SUMMARY:James L. McGaugh Distinguished Lecture: Kay Tye\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Neural Representations of Social Homeostasis \nJoin the UCI Department of Neurobiology and Behavior for a virtual seminar featuring\, Dr. Kay Tye of the Salk Institute. \nAbstract: \nHow does our brain rapidly determine if something is good or bad? How do we know our place within a social group? How do we know how to behave appropriately in dynamic environments with ever-changing conditions?\nThe Tye Lab is interested in understanding how neural circuits important for driving positive and negative motivational valence (seeking pleasure or avoiding punishment) are anatomically\, genetically and functionally arranged.  We study the neural mechanisms that underlie a wide range of behaviors ranging from learned to innate\, including social\, feeding\, reward-seeking and anxiety-related behaviors. We have also become interested in “social homeostasis” — how our brains establish a preferred set-point for social contact\, and how this maintains stability within a social group.  How are these circuits interconnected with one another\, and how are competing mechanisms orchestrated on a neural population level? We employ optogenetic\, electrophysiological\, electrochemical\, pharmacological and imaging approaches to probe these circuits during behavior.

SUMMARY:Albert La Spada\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Deconstructing Neurodegenerative Proteinopathies: From Pathology of Neuron Demise to Therapeutic Interventon \nJoin the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior in a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Albert La Spada. \n \nAbstract:Both rare inherited neurodegenerative disorders and common sporadic neurodegenerative diseases are caused by misfolded proteins that accumulate in neurons and glia of affected patients.  The CAG – polyglutamine (PolyQ) repeat diseases are one category of inherited neurodegenerative disorders that are caused by the expansion of a CAG triplet repeat\, resulting in a protein with an abnormally extended polyglutamine (polyQ) tract.  The repeat expansions in these diseases occur in the coding region\, and lead to the production of aggregate-prone proteins.  Of the nine CAG-PolyQ diseases\, I have been studying the disease pathogenesis of three such disorders: X-linked spinal & bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA/Kennedy’s disease)\, Huntington’s disease\, and spinocerebellar ataxia type 7.  To determine the cellular and molecular basis of these diseases\, I have relied upon mouse models and human stem cell models\, and through these efforts\, I have uncovered a central role for transcription dysregulation\, altered proteostasis\, and bioenergetic abnormalities in the pathogenesis of these disorders.  Unbiased transcriptome analysis and directed studies of cell-type contribution have yielded crucial insights into the nature of these diseases\, and have revealed targets and pathways likely amenable to therapeutic manipulation. \nHybrid Event\nThe seminar will be live-streamed via zoom and in person.\nPlease RSVP to let us know how you will attend and receive zoom link. \nIn-Person Meeting: Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB) auditorium
