Neurology from 1998-2006\, established the UCI Stroke Center\, led the effort for UCI becoming the first academic medical center in the country to receive JCAHO certification as a primary stroke center\, and led the UCI Department of Neurology into the top ten for NIH research funding for Neurology Departments nationwide for the first time. His NIH stroke research grant (R01) has been funded for nearly 40 years\, and he has received approximately 50 citations of clinical excellence as a stroke neurologist by a variety of external organizations. He is currently engaged in clinical and basic vascular neurobiology research along with interdisciplinary investigations\, and provides stroke care in the inpatient\, emergency room\, and clinic settings. \nDavin L. Phoenix is an associate professor of political science at the University of California\, Irvine. He researches how race influences the emergence and effects of anger\, pride and hope in politics\, how protests and media narratives on policing influence state policies\, and how religious views shape the political behavior of people of color. His work has been published in The Journal of Social and Political Psychology\, Politics and Religion and Politics\, Groups and Identities. His book The Anger Gap: How Race Shapes Emotions in Politics is winner of the American Political Science Association’s 2020 Ralph J. Bunche Award for best scholarly work exploring ethnic and cultural pluralism\, and co-winner of the 2020 APSA award for best book on race and ethnic politics. Davin is a recipient of the 2017-18 Dean’s Honoree for Teaching Excellence Award\, and a 2019 UROP Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Fostering Undergraduate Research. \nSierra Powell is Chair of the Department of Geography and Political Science and Professor of Political Science at Mount San Antonio College.
