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:Neurobiology and Behavior Distinguished Colloquium - Tara DeSilva\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Dr. DeSilva is an Associate Professor at the Lerner Research Institute\, Cleveland\, Ohio where her research focuses on how immune cell infiltration into the central nervous system contributes to demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS)\, transverse myelitis\, and neuromyelitis optica (NMO).\nThe DeSilva lab focuses on three major areas of research:\n1) Blocking immune cell infiltration into the CNS\n2) Protecting the CNS during the onslaught of immune cell infiltration\n3) Promoting regeneration of myelin in the CNS

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.
