SUMMARY:Sounds in silence: How glial cells in the ear promote maturation of the central auditory system
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Neurobiology and Behavior & UCI Center Hearing Research Seminar presents “Sounds in silence: How glial cells in the ear promote maturation of the central auditory system” featuring Dr. Dwight Bergles\, John Hopkins University. \nNeural pathways that process sensory information rely on both genetically preprogrammed events and active refinement to establish proper connectivity. Remarkably\, active processes begin prior to the onset of sensory experience\, when neurons fire spontaneous periodic bursts of action potentials. This highly stereotyped\, intrinsically generated activity promotes neuronal survival\, maturation and initial refinement of their connections. In the auditory system\, spontaneous activity arises within the cochlea prior to hearing onset. During this critical developmental stage\, glia-like supporting cells that surround inner hair cells spontaneously release ATP\, triggering a cascade of events that ultimately results in hair cell depolarization\, glutamate release and bursts of activity in groups of auditory neurons that will ultimately process similar frequencies of sound. We used electrophysiological recordings in isolated cochleae and in vivo imaging of auditory neuron activity from pre-hearing mice to uncover the complex molecular steps used to activate hair cells before hearing onset and the macroscopic patterns of activity exhibited by auditory neurons before hearing begins. I will discuss our recent evidence that osmotic changes in supporting cell shape regulate hair cell excitability\, and describe the effects of connexin 26 deletion\, a leading cause of inherited deafness\, on early patterned activity in the developing auditory system. \nZoom Meeting\nhttps://uci.zoom.us/j/94865809429\nMeeting ID: 948 6580 9429

SUMMARY:Cognitive Sciences Virtual Colloquia Series - Josh McDermott\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Auditory Cortical Computation \nJust by listening\, humans can determine who is talking to them\, whether a window in their house is open or shut\, or what their child dropped on the floor in the next room. This ability to derive information from sound is enabled by a cascade of neuronal processing stages that transform the sound waveform entering the ear into cortical representations that are presumed to make behaviorally important sound properties explicit. Although much is known about the peripheral processing of sound\, the subsequent computations that support behavior are less understood. This talk will describe our recent efforts to develop new models of auditory computation that can account for auditory behavior\, illuminate function within auditory cortex\, and help people hear better. \nSpeaker Bio \nJosh McDermott studies sound and hearing in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT\, where he is an Associate Professor and heads the Laboratory for Computational Audition. His research addresses human and machine audition using tools from experimental psychology\, engineering\, and neuroscience. McDermott obtained a BA in Brain and Cognitive Science from Harvard\, an MPhil in Computational Neuroscience from University College London\, a PhD in Brain and Cognitive Science from MIT\, and postdoctoral training in psychoacoustics at the University of Minnesota and in computational neuroscience at NYU. He is the recipient of a James S. McDonnell Foundation Scholar Award\, an NSF CAREER Award\, a Troland Research Award\, and the BCS Award For Excellence in Undergraduate Advising. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Developmental and Cell Biology Seminar Series with Irene Chiolo
DESCRIPTION:Highways for Repair: Nuclear Actin Filaments and Myosins Drive Relocalization and Repair of Heterochromatic DNA Breaks \nJoin the UCI BioSci Department of Developmental and Cell Biology in a virtual seminar with Irene Chiolo\, Associate Professor of the Department of Biological Sciences of the University of Southern California. \n\nAbstract \nPericentromeric heterochromatin accounts for ~30% of fly and human genomes and is mostly composed of repeated DNA sequences prone to aberrant recombination. Defective double-strand break (DSB) repair of heterochromatin results in widespread genome instability\, a major driving force for tumorigenesis. Genome instability is also a leading cause of aging-related diseases and contributes to developmental defects\, sterility\, and neurological and neuromuscular degeneration in several genetic syndromes. And yet\, repair mechanisms in heterochromatin have been woefully understudied. Using Drosophila cells\, our pioneering studies have identified a striking relocalization of repair sites to the nuclear periphery for ‘safe’ homologous recombination (HR) progression. SUMOylation has a pivotal role in this pathway\, by blocking HR inside the domain and promoting relocalization. We have also uncovered a remarkable network of transient nuclear actin filaments and myosins driving directed motions to the nuclear periphery\, and we have identified highly conserved pathways in mammalian cells. More recently\, we have discovered a role for nucleoporins in mobilizing repair sites ‘off pore’\, likely through phase separation. Ultimately\, we expect these studies to open new avenues for cancer treatment and for developing more effective strategies to address aging-related disorders and neurological/neuromuscular diseases.

SUMMARY:CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Dr. Beth Stevens
DESCRIPTION:(Re) Defining Myeloid Cell States and Function in Alzheimer’s Disease \nJoin the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory in a virtual colloquium with Dr. Beth Stevens\, Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard University. \nAbstract: Emerging evidence from genetic association studies shows that dysregulation of the brain’s immune system plays a key role in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative disease. Our research aims to identify and validate disease mechanisms informed by human genetics and identify functional and mechanistic markers of myeloid and glial cells in detrimental states\, before cognitive decline\, that can be readily detected through imaging and fluid biomarkers. Using single-cell RNA sequencing\, spatial transcriptomics and proteomic approaches we identified molecular signatures that can be used to localize and monitor distinct microglia functional states in human and mouse brain. Our results show that microglia assume diverse functional states in development\, aging and injury\, including populations corresponding to known microglial functions including proliferation\, migration\, inflammation\, and synaptic phagocytosis. In addition\, we identified several innate immune pathways by which microglia recognize and prune synapses during development and in models of disease\, including the classical complement cascade. Illuminating the mechanisms by which developing synaptic circuits are sculpted is providing important insight on understanding how to protect synapses in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases of synaptic dysfunction.

SUMMARY:CNLM Virtual Colloquium  with Corey Harwell\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Development and diversity of neural cell types in the septum \nThe CNLM will be hosting Dr. Corey Harwell\, from the Department of Neurobiology of Harvard Medical School\, in a virtual colloquium where he will present his latest research. \nAbstract: The septum is ventral forebrain structure responsible for the regulation of emotional states including anxiety\, fear and depression. The septum contains an extremely diverse array of short- and long-range projecting GABAergic neurons distributed across its two histological subdivisions\, the medial and lateral septal nuclei. Both of these regions are heavily interconnected with other brain areas. It is currently unclear how septal neuronal diversity and circuit wiring are specified during development. Using molecular genetics and single-cell/nuclei RNA-seq we have begun to unravel the developmental logic for producing diverse neural cell types in the septum. Our future work is focused on understanding the specific contribution of developmentally specified neural cell types to the regulation of internal states carried out by the septum.
