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.

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/ URL:https://brain.uci.edu/event/james-l-mcgaugh-distinguished-seminar-series-with-dr-elizabeth-gould/ LOCATION:CNLM Herklotz Conference Center\, Irvine\, CA\, 92697\, United States CATEGORIES:Community,Scientific,Staff,Students ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://brain.uci.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/49/2023/03/unnamed-1-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230525T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230525T170000 DTSTAMP:20260420T033605 CREATED:20230327T223159Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230327T223159Z UID:10000397-1685026800-1685034000@brain.uci.edu SUMMARY:2023 CNLM Award Ceremony DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM) for the 2023 CNLM Awards Ceremony. \nThe CNLM offers awards to exceptional postdoctoral researchers\, graduate trainees\, undergraduates students\, and faculty.  Awardees will be presented with a plaque and $1\,000 stipend and will be invited to present their work in brief Elevator Pitch format to the UCI academic community and the public at our annual CNLM Awards Ceremony. \nApplications for the 2023 CNLM Awards are due May 3rd.\n\n \nFor more information\, please visit: https://cnlm.uci.edu/awards/ URL:https://brain.uci.edu/event/2023-cnlm-award-ceremony/ LOCATION:CNLM Herklotz Conference Center\, Irvine\, CA\, 92697\, United States CATEGORIES:All,Community,Faculty,Staff,Students ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://brain.uci.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/49/2023/03/cnlm-award-home-page-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="UCI Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory":MAILTO:memory@uci.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230825T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230825T151500 DTSTAMP:20260420T033605 CREATED:20230814T165820Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230814T165820Z UID:10000419-1692950400-1692976500@brain.uci.edu SUMMARY:Register Today – Annual Alzheimer’s Disease Research Conference: Sex and Gender in Dementia Research and Care DESCRIPTION:Did you know that women are at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease?\n\n\n\nAttend the Annual Southern California Alzheimer’s Disease Research Conference to learn more about this and other important topics related to sex and gender in dementia research and care.  The event is hosted by UCI MIND\, Alzheimer’s Orange County and the Alzheimer’s Association Orange County Chapter.\n\n\nAbout the Conference \n\nFriday\, August 25\, 2023\, 8:00 am – 3:15 pm PT\nHilton Irvine & Virtual\nCEUs can be added onto your registration for in-person attendees\n\n  \nWho should attend? \n\nFaculty\nResearchers\nStudents\nPeople living with dementia and their families\nHealthcare providers\nSenior and social service providers\nAnyone interested!\n\n\n\n\nClick here to visit our website to learn more about registration. \n  \nPlease note that CEUs are offered at a discounted rate this year. \n  \nTo register for this hybrid event\, click the button below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor questions\, please call Megan Witbracht at 949-824-9896.

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.

However\, more complex emotions occur through an evaluation of the environment in the context of past experiences and the current physiological condition of the organism. My lab studies the neural circuits and cell coding mechanisms which translate aversive experiences into simple and complex emotional states in the brain to regulate memory formation and guide behavior. I will describe our recent work identifying a brainstem neural circuit which conveys both external-sensory and internal-motor features of innately aversive experiences to create a sensorimotor state in the amygdala for producing aversive memory formation. Contrasting with this bottom-up circuit\, we’ve also found that the medial prefrontal cortex encodes more complex emotional states by building an internal associative model to perform emotional inference through top-down projections to the amygdala. These studies support a new hierarchical circuit model of emotion in which sensory\, bodily and cognitive factors shape neural processing across distributed neural circuits to adaptively and flexibly control defensive responding and memory formation.
