Seminar with Erin Dolan, PhD
2019-05-06 11:00 - 12:00
Seminar Abstract: National calls to improve undergraduate STEM education have emphasized the importance of undergraduate research experiences. Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences, or CUREs, involve groups of students in addressing research problems or questions in the context of a class, and have been proposed as scalable ways of involving undergraduates in research. This seminar will offer a definition of CUREs, describe what makes them distinctive from other learning experiences, outline the state of knowledge about CURE effectiveness, and highlight results from the Freshman Research Initiative at the University of Texas at Austin as a unique and highly impactful CURE model.

Hippocampal Inhibition, Interference and Indexing

We have previously demonstrated an important role for adult-born dentate granule cells in resolution of memory interference in adulthood and aging. These studies have motivated assessment of the neural circuit mechanisms by which dentate granule cells modulate memory interference to dictate discrimination and generalization. I will discuss ongoing efforts interrogating how dentate granule cells recruit inhibitory microcircuits to govern memory interference, indexing, discrimination and generalization.

Gene expression and connectivity reveal the multiscale organization of mouse hippocampal networks

Many studies have described structural and functional heterogeneity across the hippocampus, but different fields of neuroscience (behavioral, anatomical, and gene expression studies) have produced disparate views of hippocampal organization. To help bridge the gaps between these data, we analyzed and mapped mouse gene expression patterns across the entire hippocampus and subiculum to create a comprehensive Hippocampus Gene Expression Atlas (HGEA) with 20 distinct molecular subregions. Guided by the HGEA, we traced the anatomical inputs and outputs of each HGEA subregion to create the most detailed wiring diagram of the hippocampus to date. Finally, hippocampal network analysis revealed that the hippocampus is a multiscale hierarchical network that contributes to separate brain-wide networks hypothesized to influence spatial navigation, social, and homeostatic behaviors. Overall, the HGEA provides a foundational roadmap that integrates gene expression and connectivity for the future genetic dissection of hippocampal cell types in behavior and how these cell types are impacted by neurological diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease.
