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

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.

SUMMARY:Lara Rangel\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:The CNLM will be hosting Dr. Lara Rangel\, Associate Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of California\, San Diego\, in a colloquium where she will present her latest research. \nThe flexible coordination of hippocampal spiking activity in rhythms \nDuring successful computation\, brain regions must have an efficient method for filtering information from multiple sources and coordinating communication with other regions. A great system for examining this is the hippocampus\, a brain structure critical for learning and memory that must integrate and associate various streams of information. Research conducted by Dr. Lara Maria Rangel suggests that successful processing of information in the hippocampus during an associative memory task is dependent on coordinated oscillatory activity\, and more specifically the flexible engagement of hippocampal cells in distinct rhythmic circuits. \nAbout Dr. Lara Rangel \nDr. Rangel is a systems neuroscientist\, whose work characterizes the temporal dynamics of cross-regional oscillatory interactions and the flexible participation of neurons in local rhythmic networks during behavior. \n \n  \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

SUMMARY:"How neurons encode memory: Mechanisms of memory formation and persistence"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nLearning and memory are essential for day-to-day living. Equally important\, their alterations are thoughtto underlie neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. Prior work in the field has found many key features of learning and memory—including long-term potentiation and memory engram neurons. However\, many gaps in knowledge remain\, particularly mechanisms at the molecular level. Here\, I will discuss how postsynaptic proteins mediate memory formation and persistence and how they can be modified to improve memory ability. \n\nIf you are unable to join the seminar in person feel free to connect to our live stream via zoom. \n \nMeeting ID: 935 0482 6445\nPassword: 754037

SUMMARY:CNLM Colloquium with Duane Watson\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the link between language experience and language processing  \nThe CNLM will be hosting Duane Watson\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Psychology and Human Development at Vanderbilt University\, in a colloquium where he will present his latest research. \nAbstract: A speaker’s  language environment plays an important role in language use.  The language environment is critical for language learning and vocabulary growth in children\, and in predicting the difficulty of processing words and sentences in adults. In this talk I will present a set of studies that will show that the relationship between language exposure and language use is complex.  I will present experimental evidence suggesting that daily internet reading habits are linked to language processing skills.   On the other hand\, I will also present evidence showing that multiple exposures to complex sentences do not necessarily make these sentences easier to understand.  Finally\, I will discuss some of the ways in which the spoken language environment can play a role in language use\, and will present a pilot study showing that social factors\, such as a shared opinion with a conversational partner\, can influence subtle linguistic factors such as speech prosody. \n  \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

SUMMARY:How Educational Inequities in the U.S. South Pre- and Post-Brown Shape Dementia Risk for Black and White Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Although education is a key determinant of cognitive function\, its role in determining Black-White disparities in cognitive function is unclear. This may be due\, in part\, to data limitations that have made it difficult to account for systemic educational inequities in the U.S. South experienced by older adults. In this talk\, guest speaker and health policy expert Dr. Katrina Walsemann of the University of Maryland\, College Park\, will present results from her ongoing projects funded by the NIA and the Alzheimer’s Association. RSVP >>

SUMMARY:2022 CNLM Spring Conference
DESCRIPTION:Since 1982\, the CNLM has hosted an annual scientific conference in the spring to discuss recent advances in the field and launch new collaborations and synergies. The conferences include several themed symposia\, short presentations by trainees\, panel discussions\, and keynote lectures. It is a crucial scientific development opportunity for students and postdocs as well as a faculty. Attendance is by invitation only (except for the triennial international conference – see 2018 below)\, and the program is developed by a committee of CNLM faculty fellows\, including external fellows. The conferences are highly renowned for their intellectual atmosphere\, use of the 50/50 discussion rule\, and the special edited volumes that result from them. Typical attendance at the annual conference is between 100-120 attendees. Attendance at the 2018 meeting exceeded 1\,000 scientists.  \nTo learn more about past conferences\, visit: https://cnlm.uci.edu/scientific-activities/spring-meeting/

SUMMARY:Jonathan Ting\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:New opportunities for primate cellular neuroscience in the era of single cell genomics \nJoin the UCI Center for Neural Circuit Mapping for a hybrid seminar with Dr. Jonathan Ting from the Allen Institute for Brain Science. \nAbstract: \nHow many cell types exist in the brain and what are their unique functional properties?  Single cell transcriptomics provides a means to define discrete cell classes\, subclasses and types on the basis of gene expression signatures.  This approach has revolutionized neuroscience by providing foundational cell type taxonomies with unprecedented resolution and has led to the identification of previously unknown brain cell types.  In addition\, analytical tools enable precise alignment across diverse cell type taxonomies\, for example\, mapping of cell type homologies across species.  Such approaches will no doubt deepen our understanding of the evolution of brain cell types.  As a direct outcome of this progress\, a new challenge for the neuroscience field is to explore the unique cellular properties of these myriad brain cell types\, and to experimentally address whether transcriptomically distinct cell types serve functionally distinct roles in brain circuits.  Towards this aspirational goal\, how can we leverage the richness of single cell transcriptomics and epigenomics to target and manipulate this overwhelming diversity of brain cell types and across widely utilized mammalian model organisms?  In this talk I will describe the various projects and strategies my colleagues and I have developed at the Allen Institute to address these outstanding challenges\, with particular attention to creating new opportunities for primate cellular neuroscience.  I will focus on our published and unpublished biological discoveries coming from Patch-seq experiments exploring signature electrophysiological and morphological properties of transcripomically-identified primate neocortical cell types\, as well as the early implementation of first-in-class viral genetic tools for targeting brain cell types. \n  \nFor those registering for in-person there is a 22 max capacity. In addition\, to receiving your zoom virtual registration link\, you will receive a separate email reminder that you registered for the in-person.
