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/

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

SUMMARY:CNCM Seminar: Peyman Golshani\, MD\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:New open-source tools for imaging neuronal activity in freely behaving animals \nJoin the UCI Center for Neural Circuit Mapping in a hybrid conference featuring Dr. Peyman Golshani\, Professor of Neurology at the David Geffen School of Medicine\, UCLA. \nAbstract: \nDr. Golshani obtained his MD/PhD from UC Irvine and UC Davis where he trained under the mentorship of Dr. Edward G. Jones on the development of corticothalamic synapse. He then completed his Neurology residency at UCLA and obtained postdoctoral training with Dr. Felix Schweizer and Dr. Guoping Fan where he studied the role of DNA methylation in development of cortical circuits. He then became faculty and in collaboration with Dr. Portera-Cailliau and Dr. Stelios Smirnakis studied the developmental desynchronization of internally generated activity in the cerebral cortex. His independent laboratory now investigates how cortical microcircuits in the awake behaving animal encode sensory input and how disorders such as autism and developmental epilepsies disrupt functional cortical connectivity. \nHybrid Seminar \nIn-Person: Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Building ISEB 2020  \nVirtual: via Zoom
