SUMMARY:Development and Cell Biology Spring Seminar Series with Dr. Javier Apfeld
DESCRIPTION:C. elegans Processes Sensory Information to Choose Between Freeloading and Self-defense Strategies \nJoin the UCI Department of Developmental and Cell Biology in a virtual seminar with Dr. Javier Apfield\, Assistant Professor of the College of Science of Northeastern University. \nAbstract:\nHydrogen peroxide is the preeminent chemical weapon that organisms use for combat. Individual cells rely on conserved defenses to prevent and repair peroxide-induced damage\, but whether similar defenses might be coordinated across cells in animals remains poorly understood. In this seminar\, I will discuss our recent findings showing that in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans a neuronal circuit processes information perceived by two sensory neurons to control the induction of hydrogen-peroxide defenses in target tissues. We found that catalases produced by Escherichia coli\, the nematode’s food source\, can deplete hydrogen peroxide from the local environment and thereby protect the nematodes. In the presence of E. coli\, the nematode’s neurons signal via TGFβ-insulin/IGF1 relay to target tissues that they need not induce catalases and other hydrogen-peroxide defenses. This adaptive strategy is the first example of a multicellular organism modulating its defenses when it expects to freeload from the protection provided by molecularly orthologous defenses from another species. \n  \nPlease join via Zoom: https://uci.zoom.us/j/91254995926?pwd=N3hnanM2a1AwMUlDOUxpSkxTeTRtQT09 \nMeeting ID: 912 5499 5926 \nPasscode: 634218 \n

SUMMARY:ICAN Seminar -Dr. Arif Hamid
DESCRIPTION:Dopamine waves as a mechanism for spatiotemporal credit assignment. \nJoin the UC Irvine Center for Addiction Neuroscience in a virtual ICAN Seminar featuring Arif Hamid\, PhD\, from Brown University. \nAbstract\nSignificant evidence supports the view that dopamine shapes reward-learning by encoding prediction errors. However\, it is unknown whether dopamine decision-signals are tailored to the functional specialization of target regions. In this talk\, I will report on a novel set of wave-like spatiotemporal activation patterns in dopamine axons (and release) across the dorsal striatum that switch between different activational motifs. At reward delivery\, waves are altered by task demands\, propagating from dorsomedial to dorsolateral striatum during instrumental contingencies\, and in the opponent direction when rewards are independent of animal behavior. I will demonstrate that our results are consistent with a computational architecture in which striatal dopamine signals are sculpted by inference about agency\, and provide evidence for a spatiotemporally “vectorized” role of dopamine in credit assignment directed toward specialized “expert” striatal subregions.

SUMMARY:CNLM Virtual Colloquium  with Corey Harwell\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Development and diversity of neural cell types in the septum \nThe CNLM will be hosting Dr. Corey Harwell\, from the Department of Neurobiology of Harvard Medical School\, in a virtual colloquium where he will present his latest research. \nAbstract: The septum is ventral forebrain structure responsible for the regulation of emotional states including anxiety\, fear and depression. The septum contains an extremely diverse array of short- and long-range projecting GABAergic neurons distributed across its two histological subdivisions\, the medial and lateral septal nuclei. Both of these regions are heavily interconnected with other brain areas. It is currently unclear how septal neuronal diversity and circuit wiring are specified during development. Using molecular genetics and single-cell/nuclei RNA-seq we have begun to unravel the developmental logic for producing diverse neural cell types in the septum. Our future work is focused on understanding the specific contribution of developmentally specified neural cell types to the regulation of internal states carried out by the septum.

SUMMARY:Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Seminar Series: Kevin Beier\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Parallel Dopamine Circuits Mediate Unique Aspects of Cocaine-Induced Behavioral Plasticity  \n  \nPlease join the UCI School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences in a virtual seminar featuring Kevin Beier\, Ph.D. \n  \nAbstract: \nMy research is focused on identifying how experience modulates activity dynamics in neural circuits\, both acutely and chronically. I aim to develop new methods and use these in combination with modern techniques such as optogenetics and in-vivo calcium imaging to understand the sources of adaptive and maladaptive plasticity that drive normal and pathophysiological behaviors. These include reward/aversion processing in normal appetitive behaviors\, drug addiction\, neurodegeneration\, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism. I will also employ cutting-edge viral-genetic methods to map brain state-dependent activity in connected neural ensembles\, and use this information to infer how our brain state drives us to perform particular behaviors. I also aim to take novel approaches to interrogating the sources of individual behavioral variation in neuropsychiatric conditions such as addiction\, anxiety\, and depression.

SUMMARY:PharmSci Seminar with Amal Alachkar\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Seminar Series:  \nIntergenerational Trauma: Two-hit Mechanism and Early Preventive Interventions \nPlease join the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in a research seminar featuring UC Irvine Associate Professor\, Dr. Amal Alachkar. \nAbstract: \nThe deleterious impacts of existential trauma during pregnancy are doubled as they affect the mental health of two generations (the mothers’ and the unborn offspring). In my lab we try to establish early biomarkers for identifying individuals at risk\, and for predicting novel treatment targets at the earliest practicable ages. Our studies show that trauma exposure in mice during pregnancy induces in the offspring social deficits and depressive-like behavior through divergent and convergent mechanisms of both in utero and early-life parenting environments. Molecular mechanisms of intergenerational trauma transmission involve stress- and hypoxia-response energy pathways\, especially mitochondrial ATP production\, and epigenetic processes. We establish 2-Hydroxyglutaric acid as an early predictive biomarker for trauma-induced behavioral deficits. Early but not late pharmacological interventions with acetyl-L-carnitine supplementation\, produces long-lasting protection against the behavioral deficits associated with intergenerational trauma.

SUMMARY:Eve Marder\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Perturbations Reveal that Degenerate Circuits Hide Cryptic Individual Variability \nThe Department of Neurobiology and Behavior will be hosting Eve Marder\, professor of biology at Brandeis University\, for a James L. McGaugh Distinguished Lecture. \nAbstract: \nMore than 40 years of work on the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system on the cardiac sac\, gastric mill\, and pyloric rhythms have described numerous instances of circuit reconfiguration by neuromodulation and sensory inputs. These reconfigurations can involve alterations in the frequency and phases relationships of rhythms\, and switching of neurons from participating in one circuit to another. Computational works shows clearly that there are multiple\, degenerate sets of parameters that can result in similar output patterns. Motivated by this\, we have studied the effects of several different perturbations on STG networks\, revealing animal-to animal differences in their responses that are not evident without extreme perturbation

SUMMARY:UCI MIND Seminar Series: Elizabeth Mormino\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Subtyping Preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease: Typical\, Atypical\, and Resilient \nDr. Mormino is an assistant professor of Neurology at Stanford University\, and is currently serving on the Imaging Core Steering committee for the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center. She completed her PhD in Neuroscience at UC Berkeley in the laboratory of Dr. William Jagust\, where she performed some of the initial studies applying Amyloid PET with the tracer PIB to clinically normal older individuals. During her postdoctoral fellowship with Drs. Reisa Sperling and Keith Johnson at Massachusetts General Hospital she used multimodal imaging techniques to understand longitudinal cognitive changes among individuals classified as preclinical AD. Although amyloid abnormalities are common among clinically normal older adults\, and associated with elevated risk of future progression to clinical impairment\, we remain unable to predict future risk at the individual participant level. Although group level effects related to amyloid status are present\, trajectories of cognitive decline vary across individuals. In this talk\, Dr. Mormino will highlight her tau PET work\, which has emphasized more heterogeneity in the spatial patterns of tau PET uptake than expected. This pattern suggests that multiple subtypes exist within preclinical AD\, and that these subtypes are likely associated with distinct risk profiles (typical\, atypical\, and resilient). Subtyping preclinical AD is critical for the design of prevention trials\, as well as to establish a more complete understanding of mechanisms related to early AD processes. \nFor questions\, contact vswarup@uci.edu and bmander@hs.uci.edu

SUMMARY:Carlos Portera Cailliau\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Cortical interneuron hypofunction in Fragile X Syndrome \nThe Department of Neurobiology and Behavior will host Carlos Portera Cailliau\, from the Department of Neurology & Neurobiology of the University of California\, Los Angeles\, for a James L. McGaugh Distinguished Lecture. \n  \n\nAbstract \n\nCortical circuit dysfunction is a primary pathophysiology in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Considering how symptoms in NDDs/autism become apparent in toddlers\, circuit changes must emerge very early in cortical development.  Over the last decade\, developmental differences in cortical synaptic dynamics\, neuronal adaptation\, and network synchrony have been reported in the Fmr1 knockout (KO) mouse model of Fragile X Syndrome (FXS)\, a prototypical NDD.  In addition\, the density\, maturity and activity of parvalbumin (PV) cortical interneurons are all reduced in Fmr1 KO mice and in other autism mouse models.  We find that the density of PV neurons in S1 is reduced in both juvenile and adult Fmr1 KO mice\, as well as in post-mortem tissue from human FXS cases.  Furthermore\, the density and the firing of Nkx2.1-expressing interneuron precursors are also reduced in early Fmr1 KO mice. Increasing MGE-derived interneuron activity using excitatory DREADDs significantly increases the density of PV cells at P15. Moreover\, increasing PV cell firing in Fmr1 KO mice with a novel allosteric modulator of Kv3.1 channels improves deficits in the tuning and the adaptation of excitatory neurons in S1 to repetitive whisker stimulation.
