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.

SUMMARY:Lara Rangel\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:The CNLM will be hosting Dr. Lara Rangel\, Associate Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of California\, San Diego\, in a colloquium where she will present her latest research. \nThe flexible coordination of hippocampal spiking activity in rhythms \nDuring successful computation\, brain regions must have an efficient method for filtering information from multiple sources and coordinating communication with other regions. A great system for examining this is the hippocampus\, a brain structure critical for learning and memory that must integrate and associate various streams of information. Research conducted by Dr. Lara Maria Rangel suggests that successful processing of information in the hippocampus during an associative memory task is dependent on coordinated oscillatory activity\, and more specifically the flexible engagement of hippocampal cells in distinct rhythmic circuits. \nAbout Dr. Lara Rangel \nDr. Rangel is a systems neuroscientist\, whose work characterizes the temporal dynamics of cross-regional oscillatory interactions and the flexible participation of neurons in local rhythmic networks during behavior. \n \n  \nThis year\, the series will be held in a virtual format with some speakers presenting in-person as well. We will keep registered participants updated on the possibility of an in-person event as the situation with COVID-19 evolves. \n

SUMMARY:2022 CNLM Spring Conference
DESCRIPTION:Since 1982\, the CNLM has hosted an annual scientific conference in the spring to discuss recent advances in the field and launch new collaborations and synergies. The conferences include several themed symposia\, short presentations by trainees\, panel discussions\, and keynote lectures. It is a crucial scientific development opportunity for students and postdocs as well as a faculty. Attendance is by invitation only (except for the triennial international conference – see 2018 below)\, and the program is developed by a committee of CNLM faculty fellows\, including external fellows. The conferences are highly renowned for their intellectual atmosphere\, use of the 50/50 discussion rule\, and the special edited volumes that result from them. Typical attendance at the annual conference is between 100-120 attendees. Attendance at the 2018 meeting exceeded 1\,000 scientists.  \nTo learn more about past conferences\, visit: https://cnlm.uci.edu/scientific-activities/spring-meeting/
