SUMMARY:Kei Igarashi\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Circuit mechanisms of associative memory in health and Alzheimer’s disease \nCNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Kei Igarashi\, Associate Professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology at UC Irvine. \nDescription:\n\nMounting evidence shows that dopamine in the striatum is critically involved in reward-based reinforcement learning. However\, it remains unclear how dopamine reward signals influence the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit\, another brain network critical for learning and memory. Using in vivo optogenetic and electrophysiological approaches\, we recently found that dopamine signals from the ventral tegmental area control encoding of cue-reward association rules in the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) (Lee et al.\, Nature\, 2021). Our results suggest that LEC represent a cognitive map of abstract task rules\, and LEC dopamine facilitates the incorporation of new memories into this map. I would like to discuss how we can unify the roles of two central\, but previously independent\, players in learning – dopamine and the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit – in future studies. In the second part of the talk\, I will share our results on how neuronal activities in the entorhinal-hippocampal memory circuit are lost in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (Jun et al.\, Neuron\, 2020)\, and discuss how the systems neuroscience approach can contribute to the understanding of Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Examining Mothers' Reflections on the Birth and Diagnosis of their Child with Down Syndrome: A Mixed Methods Approach
DESCRIPTION:Please join the UCI Center for Aging Research in Down Syndrome (CFAR-DS) Seminar Series Friday\, February 24 at 11:00 AM PT with a presentation by Angela Lukowski\, Ph.D. titled Examining Mothers’ Reflections on the Birth and Diagnosis of their Child with Down Syndrome: A Mixed Methods Approach. \n  \nAngela Lukowski\, Ph.D.\, is an Associate Professor of Psychological Science at the University of California\, Irvine. Her work focuses on children with developmental disabilities that co-occur with structural damage to regions of the brain implicated in higher-level cognitive processes. Most recently\, she and her colleagues have been studying whether mothers of children with Down syndrome (DS) differentially process and reflect on the diagnosis and birth of their child based on the timing of their child’s DS diagnosis (during gestation or after birth). Dr. Lukowski will present quantitative data from mothers’ narratives of these events (e.g.\, use of cognition and emotion terms\, event ratings) along with qualitative data focusing on mothers’ uncertainty management and resilience. Implications and future directions will be discussed. \n  \nThis event will be hosted via Zoom. If you’d like to attend\, please Register Here and a Zoom link will be emailed to you.

SUMMARY:Georg Striedter\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nWhich model system is “best”?  An argument from toxicology. \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Georg Striedter\, Professor of Neurobiology and Behavior at UC Irvine. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription: \nAs researchers seek to find treatments for various disorders\, they tend to use diverse model systems\, but which models are “best” for a given aim? Dr. Striedter has recently published a book on this topic and\, in this talk\, will discuss the challenges of model system selection from a perspective rarely mentioned at the CNLM\, namely that of toxicology. As toxicologists examine whether a particular compound is toxic to humans\, should they study cultured cells\, mice\, guinea pigs\, monkeys\, or (of course) multiple models? As the number of studied models goes up\, what happens to the risk of obtaining false positives? Which research strategy is most cost effective? These questions have clear analogs when it comes to selecting models for research on human diseases\, neurological or otherwise. Dr. Striedter will discuss these analogies briefly\, using Alzheimer’s disease as a CNLM-relevant example. He intends to leave plenty of room for discussion.
