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:Black in Neuro Seminar Series: Dr. Yasmin Hurd
DESCRIPTION:Black in Neuroscience…the Road Less Traveled to Scientific Discoveries” \nPlease join Black in Neuro for a virtual seminar featuring Dr. Yasmin Hurd\, Director of the Addiction Institute within the Mount Sinai Behavioral Health System and the Ward Coleman Chair of Translational Neuroscience and Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. \nPlease register here to attend. \n  \nAbout Dr. Hurd:\nDr. Yasmin Hurd is an internationally renowned neuroscientist whose translational research examines the neurobiology of drug abuse and related psychiatric disorders. Her research exploring the neurobiological effects of cannabis and heroin has significantly shaped the field. Using multidisciplinary research approaches\, her research has provided unique insights into the impact of developmental cannabis exposure and epigenetic mechanisms underlying the drug’s protracted effects into adulthood and even across generations. Dr. Hurd’s basic science research is complemented by clinical laboratory investigations evaluating the therapeutic potential of novel science-based strategies for the treatment of opioid addiction and related psychiatric disorders. Based on these high impact accomplishments and her advocacy of drug addiction education and health\, Dr. Hurd was inducted into the National Academy of Medicine that complements other honors she has received in the field. In 2020\, she also received the Mika Salpeter Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Neuroscience. The impact of her research has also attracted popular attention\, including articles and interviews in Time magazine\, The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and on CNN\, PBS NOVA\, PBS/Netflix series Human: The World Within; Netflix series (The Business of Drugs); NPR/Freakonomics radio. \n

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!
