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.

His laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms of drug addiction and depression in animal models. The goal of Dr. Nestler’s research is to better understand the molecular mechanisms of addiction and depression. His laboratory uses animal models of these disorders to identify the ways in which long-term exposure to drugs of abuse or stress changes the brain to lead to addiction- or depression-like syndromes. A major focus of his work is on drug- and stress-induced changes in gene expression and chromatin structure within the brain’s reward circuitry\, and the mechanisms by which those lasting adaptations alter neuronal and circuit function to produce behavioral abnormalities. \n  \nDetails coming soon!

SUMMARY:Neuromatch Academy: Democratizing computational neuroscience education through interactive\, intensive instruction
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Neuromatch Academy (NMA) was founded in spring 2020 in response to two catalysts: (1) the recognition that traditional intensive summer programs in computational neuroscience are expensive and exclusive\, leaving out a large proportion of qualified and deserving trainee participants; and (2) the COVID-19 pandemic canceled these in-person summer schools anyway. We founded NMA with the goal of tackling these problems by providing online\, globally-accessible high-quality computational neuroscience training at a low\, waivable cost ($100USD or less) so that any student with the appropriate background and skillset to participate would be able to join. In its inaugural year\, NMA’s 3-week summer intensive program enrolled 1700+ students supported by 190+ teaching assistants from 60+ countries\, provided instruction in 14 languages\, and built an organizers’ community of over 300 neuroscience academics worldwide. Over 85% of enrolled students completed the course. Now\, we are designing new evaluation metrics to understand which elements worked best\, to continually improve\, and to understand how online learning can be optimized to best reach students across geographic\, political\, socioeconomic\, and linguistic barriers worldwide. So now we ask you: What would you like to see\, and how can NMA best pilot and optimize educational innovations that can be applied to other areas or fields? \nAbout the Speaker: Megan Peters is an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Sciences at UC Irvine and the President and co-founder of Neuromatch\, a nonprofit organization that provides online computational neuroscience education through the Neuromatch Academy (NMA) summer school. Peters’ academic research is on metacognition\, perception\, and consciousness with focus on computational and cognitive neuroscience methods in humans. She received her PhD in Psychology from UCLA in 2014 which was followed by a postdoc there\, and from 2017-2020 she was on the Bioengineering faculty at UC Riverside before moving to UC Irvine Cognitive Sciences in 2020. At NMA\, she is the President and Chairperson of the Board and is involved in curriculum development\, operations\, and evaluation among wearing many other “hats”. \n  \nRegister in advance to attend this meeting (unless already registered for DLL meetings this year) \nhttps://uci.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0sf-GsqTguGN1FP3nGFs_M43Eb6cyX9F7Y

SUMMARY:CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Kate M. Wassum\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Amygdala-cortical circuitry in reward learning and pursuit \nTo make adaptive decisions we must cast ourselves into the future and consider the outcomes of our potential choices. This prospective consideration is informed by our memories. I will discuss our lab’s recent work investigating the neural circuits responsible for encoding\, updating\, and retrieving reward memories for use in the considerations underlying decision making. We have taken a multifaceted approach to these investigations\, combining recording\, modern circuit dissection\, and behavioral tools. Our results indicate that the orbitofrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala work in a reciprocal circuit to mediate in these functions. The cognitive symptoms underlying many psychiatric disorders result from a failure to appropriately learn about and/or anticipate potential future events\, making these basic science data relevant to the understanding and potential treatment of mental illness.

SUMMARY:Development and Cell Biology Spring Seminar Series with Dr. Javier Apfeld
DESCRIPTION:C. elegans Processes Sensory Information to Choose Between Freeloading and Self-defense Strategies \nJoin the UCI Department of Developmental and Cell Biology in a virtual seminar with Dr. Javier Apfield\, Assistant Professor of the College of Science of Northeastern University. \nAbstract:\nHydrogen peroxide is the preeminent chemical weapon that organisms use for combat. Individual cells rely on conserved defenses to prevent and repair peroxide-induced damage\, but whether similar defenses might be coordinated across cells in animals remains poorly understood. In this seminar\, I will discuss our recent findings showing that in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans a neuronal circuit processes information perceived by two sensory neurons to control the induction of hydrogen-peroxide defenses in target tissues. We found that catalases produced by Escherichia coli\, the nematode’s food source\, can deplete hydrogen peroxide from the local environment and thereby protect the nematodes. In the presence of E. coli\, the nematode’s neurons signal via TGFβ-insulin/IGF1 relay to target tissues that they need not induce catalases and other hydrogen-peroxide defenses. This adaptive strategy is the first example of a multicellular organism modulating its defenses when it expects to freeload from the protection provided by molecularly orthologous defenses from another species. \n  \nPlease join via Zoom: https://uci.zoom.us/j/91254995926?pwd=N3hnanM2a1AwMUlDOUxpSkxTeTRtQT09 \nMeeting ID: 912 5499 5926 \nPasscode: 634218 \n
