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.

SUMMARY:UCI CNCM Seminar: Jianhua Cang\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Visual Processing in the Mouse Superior Colliculus \nJoin the UCI Center for Neural Circuit Mapping in a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Jianhua Cang of the University of Virginia. \nAbstract: \n\n\nThe superior colliculus (SC)\, or optic tectum\, is an evolutionarily conserved structure that receives direct retinal input in all vertebrates. It was the most sophisticated visual center until the neocortex evolved in mammals. In mice\, a mammalian species that has become a useful model in vision research\, 85–90% of retinal ganglion cells project to the SC\, making it the most prominent visual structure in this species. In the past several years\, we have performed a series of functional studies of the mouse SC\, especially the aspect of motion processing. In these studies\, we have (1) revealed diverse visual response properties in the mouse SC (Wang\, Sarnaik et al.\, J. Neuroscience\, 2010; Zhao\, Liu and Cang\, Neuron\, 2014; Savier et al.\, 2019; Chen et al.\, 2021); (2) discovered a highly specialized lamina in the most superficial SC for movement direction (Inayat\, Barchini et al.\, J. Neuroscience\, 2015); (3) demonstrated a retinal origin ofSC direction selectivity (Shi\, Barchini et al.\, Nature Neuroscience\, 2017); and (4) studied how SC neurons encode motion contrast (Barchini et al.\, 2018). In this presentation\, I will briefly review these published findings and describe our recent efforts in linking visual response properties to genetically identified cell types in the SC. \nFor those registering for in-person there is a 22 max capacity.\nIn-Person Location:\nInterdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB)\nS.

SUMMARY:Neurobiology and Behavior Seminar: Dr. Eitan Schechtman
DESCRIPTION:Biasing memory processing during sleep to enhance cognition and improve wellbeing \nJoin the UCI Department of Neurobiology and Behavior in a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Eitan Schechtman of the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Northwestern University. \nHybrid Event\nThe seminar will be live-streamed via zoom and in person.\nPlease RSVP to receive zoom link. \nIn-Person Meeting: Dale Melbourne Herklotz Conference Room\,\nthe Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory 300 Qureshey Research Lab \n \nAbstract: Sleep is critical for the stabilization of memories. This process is thought to be supported by the reactivation of memories\, thereby strengthening the neural infrastructure supporting them. Theoretical accounts of this consolidation process focus on the process through which memories are independently strengthened\, but in natural settings\, individual memories never exist in a vacuum. In this talk\, I will present a series of studies exploring the extent of memory reactivation during sleep in humans\, how interactions between memories impact the consolidation process and the role of encoding context in memory processing during sleep. The main technique used to explore memory reactivation in these studies is targeted memory reactivation\, a behavioral manipulation that can selectively bias consolidation during sleep. The results demonstrate that multiple semantically related memories can be simultaneously consolidated during sleep. Additionally\, they show that memory reactivation during sleep may involve contextual reinstatement\, thereby impacting multiple contextually linked memories. These data suggest that reactivation during sleep is not limited to single memory items\, and can occur at the network or brain-state level. Relatedly\, we show that reactivating a suppression state during sleep can be used to selectively weaken memories. Taken together\, these results inform our current understanding regarding memory consolidation processes and open new avenues for translatable research to alleviate memory-related symptoms in patients suffering from psychiatric disorders.
