SUMMARY:Shreesh P. Mysore\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Despite the rich literature on the consequences of selective attention to behavior and to neural responses\, as well as a wealth of models of competitive selection\, little is known about the circuit mechanisms by which the brain actually selects the highest priority stimulus as the next target of spatial attention. Following a first principles approach that breaks down selection into computational primitives\, and with experiments in the barn owl midbrain selection network\, Dr. Mysore and team recently discovered neural circuit mechanisms for categorical (robust-to-noise) selection as well as location-invariant selection (selection at all possible pairs of locations). Dr. Mysore shall describe these findings\, and in doing so\, highlight (a) the identification of a new form of population coding in the brain\, namely\, combinatorially optimized coding (relating to classic np-hard optimization problems)\, as well as of (b) a novel\, multi-holed donut-like organization of inhibition in the brain. He shall then switch gears and describe their development of primate-like behavioral paradigms for the study of endogenous as well as exogenous control of visuospatial selective attention in freely behaving mice. He shall end with early results from their efforts involving endoscopic calcium imaging and optogenetic manipulations in mice that are aimed at identifying circuit mechanisms of selection for spatial attention in mammals.

SUMMARY:Davide Dulcis\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Dulcis is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at UCSD. He is a faculty member of the Neurosciences graduate program and the Center for Circadian Biology at UCSD. He received his B.S. from University of Cagliari  (Italy) double majoring in Physiology and Biology. While earning his Ph.D. from University of Arizona in Neuroscience\, he illustrated the role of neurotransmitters in cardiac function of neurogenic invertebrate hearts. During his post-doctoral training in Neurobiology at UCSD\, he discovered that neurotransmitters can be respecified by sensory stimuli\, with matching respecification of postsynaptic receptor expression and associated changes in behavior (Nature\, 2008; Science\, 2013; Neuron\, 2017).

SUMMARY:Robert Hunt\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Interneurons and the control of memory precision \nInhibitory interneurons govern the sparse activation of principal cells that permits appropriate behaviors\, and they are activated during specific memory processes. Our recent work has demonstrated important roles for interneurons in disorders of brain development and injury. These studies have motivated our ongoing efforts to understand how these cells operate at the synaptic\, circuit and behavioral levels and in designing new technologies targeting specific populations of interneurons for therapy. I will discuss our recent efforts examining the role of interneurons in memory disorders and in designing cell-based therapies that enable precise manipulation of inhibitory circuits in the brain.

SUMMARY:Michael Halassa\, M.D.\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Networks Underlying Cognitive Control & Flexibility \nMichael Halassa is a MIT neuroscientist who aims to understand the basic circuit mechanisms of how information is routed in the brain and how disruptions in these circuits can lead to neurological and psychiatric disorders. As a practicing psychiatrist he aims to develop novel approaches to diagnosing and treating these illnesses guided by insights both from the lab and clinic.
