SUMMARY:Lisa Flanagan\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nRegulation of early neural development by glycosylation \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Lisa Flanagan\, Associate Professor of Neurology at UC Irvine. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription: \nDeciphering how neural stem cells function in early development to generate the cerebral cortex will help us better understand normal and disrupted brain formation and organization. We used neural stem cells\, genetic mouse models\, and innovative engineering approaches to uncover a novel role for glycosylation in directing early neural development. N-linked glycosylation of the neural stem cell plasma membrane controls neuronal and astrocytic differentiation\, likely through regulation of cell surface protein binding to extracellular ligands. Increased formation of cell surface highly-branched N-glycans promotes astrocyte generation whereas loss of these glycans disrupts neuron differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Glycosylation plays a critical and previously unrecognized role in cell differentiation and early brain development and may help to explain cellular responses to extracellular cues.

SUMMARY:Javier Diaz Alonso\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nChasing the AMPAR slot(s). Multiple mechanisms modulate synaptic strength. \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Javier Diaz Alonso\, Assistant Professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology at UC Irvine. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription: \nLong-term potentiation (LTP) of excitatory synapses is essential for multiple forms of learning and memory formation. Pioneering work from CNLM members and others led to a model for NMDAR-dependent LTP where synaptic strengthening depends on the recruitment of AMPA receptors to the postsynapse. Despite decades of research\, the molecular mechanisms underlying the activity-dependent insertion of AMPA receptors at synapses\, and specifically which regions in the receptor complex are required for trafficking and docking\, are not fully understood. In the past few years\, we have assessed the role played by different protein domains of the AMPAR complex in these processes\, focusing on: i) the sequence diverse intracellular AMPAR C-tails\, ii) the extracellular ATDs\, which protrude into the synaptic cleft and iii) the AMPAR auxiliary proteins TARPs\, which interact with synaptic scaffolds. Our recent and ongoing work is revealing an important role for all of these 3 elements\, yet our data suggests that they play different roles in different synapses and control different AMPAR-dependent processes. I will discuss our unpublished work\, in collaboration with other CNLM labs\, dissecting novel molecular mechanisms modulating the activity-dependent synaptic accumulation and subsynaptic positioning of AMPARs to support novelty processing\, learning and memory formation.

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.

SUMMARY:Pierre Baldi\, Ph.D. - NEW DATE
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Pierre Baldi\, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Director of the Institute for Genomics and Bioinformatics at UC Irvine. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \n\n\n\nThe quest for how the brain learns \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will first showcase two cutting-edge applications of modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) in biomedical imaging and in reasoning. These applications\, as well as most modern AI applications (e.g.\, ChatGPT\, AlphaFold\, AlphaGO\, Google Translate\, Self-Driving Cars) are based on deep learning\, a modern rebranding of neural networks\, or connectionist methods\, dating back to the 1980s\, or even the 1950s.  We will then briefly review the neuroscience-inspired\, tortuous\, historical path that has led to deep learning\, and the key discoveries made along the way\, highlighting the synergies and discrepancies between neuroscience and deep learning. One key conclusion is that approximate gradient descent is essential for learning. However\,  the standard gradient descent algorithm of deep learning called backpropagation  is not biologically-plausible for multiple reasons. We will examine these reasons one-by-one and identify biologically-plausible solutions for each one of them. In particular\, we will introduce and demonstrate a general class of neural architectures and learning algorithms capable of learning from data in a largely unsupervised and asynchronous manner\, without the need for symmetric connectivity.

SUMMARY:Kevin T. Beier\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Kevin T. Beier\, Assistant Professor of Physiology and Biophysics at UC Irvine. \nMolecular mechanisms of memory stability and the molecular and circuit determinants of cocaine addiction \n  \nDescription: \nI will speak on two separate projects in our lab. First\, we have uncovered the molecular mechanism by which administration of the Zeta Inhibitory Peptide (ZIP) causes memory loss. While it was previously believed that ZIP administration perturbs memory stability through disruption of constitutive kinase activity\, recent studies have cast doubt on this hypothesis. However\, ZIP’s effects on memory stability are robust\, raising the question of what the actual mechanism is by which ZIP exerts its function. We have identified the basic molecular and pathways engaged by ZIP\, and use this information to identify an inhibitor that\, together with ZIP\, enables bidirectional modulation of synaptic plasticity. Second\, we are exploring the biological factors that influence the behavioral response to the administration of drugs of abuse. Some individuals that take drugs of abuse are susceptible to developing dependence\, while others are resilient. The fundamental source of this variation is not understood. We will discuss our work implicating circuit- and molecular-level changes in the globus pallidus that facilitate individual differences in response to cocaine administration\, and share the identification of a novel small molecule compound\, isolated from rosemary\, that blunts drug reward and volitional intake. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Megan Peters\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Megan Peters\, Assistant Professor of Cognitive Science at UC Irvine. \nNeurocomputational approaches to the study of perceptual awareness \nDescription: When our brains process sensory information\, they transform it into a coherent\, conscious experience that we use to drive adaptive decisions and learning. In this talk I will describe several ongoing lines of research in my group that focus on understanding the neural and computational substrates of our subjective sense of the world around us. Specifically\, separating the study of phenomenology from the study of signal processing capacity is challenging\, so our group has been focusing on how the study of metacognitive evaluation (confidence judgements in our perceptual decisions) may shine light on these processes. Using a combination of behavior/psychophysics\, computational modeling\, noninvasive neuroimaging\, and machine learning in humans\, we seek to understand how the brain is capable of efficiently using sensory information and how this ability relates to our qualitative\, phenomenal experiences. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:James L. McGaugh Distinguished Seminar Series with Dr. Elizabeth Gould
DESCRIPTION:Sex differences in early life adversity effects on hippocampal plasticity\n\nDr. Elizabeth Gould\nDepartment of Psychology\nPrinceton Neuroscience Institute \nHybrid Event\nThis seminar will be live-streamed via Zoom and In-Person. \nIn-Person: \nHerklotz Conference Room\nCenter for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory\n300 Qureshey Research Lab\nRSVP for Zoom Link\nAbstract: \nEarly life adversity (ELA) increases the likelihood of neuropsychiatric disease\, including anxiety and mood disorders. Sex differences exist in the incidence of these conditions\, and types of ELA are known to produce differential vulnerabilities. My talk will focus on our efforts to use two different mouse models of ELA to explore plasticity mechanisms underlying sex differences in behavioral outcomes. We found that an ELA model of neglect\, but not one of abuse\, increases ventral hippocampal-dependent avoidance behavior in both males and females. Overall\, females exhibit greater avoidance than males\, with further increases observed after ELA only during the diestrus phase of the estrous cycle. Increases in avoidance in ELA females during diestrus are likely related to diminished conversion of progesterone to the neurosteroid allopregnanolone in the ventral hippocampus. These changes are coincident with increased power of theta oscillations and altered composition of perineuronal nets\, extracellular matrix structures known to limit plasticity\, around parvalbumin-positive inhibitory interneurons. Sex differences are also observed in response to two types of ELA on social recognition\, another function that involves the hippocampus. Males\, but not females\, show deficits in social memory after exposure to ELA models of neglect or abuse. Despite these similarities within males\, underlying mechanisms differ depending on the type of ELA experienced. ELA-neglect reduced the number of stem cells and adult-born neurons in the hippocampus. This effect seems causally linked to social recognition deficits because chemogenetic stimulation of adult-born neurons in ELA-neglect mice restores this function.  By contrast\, ELA-abuse does not affect the number of adult-born neurons but increases perineuronal nets in the CA2 region. Collectively\, these findings highlight how sex and ELA type are important determinants of hippocampal plasticity and behavioral outcomes. \nFor more information please check out: https://gouldlab.princeton.edu/

SUMMARY:Laura Ewell\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Laura Ewell\, Assistant Professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology at UC Irvine. \nSparse to dense networks: pattern separation and completion in health and epilepsy. \nDescription: The attractor theory of memory posits that CA3\, the recurrent network at the core of the hippocampus\, is capable of learning\, storing\, and recalling ensembles of neurons that represent experience. In healthy conditions there are constraints on the CA3 network that ensure that individual neural patterns comprise a small group of neurons that do not overlap with other patterns. One critical constraint called pattern separation works at the network level – and is thought to be performed by the dentate gyrus. In this talk\, I will be examining the network processes of pattern separation and pattern completion through the lens of temporal lobe epilepsy – a disease in which network codes shift from sparse to dense schemes. We will discuss single unit data from freely moving rodents (epilepsy models and healthy animals) and new tasks being developed by my laboratory to study these critical memory processes. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Leslie Thompson\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Leslie Thompson\, Professor of Psychiatry & Human Behavior at UC Irvine. \nHuntington’s disease research and therapeutics; the long winding road \nHuntington’s disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that typically strikes in the prime of life with no disease modifying treatment. It is caused by a repeat expansion within the coding region of the protein Huntingtin which is expressed throughout the body and is required for a vast array of cellular processes. The disease mutation causes both a gain of function and loss of normal function which adds significant complexity to understanding disease mechanisms and advancing therapeutics. In this talk I will describe three vignettes relating to disease mechanisms and therapeutic approaches undertaken in the laboratory. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Mayank Mehta\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium Series \nHippocampus 2.0: Three simple rules \nJoin the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM) for a hybrid event featuring Dr. Mayank Mehta\, professor of physics\, astronomy\, neurology\, and neurobiology at UCLA. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription: \nThe hippocampus is implicated in many learning and memory disorders including Alzheimer’s. Dozens of drugs have cured these in mice but failed in humans. Hippocampal neurons in rodents show robust spatial selectivity. Hence\, the standard test of hippocampal function in mice is the Morris Water Maze\, an allocentric spatial memory task. However\, in freely behaving primates\, hippocampal neurons show very little spatial selectivity. Further\, hippocampal damage in humans causes profound non-spatial\, egocentric\, episodic memory deficits too\, whose neurophysiological analog in rodents is unclear. We propose a novel theory of hippocampal function\, Hippocampus 2.0\, which can reconcile these long-standing differences and provide several experimental tests of this theory. The results provide a unified framework for probing hippocampal function\, which could improve translation of therapies from mice to humans.

DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM) and the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology for a hybrid event featuring Dr. Roger Nicoll\, professor of cellular and molecular pharmacology at the University of California\, San Francisco. \nThe Biochemistry of Memory: A (not so) New and Specific Hypothesis \nEvent is jointly sponsored through the CNLM Colloquium Series and the Anatomy and Neurobiology Seminar Series. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription: \n\nCaMKII and long-term potentiation (LTP) were discovered within a decade of each other and have been inextricably intertwined ever since. In 1984 Francis Crick proposed that a memory molecule should possess two properties. First\, it should be a multimeric protein with identical subunits that can phosphorylate one another. Second\, to address how memories outlast molecular turnover he proposed that naïve unphosphorylated subunits could exchange into the phosphorylated multimer and become phosphorylated. Within two years biochemical studies established that CaMKII satisfied the first prediction. Recent biochemical studies have shown that unphosphorylated CaMKII subunits can exchange into phosphorylated CaMKII multimers\, thus satisfying Crick’s second prediction. My talk will focus on linking the biochemical properties of CaMKII to LTP. I will show that the autophosphorylation of CaMKII maintains LTP (memory) by establishing a stable CaMKII/NMDA receptor complex\, resulting in the synaptic capture of AMPA receptors. LTP survives the protein turnover of CaMKII\, which is complete within 2 weeks\, by its phosphorylation of newly synthesized naïve CaMKII molecules.

SUMMARY:Anna K. Gillespie\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium Series \nSteps toward exploring the therapeutic potential of hippocampal replay \nJoin the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM) for a hybrid event featuring Dr. Anna Gillespie\, assistant professor of biological structure\, lab medicine\, and pathology at University of Washington. This event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription: \nExecuting memory-guided behavior requires storage of information about experience and later recall of that information to inform choices. Hippocampal sharp-wave ripple (SWR) events are associated with the time-compressed “replay” of representations of past experience\, and multiple correlative and causal studies have demonstrated that SWRs critically contribute to these cognitive functions. Consistent with its role in memory processes\, changes in SWRs have been reported concurrent with memory impairment in several rodent models of Alzheimer’s disease. Rescuing replay in Alzheimer’s could thus improve memory symptoms; however\, our current options for promoting physiologically relevant replay are quite limited. To address this gap\, we developed a neurofeedback paradigm for rats in which the real-time detection of SWRs triggers the delivery of positive reinforcement (food reward). In young adult animals\, this training protocol increased the prevalence of task-relevant replay during the targeted neurofeedback period by changing the temporal dynamics of SWR occurrence\, and was also associated with neural and behavioral forms of compensation after the targeted period. This work demonstrates that subjects can learn to use neurofeedback to modulate physiologically relevant patterns of hippocampal network activity and lays the foundation for future work in subjects with compromised replay\, such as rodent models of Alzheimer’s disease.

Buffalo\, professor and chair of physiology and biophysics at the University of Washington. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \nNeural Dynamics of Memory Formation in the Primate Hippocampus  \n \nDescription:  \nOur understanding of the hippocampus has been framed by two landmark discoveries: the discovery by Scoville and Millner that hippocampal damage causes profound and persistent amnesia and the discovery by O’Keefe and Dostrovsky of hippocampal place cells in rodents. However\, it has been unclear to what extent spatial representations are present in the primate brain and how to reconcile these representations with the known mnemonic function of this region. I will discuss a series of experiments that have examined neural activity in the hippocampus in monkeys performing behavioral tasks including foraging and spatial memory tasks in a virtual environment. These data demonstrate that behavioral task structure has a significant influence on hippocampal activity\, with neurons responding to all salient events within the task. Taken together\, these data are consistent with the idea that activity in the hippocampus tracks ongoing experience in support of memory formation.
