SUMMARY:Neuromatch Academy: Democratizing computational neuroscience education through interactive\, intensive instruction
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Neuromatch Academy (NMA) was founded in spring 2020 in response to two catalysts: (1) the recognition that traditional intensive summer programs in computational neuroscience are expensive and exclusive\, leaving out a large proportion of qualified and deserving trainee participants; and (2) the COVID-19 pandemic canceled these in-person summer schools anyway. We founded NMA with the goal of tackling these problems by providing online\, globally-accessible high-quality computational neuroscience training at a low\, waivable cost ($100USD or less) so that any student with the appropriate background and skillset to participate would be able to join. In its inaugural year\, NMA’s 3-week summer intensive program enrolled 1700+ students supported by 190+ teaching assistants from 60+ countries\, provided instruction in 14 languages\, and built an organizers’ community of over 300 neuroscience academics worldwide. Over 85% of enrolled students completed the course. Now\, we are designing new evaluation metrics to understand which elements worked best\, to continually improve\, and to understand how online learning can be optimized to best reach students across geographic\, political\, socioeconomic\, and linguistic barriers worldwide. So now we ask you: What would you like to see\, and how can NMA best pilot and optimize educational innovations that can be applied to other areas or fields? \nAbout the Speaker: Megan Peters is an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Sciences at UC Irvine and the President and co-founder of Neuromatch\, a nonprofit organization that provides online computational neuroscience education through the Neuromatch Academy (NMA) summer school. Peters’ academic research is on metacognition\, perception\, and consciousness with focus on computational and cognitive neuroscience methods in humans. She received her PhD in Psychology from UCLA in 2014 which was followed by a postdoc there\, and from 2017-2020 she was on the Bioengineering faculty at UC Riverside before moving to UC Irvine Cognitive Sciences in 2020. At NMA\, she is the President and Chairperson of the Board and is involved in curriculum development\, operations\, and evaluation among wearing many other “hats”. \n  \nRegister in advance to attend this meeting (unless already registered for DLL meetings this year) \nhttps://uci.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0sf-GsqTguGN1FP3nGFs_M43Eb6cyX9F7Y

SUMMARY:CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Kate M. Wassum\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Amygdala-cortical circuitry in reward learning and pursuit \nTo make adaptive decisions we must cast ourselves into the future and consider the outcomes of our potential choices. This prospective consideration is informed by our memories. I will discuss our lab’s recent work investigating the neural circuits responsible for encoding\, updating\, and retrieving reward memories for use in the considerations underlying decision making. We have taken a multifaceted approach to these investigations\, combining recording\, modern circuit dissection\, and behavioral tools. Our results indicate that the orbitofrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala work in a reciprocal circuit to mediate in these functions. The cognitive symptoms underlying many psychiatric disorders result from a failure to appropriately learn about and/or anticipate potential future events\, making these basic science data relevant to the understanding and potential treatment of mental illness.

SUMMARY:Development and Cell Biology Spring Seminar Series with Dr. Javier Apfeld
DESCRIPTION:C. elegans Processes Sensory Information to Choose Between Freeloading and Self-defense Strategies \nJoin the UCI Department of Developmental and Cell Biology in a virtual seminar with Dr. Javier Apfield\, Assistant Professor of the College of Science of Northeastern University. \nAbstract:\nHydrogen peroxide is the preeminent chemical weapon that organisms use for combat. Individual cells rely on conserved defenses to prevent and repair peroxide-induced damage\, but whether similar defenses might be coordinated across cells in animals remains poorly understood. In this seminar\, I will discuss our recent findings showing that in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans a neuronal circuit processes information perceived by two sensory neurons to control the induction of hydrogen-peroxide defenses in target tissues. We found that catalases produced by Escherichia coli\, the nematode’s food source\, can deplete hydrogen peroxide from the local environment and thereby protect the nematodes. In the presence of E. coli\, the nematode’s neurons signal via TGFβ-insulin/IGF1 relay to target tissues that they need not induce catalases and other hydrogen-peroxide defenses. This adaptive strategy is the first example of a multicellular organism modulating its defenses when it expects to freeload from the protection provided by molecularly orthologous defenses from another species. \n  \nPlease join via Zoom: https://uci.zoom.us/j/91254995926?pwd=N3hnanM2a1AwMUlDOUxpSkxTeTRtQT09 \nMeeting ID: 912 5499 5926 \nPasscode: 634218 \n

SUMMARY:ICAN Seminar -Dr. Arif Hamid
DESCRIPTION:Dopamine waves as a mechanism for spatiotemporal credit assignment. \nJoin the UC Irvine Center for Addiction Neuroscience in a virtual ICAN Seminar featuring Arif Hamid\, PhD\, from Brown University. \nAbstract\nSignificant evidence supports the view that dopamine shapes reward-learning by encoding prediction errors. However\, it is unknown whether dopamine decision-signals are tailored to the functional specialization of target regions. In this talk\, I will report on a novel set of wave-like spatiotemporal activation patterns in dopamine axons (and release) across the dorsal striatum that switch between different activational motifs. At reward delivery\, waves are altered by task demands\, propagating from dorsomedial to dorsolateral striatum during instrumental contingencies\, and in the opponent direction when rewards are independent of animal behavior. I will demonstrate that our results are consistent with a computational architecture in which striatal dopamine signals are sculpted by inference about agency\, and provide evidence for a spatiotemporally “vectorized” role of dopamine in credit assignment directed toward specialized “expert” striatal subregions.

SUMMARY:Works-In-Progess Series: Cognition and Political Ideology: A Study of Neuropolitics\, by Mark J. Fisher\, Davin L. Phoenix\, and Sierra Powell
DESCRIPTION:The relationship between political ideology and cognition has received little attention. In this presentation\, we will describe our pioneering investigation into the relationship between cognitive decline and political ideology. This work\, supported in part by the UCI Medical Humanities Initiative\, analyzed ideological self-identification\, political policy choices\, and cognition in individuals participating in the landmark UCI project The 90+ Study. We will describe our novel findings\, and their implications going forward. \nPlease register at: http://bit.ly/MFisher-Apr22 \n  \nBios: \nDr. Mark Fisher is Professor of Neurology at University of California\, Irvine\, where he holds appointments in the Departments of Anatomy & Neurobiology\, Political Science\, and Pathology & Laboratory Medicine\, along with the Beckman Laser Institute\, and is a member of UCI MIND. He received his MD from University of Cincinnati in 1975\, and after completing Neurology training at UCLA-Wadsworth VA Medical Center joined the faculty in the Department of Neurology at University of Southern California in 1980 where he established the first stroke program in Southern California. His edited work “Medical Therapy of Acute Stroke” was published in 1989\, years before the first successful acute stroke therapy clinical trials. At UCI\, he served as Chair of the Department of Neurology from 1998-2006\, established the UCI Stroke Center\, led the effort for UCI becoming the first academic medical center in the country to receive JCAHO certification as a primary stroke center\, and led the UCI Department of Neurology into the top ten for NIH research funding for Neurology Departments nationwide for the first time. His NIH stroke research grant (R01) has been funded for nearly 40 years\, and he has received approximately 50 citations of clinical excellence as a stroke neurologist by a variety of external organizations. He is currently engaged in clinical and basic vascular neurobiology research along with interdisciplinary investigations\, and provides stroke care in the inpatient\, emergency room\, and clinic settings. \nDavin L. Phoenix is an associate professor of political science at the University of California\, Irvine. He researches how race influences the emergence and effects of anger\, pride and hope in politics\, how protests and media narratives on policing influence state policies\, and how religious views shape the political behavior of people of color. His work has been published in The Journal of Social and Political Psychology\, Politics and Religion and Politics\, Groups and Identities. His book The Anger Gap: How Race Shapes Emotions in Politics is winner of the American Political Science Association’s 2020 Ralph J. Bunche Award for best scholarly work exploring ethnic and cultural pluralism\, and co-winner of the 2020 APSA award for best book on race and ethnic politics. Davin is a recipient of the 2017-18 Dean’s Honoree for Teaching Excellence Award\, and a 2019 UROP Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Fostering Undergraduate Research. \nSierra Powell is Chair of the Department of Geography and Political Science and Professor of Political Science at Mount San Antonio College. Her research focuses on American political behavior\, the politics of disability\, and the politics of health. Her work has appeared in American Politics Research\, Presidential Studies Quarterly\, the Journal of Health Politics\, Policy\, and Law\, Policy Studies and in other edited volumes.

SUMMARY:CNLM Virtual Colloquium  with Corey Harwell\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Development and diversity of neural cell types in the septum \nThe CNLM will be hosting Dr. Corey Harwell\, from the Department of Neurobiology of Harvard Medical School\, in a virtual colloquium where he will present his latest research. \nAbstract: The septum is ventral forebrain structure responsible for the regulation of emotional states including anxiety\, fear and depression. The septum contains an extremely diverse array of short- and long-range projecting GABAergic neurons distributed across its two histological subdivisions\, the medial and lateral septal nuclei. Both of these regions are heavily interconnected with other brain areas. It is currently unclear how septal neuronal diversity and circuit wiring are specified during development. Using molecular genetics and single-cell/nuclei RNA-seq we have begun to unravel the developmental logic for producing diverse neural cell types in the septum. Our future work is focused on understanding the specific contribution of developmentally specified neural cell types to the regulation of internal states carried out by the septum.
