“Adolescent cannabinoid exposure: effects on dopamine system development and cocaine-motivated behavior”
Abstract: Cannabis is the most commonly abused illicit drug among adolescents, and excessive use in this population is associated with the development of psychiatric conditions, including drug addiction. Adolescence is a critical period for the refinement and organization of neuronal connectivity, especially within the mesocorticolimbic dopamine circuity. In particular, dysregulation of the guidance cue receptor, Dcc, in ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons disrupts spatiotemporal targeting of dopamine axons to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). We have previously demonstrated that exposure to amphetamine in early adolescence disrupts the development of dopamine circuitry development, leading to alterations in cognitive processing and drug seeking in adulthood. Here, we examine whether exposure to the synthetic cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R) agonist WIN-55,212-2 (WIN) in early adolescence regulates Dcc mRNA expression in the VTA and induces alterations in drug-motivated behaviors and in dopamine function in adulthood. Preliminary findings demonstrate that adolescent exposure to WIN downregulates the Dcc receptor in the VTA and disrupts organization of mesocorticolimbic dopamine circuitry. Additionally, WIN-treated mice display aberrant self-administration of cocaine in the absence of other behavioral impairments. Ongoing experiments will elucidate functional changes in cocaine-evoked phasic dopamine release in the NAc and mPFC. Overall, these findings support that repeated exposure to a CB1R agonist in adolescence impacts mesocorticolimbic dopamine system maturation and may have important implications for dopamine-mediated learning and psychostimulant-motivated behavior later in life.
Bio: Natalie Zlebnik, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Biomedical Sciences in the School of Medicine. She earned her doctorate in Neuroscience from the University of Minnesota, and her postdoctoral fellowship was completed at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where her investigations focused on the role of the endocannabinoid system in normal reward-motivated behaviors and its therapeutic role in disorders of reward seeking. Her independent research program examines how drugs of abuse exploit neural mechanisms of motivated behavior to promote relapse and facilitate the transition to drug addiction. The goal is to identify molecular and circuit-level targets for the development of novel therapeutics to reduce drug craving and minimize the propensity to relapse.

Hippocampus 2.0: Three simple rules
Join the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM) for a hybrid event featuring Dr. Mayank Mehta, professor of physics, astronomy, neurology, and neurobiology at UCLA.
This event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom.

Description:
The hippocampus is implicated in many learning and memory disorders including Alzheimer’s. Dozens of drugs have cured these in mice but failed in humans. Hippocampal neurons in rodents show robust spatial selectivity. Hence, the standard test of hippocampal function in mice is the Morris Water Maze, an allocentric spatial memory task. However, in freely behaving primates, hippocampal neurons show very little spatial selectivity. Further, hippocampal damage in humans causes profound non-spatial, egocentric, episodic memory deficits too, whose neurophysiological analog in rodents is unclear. We propose a novel theory of hippocampal function, Hippocampus 2.0, which can reconcile these long-standing differences and provide several experimental tests of this theory. The results provide a unified framework for probing hippocampal function, which could improve translation of therapies from mice to humans.

Description:

CaMKII and long-term potentiation (LTP) were discovered within a decade of each other and have been inextricably intertwined ever since. In 1984 Francis Crick proposed that a memory molecule should possess two properties. First, it should be a multimeric protein with identical subunits that can phosphorylate one another. Second, to address how memories outlast molecular turnover he proposed that naïve unphosphorylated subunits could exchange into the phosphorylated multimer and become phosphorylated. Within two years biochemical studies established that CaMKII satisfied the first prediction. Recent biochemical studies have shown that unphosphorylated CaMKII subunits can exchange into phosphorylated CaMKII multimers, thus satisfying Crick’s second prediction. My talk will focus on linking the biochemical properties of CaMKII to LTP. I will show that the autophosphorylation of CaMKII maintains LTP (memory) by establishing a stable CaMKII/NMDA receptor complex, resulting in the synaptic capture of AMPA receptors. LTP survives the protein turnover of CaMKII, which is complete within 2 weeks, by its phosphorylation of newly synthesized naïve CaMKII molecules.

Effects of narrative structure and agency on memory
The world confronts our senses with a continuous stream of rapidly changing information. Yet, we experience life as a series of episodes or events, and in memory these pieces seem to become even further organized. How do we recall an give structure to this complex information? Recent studies have begun to examine these questions using naturalistic stimuli and behavior: subjects view audiovisual movies or read interactive stories, then freely recount their memories of the events. Within the default network, we find distinct brain activity patterns corresponding to individual events, which reappear during verbal recollection; memories and neural patterns are influenced by the network structure of links between events in the narrative, and these effects are modulated by agency. These observations construct a picture of how the brain supports our ability to comprehend and recall real-world events as they unfold continuously across time.

Steps toward exploring the therapeutic potential of hippocampal replay

This event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom.

Description:
Executing memory-guided behavior requires storage of information about experience and later recall of that information to inform choices. Hippocampal sharp-wave ripple (SWR) events are associated with the time-compressed “replay” of representations of past experience, and multiple correlative and causal studies have demonstrated that SWRs critically contribute to these cognitive functions. Consistent with its role in memory processes, changes in SWRs have been reported concurrent with memory impairment in several rodent models of Alzheimer’s disease. Rescuing replay in Alzheimer’s could thus improve memory symptoms; however, our current options for promoting physiologically relevant replay are quite limited. To address this gap, we developed a neurofeedback paradigm for rats in which the real-time detection of SWRs triggers the delivery of positive reinforcement (food reward). In young adult animals, this training protocol increased the prevalence of task-relevant replay during the targeted neurofeedback period by changing the temporal dynamics of SWR occurrence, and was also associated with neural and behavioral forms of compensation after the targeted period. This work demonstrates that subjects can learn to use neurofeedback to modulate physiologically relevant patterns of hippocampal network activity and lays the foundation for future work in subjects with compromised replay, such as rodent models of Alzheimer’s disease.

Neural Dynamics of Memory Formation in the Primate Hippocampus

Description:
Our understanding of the hippocampus has been framed by two landmark discoveries: the discovery by Scoville and Millner that hippocampal damage causes profound and persistent amnesia and the discovery by O’Keefe and Dostrovsky of hippocampal place cells in rodents. However, it has been unclear to what extent spatial representations are present in the primate brain and how to reconcile these representations with the known mnemonic function of this region. I will discuss a series of experiments that have examined neural activity in the hippocampus in monkeys performing behavioral tasks including foraging and spatial memory tasks in a virtual environment. These data demonstrate that behavioral task structure has a significant influence on hippocampal activity, with neurons responding to all salient events within the task. Taken together, these data are consistent with the idea that activity in the hippocampus tracks ongoing experience in support of memory formation.

“A context-dependent switch from sensing to feeling in the primate amygdala”

Katalin M. Gothard, M.D., Ph.D.
Professor of Physiology, Neurology, and Neuroscience The University of Arizona College of Medicine Department of Physiology
Abstract:
Tactile signals elicited in the periphery by social and affective touch acquire emotional significance in the brain. As the amygdala processes the valence of all sensory stimuli, we predicted that the positive valence of grooming would strongly activate the monkey amygdala. To test this hypothesis, we compared neural activity in the amygdala and the primary somatosensory cortex in response to social grooming and gentle airflow delivered to the same areas of the skin. Neurons in the somatosensory cortex responded to both types of tactile stimuli. In the amygdala, however, neurons did not respond to individual grooming sweeps even though grooming elicited autonomic states indicative of positive affect. Instead of responses to individual touch stimuli, a large proportion of neurons showed enhanced or suppressed baseline firing rates that persisted throughout a grooming bout. These changes were attributed to social context because the presence of the groomer alone could account for increases or decreases in baseline firing rates. It appears, therefore, that during grooming, the amygdala stops responding to external inputs on a short time scale but remains responsive to social context, and the associated affective states, on longer time scales.
