SUMMARY:Eve Marder\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Perturbations Reveal that Degenerate Circuits Hide Cryptic Individual Variability \nThe Department of Neurobiology and Behavior will be hosting Eve Marder\, professor of biology at Brandeis University\, for a James L. McGaugh Distinguished Lecture. \nAbstract: \nMore than 40 years of work on the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system on the cardiac sac\, gastric mill\, and pyloric rhythms have described numerous instances of circuit reconfiguration by neuromodulation and sensory inputs. These reconfigurations can involve alterations in the frequency and phases relationships of rhythms\, and switching of neurons from participating in one circuit to another. Computational works shows clearly that there are multiple\, degenerate sets of parameters that can result in similar output patterns. Motivated by this\, we have studied the effects of several different perturbations on STG networks\, revealing animal-to animal differences in their responses that are not evident without extreme perturbation

SUMMARY:UCI MIND Seminar Series: Elizabeth Mormino\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Subtyping Preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease: Typical\, Atypical\, and Resilient \nDr. Mormino is an assistant professor of Neurology at Stanford University\, and is currently serving on the Imaging Core Steering committee for the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center. She completed her PhD in Neuroscience at UC Berkeley in the laboratory of Dr. William Jagust\, where she performed some of the initial studies applying Amyloid PET with the tracer PIB to clinically normal older individuals. During her postdoctoral fellowship with Drs. Reisa Sperling and Keith Johnson at Massachusetts General Hospital she used multimodal imaging techniques to understand longitudinal cognitive changes among individuals classified as preclinical AD. Although amyloid abnormalities are common among clinically normal older adults\, and associated with elevated risk of future progression to clinical impairment\, we remain unable to predict future risk at the individual participant level. Although group level effects related to amyloid status are present\, trajectories of cognitive decline vary across individuals. In this talk\, Dr. Mormino will highlight her tau PET work\, which has emphasized more heterogeneity in the spatial patterns of tau PET uptake than expected. This pattern suggests that multiple subtypes exist within preclinical AD\, and that these subtypes are likely associated with distinct risk profiles (typical\, atypical\, and resilient). Subtyping preclinical AD is critical for the design of prevention trials\, as well as to establish a more complete understanding of mechanisms related to early AD processes. \nFor questions\, contact vswarup@uci.edu and bmander@hs.uci.edu

SUMMARY:UCI MIND Seminar Series: Omonigho M. Bubu\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Obstructive Sleep Apnea\, Amyloid and Tau Burden\, and Alzheimer’s Disease Time-Dependent Progression \nGuest Speaker: Omonigho M. Bubu\, PhD \n\n\n\n\nDr. Bubu is an Assistant Professor and physician scientist at NYU Grossman School of Medicine\, in the Departments of Psychiatry and Population Health\, with a highly impactful programmatic research focus on sleep\, aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in blacks. He did his Ph.D. from University of South Florida and a postdoctoral fellow at NYU. Dr. Bubu was awarded an NIA funded Columbia Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Alzheimer’s disease Disparities Pilot grant to conduct original research on the interaction of obstructive sleep apnea and race on plasma tau\, and neurofilament light protein. Dr. Bubu’s research focuses on examining how micro-and-macro architectural sleep changes\, and vascular risk\, impact AD risk in blacks. Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with multifactorial risk factors. Recent evidence implicates disturbed sleep as an important risk factor. This presentation will include evidence implicating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as a risk factor for AD\, as a physiologic marker associated with AD pathology/biomarkers (i.e. amyloid and tau)\, and as a modifier of AD risk. Results from our recent study examining whether OSA has a direct neurotoxic effect that is independent of amyloid or tau\, sufficient to induce a prospective clinical diagnosis of cognitive decline\, and whether OSA’s indirect effect that promotes amyloid or tau accumulation\, combine with OSA to act synergistically to significantly increase AD progression risk will be presented. OSA’s association with novel plasma AD biomarkers\, race and sex specific mechanisms underlying OSA-AD risk as well as future research directions will also be discussed. \n\n\nFor questions\, contact vswarup@uci.edu and bmander@hs.uci.edu

SUMMARY:James L. McGaugh Distinguished Lecture: "A Motor Theory of Sleep Control"\, Guest Speaker: Yang Dan Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Join us Tuesday\, December 7th\, 2021 for a James L. McGaugh Distinguished Lecture: “A Motor Theory of Sleep Control”\, Guest Speaker: Yang Dan Ph.D. from the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology at University of California Berkeley. \nHybrid Event\nNote: this event will be held virtually via Zoom and In-Person in the Herkltoz Conference Room\n \nAbstract \nTo identify neurons involved in sleep generation\, we have performed whole-brain screening for sleep active and sleep promoting neurons.  Sleep is controlled by a highly distributed network spanning the forebrain\, midbrain\, and hindbrain\, and most sleep neurons are part of the central somatic and autonomic motor circuits. The intimate association between the sleep and the two motor control networks suggests that a primary function of sleep is to promote biological processes incompatible with movement.

SUMMARY:CNLM Colloquium with Melissa Sharpe\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:The CNLM will be hosting\, Dr. Melissa Sharpe\, Assistant Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience at the University of California\, Los Angeles in a colloquium where she will be presenting her latest research. \nThis year\, the series will be held in a virtual format with some speakers presenting in-person as well. We will keep registered participants updated on the possibility of an in-person event as the situation with COVID-19 evolves. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe finding that dopamine neurons support intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) has been taken to suggest that phasic firing of dopamine neurons is reinforcing. This is one of the last findings preventing a move away from the value hypothesis of dopamine. Yet there are almost no studies investigating the cognitive basis of ICSS. We tested how dopamine stimulation is represented in the brain during ICSS. We found that physiological frequencies did not support robust ICSS or promote behavior that would indicate the stimulation was represented as a meaningful reward in a specific or general sense. However\, supraphysiological frequencies supported robust ICSS and this was associated with a representation of the stimulation as a specific sensory event that was capable of acting as a goal to motivate behavior. This demonstrates that dopamine neurons only support ICSS at supraphysiological frequencies\, and in a manner that does not reflect our subjective experience with endogenous firing of dopamine neurons during learning. These data provide important considerations for the interpretation of ICSS when used to interrogate the physiological function of dopamine and other neuronal populations.

SUMMARY:Carlos Portera Cailliau\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Cortical interneuron hypofunction in Fragile X Syndrome \nThe Department of Neurobiology and Behavior will host Carlos Portera Cailliau\, from the Department of Neurology & Neurobiology of the University of California\, Los Angeles\, for a James L. McGaugh Distinguished Lecture. \n  \n\nAbstract \n\nCortical circuit dysfunction is a primary pathophysiology in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Considering how symptoms in NDDs/autism become apparent in toddlers\, circuit changes must emerge very early in cortical development.  Over the last decade\, developmental differences in cortical synaptic dynamics\, neuronal adaptation\, and network synchrony have been reported in the Fmr1 knockout (KO) mouse model of Fragile X Syndrome (FXS)\, a prototypical NDD.  In addition\, the density\, maturity and activity of parvalbumin (PV) cortical interneurons are all reduced in Fmr1 KO mice and in other autism mouse models.  We find that the density of PV neurons in S1 is reduced in both juvenile and adult Fmr1 KO mice\, as well as in post-mortem tissue from human FXS cases.  Furthermore\, the density and the firing of Nkx2.1-expressing interneuron precursors are also reduced in early Fmr1 KO mice. Increasing MGE-derived interneuron activity using excitatory DREADDs significantly increases the density of PV cells at P15. Moreover\, increasing PV cell firing in Fmr1 KO mice with a novel allosteric modulator of Kv3.1 channels improves deficits in the tuning and the adaptation of excitatory neurons in S1 to repetitive whisker stimulation.

SUMMARY:CNCM Seminar: Dr. Edward Zagha
DESCRIPTION:Neural mechanisms of target stimulus selection and distractor stimulus suppression \nJoin the UCI Center for Neural Circuit Mapping in a Hybrid (Virtual and In-Person) Seminar featuring Edward Zagha\, MD\, PhD from UC Riverside. \nThose who wish to attend in person will receive details upon registration. \nAbstract: \n Goal-directed behavior requires the ability to respond to task-relevant target stimuli (selection) while inhibiting responses to extraneous distractor stimuli (suppression). To better understand the neural mechanisms underlying these processes\, we trained mice in an operant whisker detection task in which they learned to respond to brief stimuli in one whisker field (target) and ignore identical stimuli in the opposite whisker field (distractor). We subsequently performed a range of neuronal recording and perturbation experiments in expert mice while they were performing this selective detection task. In this talk\, I will present data from three studies related to the differential neural processing of target and distractor signals. First\, I will demonstrate the robust attenuation of distractor-evoked responses downstream of primary somatosensory cortex (Aruljothi et al.\, 2020). Second\, I will show that frontal cortex and dorsolateral striatum have highly similar task-related neuronal representations\, and yet make drastically different functional contributions to target selection and distractor suppression. Third\, I will provide evidence for a novel mechanism by which top-down signals from frontal cortex to sensory cortex contribute to target-distractor selectivity. Overall\, these studies reveal cortical and subcortical mechanisms by which sensory signals are appropriately routed according to goal direction (Zagha 2020).

SUMMARY:'Brain\, copy and paste' featuring Guest Speaker: Professor Donhee Ham Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Brain\, copy\, and paste\nProf. Donhee Ham\, Gordon McKay Professor\nApplied Physics and Electrical Engineering\nHarvard University\nThursday\, March 17th\, 2022; 11:00am-noon; Location: ISEB 1200\n  \nAbstract\nReverse engineering the brain by mimicking the structure and function of biological neuronal networks on a silicon chip was the original goal of neuromorphic engineering\, but remains a distant dream. The focus of neuromorphic engineering has thus been eased from the rigorous brain mimicry to brain-inspired design. In this talk\, I would like to share a technology that may return neuromorphic electronics to its original goal of reverse engineering the brain. The essence of this technology is to ‘copy’ the functional synaptic connectivity map of a mammalian neuronal network using our breakthrough CMOS nanoelectrode array that can intracellularly interface with biological neuronal networks. This technology could potentially create what better approximates the unique computing traits of the brain. This talk is a build from our recent work published in: \nNature 601\, 211 (2022)\nNature Electronics 4\, 635 (2021)\nNature Biomedical Engineering 4\, 232 (2020)\nNature Nanotechnology 12\, 460 (2017) \n  \nBiography\nDonhee Ham is Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics and EE at Harvard and Fellow\nat Samsung Electronics. He received a BS degree in physics from Seoul National University\,\nand an MS degree in physics and a PhD degree in EE from Caltech. Research web:\nhttps://donheehamlab.org
