SUMMARY:Works-In-Progess Series: Cognition and Political Ideology: A Study of Neuropolitics\, by Mark J. Fisher\, Davin L. Phoenix\, and Sierra Powell
DESCRIPTION:The relationship between political ideology and cognition has received little attention. In this presentation\, we will describe our pioneering investigation into the relationship between cognitive decline and political ideology. This work\, supported in part by the UCI Medical Humanities Initiative\, analyzed ideological self-identification\, political policy choices\, and cognition in individuals participating in the landmark UCI project The 90+ Study. We will describe our novel findings\, and their implications going forward. \nPlease register at: http://bit.ly/MFisher-Apr22 \n  \nBios: \nDr. Mark Fisher is Professor of Neurology at University of California\, Irvine\, where he holds appointments in the Departments of Anatomy & Neurobiology\, Political Science\, and Pathology & Laboratory Medicine\, along with the Beckman Laser Institute\, and is a member of UCI MIND. He received his MD from University of Cincinnati in 1975\, and after completing Neurology training at UCLA-Wadsworth VA Medical Center joined the faculty in the Department of Neurology at University of Southern California in 1980 where he established the first stroke program in Southern California. His edited work “Medical Therapy of Acute Stroke” was published in 1989\, years before the first successful acute stroke therapy clinical trials. At UCI\, he served as Chair of the Department of Neurology from 1998-2006\, established the UCI Stroke Center\, led the effort for UCI becoming the first academic medical center in the country to receive JCAHO certification as a primary stroke center\, and led the UCI Department of Neurology into the top ten for NIH research funding for Neurology Departments nationwide for the first time. His NIH stroke research grant (R01) has been funded for nearly 40 years\, and he has received approximately 50 citations of clinical excellence as a stroke neurologist by a variety of external organizations. He is currently engaged in clinical and basic vascular neurobiology research along with interdisciplinary investigations\, and provides stroke care in the inpatient\, emergency room\, and clinic settings. \nDavin L. Phoenix is an associate professor of political science at the University of California\, Irvine. He researches how race influences the emergence and effects of anger\, pride and hope in politics\, how protests and media narratives on policing influence state policies\, and how religious views shape the political behavior of people of color. His work has been published in The Journal of Social and Political Psychology\, Politics and Religion and Politics\, Groups and Identities. His book The Anger Gap: How Race Shapes Emotions in Politics is winner of the American Political Science Association’s 2020 Ralph J. Bunche Award for best scholarly work exploring ethnic and cultural pluralism\, and co-winner of the 2020 APSA award for best book on race and ethnic politics. Davin is a recipient of the 2017-18 Dean’s Honoree for Teaching Excellence Award\, and a 2019 UROP Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Fostering Undergraduate Research. \nSierra Powell is Chair of the Department of Geography and Political Science and Professor of Political Science at Mount San Antonio College. Her research focuses on American political behavior\, the politics of disability\, and the politics of health. Her work has appeared in American Politics Research\, Presidential Studies Quarterly\, the Journal of Health Politics\, Policy\, and Law\, Policy Studies and in other edited volumes.

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.

SUMMARY:Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Seminar Series: Kevin Beier\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Parallel Dopamine Circuits Mediate Unique Aspects of Cocaine-Induced Behavioral Plasticity  \n  \nPlease join the UCI School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences in a virtual seminar featuring Kevin Beier\, Ph.D. \n  \nAbstract: \nMy research is focused on identifying how experience modulates activity dynamics in neural circuits\, both acutely and chronically. I aim to develop new methods and use these in combination with modern techniques such as optogenetics and in-vivo calcium imaging to understand the sources of adaptive and maladaptive plasticity that drive normal and pathophysiological behaviors. These include reward/aversion processing in normal appetitive behaviors\, drug addiction\, neurodegeneration\, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism. I will also employ cutting-edge viral-genetic methods to map brain state-dependent activity in connected neural ensembles\, and use this information to infer how our brain state drives us to perform particular behaviors. I also aim to take novel approaches to interrogating the sources of individual behavioral variation in neuropsychiatric conditions such as addiction\, anxiety\, and depression.

SUMMARY:PharmSci Seminar with Amal Alachkar\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Seminar Series:  \nIntergenerational Trauma: Two-hit Mechanism and Early Preventive Interventions \nPlease join the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in a research seminar featuring UC Irvine Associate Professor\, Dr. Amal Alachkar. \nAbstract: \nThe deleterious impacts of existential trauma during pregnancy are doubled as they affect the mental health of two generations (the mothers’ and the unborn offspring). In my lab we try to establish early biomarkers for identifying individuals at risk\, and for predicting novel treatment targets at the earliest practicable ages. Our studies show that trauma exposure in mice during pregnancy induces in the offspring social deficits and depressive-like behavior through divergent and convergent mechanisms of both in utero and early-life parenting environments. Molecular mechanisms of intergenerational trauma transmission involve stress- and hypoxia-response energy pathways\, especially mitochondrial ATP production\, and epigenetic processes. We establish 2-Hydroxyglutaric acid as an early predictive biomarker for trauma-induced behavioral deficits. Early but not late pharmacological interventions with acetyl-L-carnitine supplementation\, produces long-lasting protection against the behavioral deficits associated with intergenerational trauma.

SUMMARY:Memory: It's About Time Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:May 27 & 28\, 2021\n9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.\nMemories are the record of our experiences\, but they also shape them. We now know that memory recall is a fundamentally constructive process\, reassembling multiple views of past experience to interpret the present and imagine the future. The three symposia for this year’s Learning and Memory meeting will examine recent and ongoing research building this new\, dynamic\, multi-scale understanding of memory. The first\, “Sequences and Structures\,” will discuss how memories link together to reflect the regularities of the world around us and predict what might happen next.  The second\, “Connections and Components\,” will investigate the ways in which neural circuits are “hard-wired” to encode certain features of experience and what this means for how and what we remember. The third\, “Construction and Formation\,” will examine the fundamental building blocks of memories as they are first encoded and then reshaped by later experience. Discussion sections will synthesize the findings we’ve learned about and sketch out new directions for memory research in the years ahead\, including implications for neurological disease. \nFor more information\, please visit: https://cnlm.uci.edu/2021-spring-conference/ \nRegister Today!
