SUMMARY:Takaki Komiyama\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Motor cortex circuits for learned movements \nJoin the UCI Center for Neural Circuit Mapping in a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Takaki Komiyama\, Professor and Vice Chair of the Department of Neurobiology at UC San Diego. \nThis hybrid seminar will be taking place in the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB)2020 & Telecast via Zoom. \n \nAbstract: \nMotor cortex circuits are highly plastic\, enabling adaptive control and learning of body movements. I will discuss two projects. In the first project\, we studied the spatial and functional specificity of synaptogenesis that occurs during motor learning. This was done by longitudinal functional imaging of dendritic spines followed by correlated electron microscopy. In the second project\, we are investigating the roles of motor cortex ensemble activity in the control of learned movements. This is done by population calcium imaging combined with holographic two-photon optogenetic stimulation of neural ensembles.

SUMMARY:Alyson Zalta\, Ph.D
DESCRIPTION:Exploring morning light therapy as a novel treatment for traumatic stress \nCNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Alyson Zalta\, Associate Professor of Psychological Science at UC Irvine. \nDescription: \nTrauma contributes to a wide variety of mental health problems including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)\, depression\, anxiety\, substance use\, and suicidality. Although front-line psychotherapies and pharmacotherapies exist for traumatic stress\, evidence suggests that many individuals fail to receive treatment\, remain symptomatic despite treatment\, or drop out of treatment before its conclusion. Uptake of these treatments is poor for several reasons including stigma\, avoidance\, unpleasant side effects\, and poor accessibility. New treatments are needed for traumatic stress that can overcome these critical barriers to care while targeting the underlying biological mechanisms of the pathology. Morning light treatment has good potential as a novel non-invasive\, low risk\, scalable treatment for traumatic stress. Evidence suggests that morning light may improve traumatic stress by reducing reactivity in the amygdala\, a brain region implicated in the pathophysiology of PTSD and anatomically linked to circadian photoreceptors in the eye. This seminar will describe the results of a randomized pilot trial that provides initial proof-of-concept that light treatment can improve traumatic stress and preliminary results from an ongoing randomized clinical trial aimed at evaluating the brain mechanisms underlying morning light therapy for traumatic stress. \n  \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Chrastil\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:NBB Tenure Seminar\nJoin the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior in a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Elizabeth Chrastil. \nAbstract:  \nNavigation is a central part of daily life. For some\, getting around is easy\, while others struggle. Some clinical populations\, such as those with Alzheimer’s Disease\, display wandering behaviors and extensive disorientation. Working at the interface between immersive virtual reality and neuroimaging techniques\, my research uses these complementary approaches to inform questions about how we acquire and use spatial knowledge. In this talk\, I will discuss both some of my recent work and current experiments that center on three main themes: 1) how we learn new environments\, 2) how the brain tracks spatial information\, and 3) how individuals differ in their spatial abilities. More broadly\, I will discuss how navigation lends insight into processes of human learning and memory. The behavioral and neuroimaging studies presented in this talk inform new frameworks for understanding spatial knowledge\, leading to novel approaches to answering the next major questions in navigation\, learning\, and memory.

SUMMARY:Georg F. Striedter\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Evolutionary Conservation versus Change in Brains and Other Biological Systems \n\n\n\nComparative neuroanatomists in recent years have made great progress in delineating the conserved “Bauplan” of vertebrate brains. However\, brains also evolved some major “new” brain regions that do not fit neatly into the conserved Bauplan view. In particular\, it appears that ray-finned fishes and amniotes have independently evolved a dorsal pallium\, which comprises the neocortex in mammals. Even for homologous brain areas\, changes in connectivity have been common – and often convergent between distantly related species\, such as primates and birds. To expand our understanding of brain evolution\, consider an analogy to evolving molecular systems. In this analogy\, highly conserved genes (including “human disease genes”) correspond to conserved brain regions\, whereas genetic losses and gains correspond to the loss and gain of major brain regions. Moreover\, molecular pathways and interactomes are analogous to neuroanatomical circuits; they\, too\, exhibit significant variation\, nicely captured by the phrase “genetic rewiring.” Because of this molecular variation\, the systems-level function(s) of individual genes and proteins can vary significantly over evolutionary time. This “causal drift” makes it difficult to extrapolate from “simple systems” to more complex networks\, and from model species to humans. Analogs of causal drift in molecular networks have been suggested also for neuronal networks (e.g. neocorticalization)\, but they have not been studied thoroughly. Filling that knowledge gap would be worthwhile.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Head\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nWhat we can learn about Alzheimer disease from people with Down syndrome \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Elizabeth Head\, professor of pathology at UC Irvine. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription:  Virtually all people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer disease neuropathology by the time they are 40 years of age.  Interestingly\, the first signs of cognitive decline may not occur until after 50 years of age\, and some people reach their 60’s without clinical decline.  By examining the brains of people with Down syndrome across the lifespan we can understand the order of events in the development of Alzheimer disease\, including when and where cerebrovascular changes and neuroinflammation occur.  Learning about the sequence of events of Alzheimer disease pathogenesis in Down syndrome will allow us to design prevention and treatment interventions.  Information learned from people with Down syndrome may in turn\, help us promote successful aging in this vulnerable group and may be translated to all people at risk of Alzheimer disease.

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.
