SUMMARY:Elizabeth Head\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nWhat we can learn about Alzheimer disease from people with Down syndrome \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Elizabeth Head\, professor of pathology at UC Irvine. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription:  Virtually all people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer disease neuropathology by the time they are 40 years of age.  Interestingly\, the first signs of cognitive decline may not occur until after 50 years of age\, and some people reach their 60’s without clinical decline.  By examining the brains of people with Down syndrome across the lifespan we can understand the order of events in the development of Alzheimer disease\, including when and where cerebrovascular changes and neuroinflammation occur.  Learning about the sequence of events of Alzheimer disease pathogenesis in Down syndrome will allow us to design prevention and treatment interventions.  Information learned from people with Down syndrome may in turn\, help us promote successful aging in this vulnerable group and may be translated to all people at risk of Alzheimer disease.

SUMMARY:Lisa Flanagan\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nRegulation of early neural development by glycosylation \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Lisa Flanagan\, Associate Professor of Neurology at UC Irvine. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription: \nDeciphering how neural stem cells function in early development to generate the cerebral cortex will help us better understand normal and disrupted brain formation and organization. We used neural stem cells\, genetic mouse models\, and innovative engineering approaches to uncover a novel role for glycosylation in directing early neural development. N-linked glycosylation of the neural stem cell plasma membrane controls neuronal and astrocytic differentiation\, likely through regulation of cell surface protein binding to extracellular ligands. Increased formation of cell surface highly-branched N-glycans promotes astrocyte generation whereas loss of these glycans disrupts neuron differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Glycosylation plays a critical and previously unrecognized role in cell differentiation and early brain development and may help to explain cellular responses to extracellular cues.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Vivianne L. Tawfik\, MD.\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED – Stay tuned for new date. \n  \nThe MSTP Distinguished Lecture Series is proud to announce our next speaker\, Dr. Vivianne L. Tawfik\, M.D.\, Ph.D.\, from the Department of Anesthesiology\, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine\, who is presenting Neuroimmune Interactions In Chronic Pain: From Clinical to Clinically-Informed Basic Science. Dr. Tawfik’s work has been pivotal towards understanding the contribution of peripheral immune cells and spinal cord glial towards chronic pain conditions. In particular\, her research has identified immune system differences between male and female mice that contribute towards divergent recovery between sexes after injury. As a physician-scientist\, Dr. Tawfik also leads an outpatient practice that treats chronic pain patients after limb injury or with chronic postsurgical pain. In addition to her role as an Associate Professor\, Dr. Tawfik also serves as the Director of the Fellowship in Anesthesia Research & Medicine (FARM) program. \n  \nAttendees (virtual and in-person) must register.

SUMMARY:Irvine Brain Bee
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the CNLM for the annual Brain Bee competition. \nThe program is directed by Manuella Oliveira Yassa and organized by a committee led by neuroscience PhD students and CNLM Ambassadors Rachael Hokenson and Winny Ning.  The goal of the Irvine Brain Bee is to inspire high school students in Orange County to learn about the brain and provide opportunities for engagement with university students and professors. \nThe 2023 Irvine Brain Bee Competition will take place on January 28\, 2023 on the UC Irvine campus. In addition to the competition itself\, the day will include neuroscience demonstrations and hands-on activities as well as panel discussions and a keynote lecture. The competition is 100% free for students. \nProgram participants will be required to be fully vaccinated or have an approved exception prior to the program.  Those with an approved exception will be required to provide proof of a negative test taken within 72 hours of the program.

SUMMARY:Javier Diaz Alonso\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nChasing the AMPAR slot(s). Multiple mechanisms modulate synaptic strength. \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Javier Diaz Alonso\, Assistant Professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology at UC Irvine. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription: \nLong-term potentiation (LTP) of excitatory synapses is essential for multiple forms of learning and memory formation. Pioneering work from CNLM members and others led to a model for NMDAR-dependent LTP where synaptic strengthening depends on the recruitment of AMPA receptors to the postsynapse. Despite decades of research\, the molecular mechanisms underlying the activity-dependent insertion of AMPA receptors at synapses\, and specifically which regions in the receptor complex are required for trafficking and docking\, are not fully understood. In the past few years\, we have assessed the role played by different protein domains of the AMPAR complex in these processes\, focusing on: i) the sequence diverse intracellular AMPAR C-tails\, ii) the extracellular ATDs\, which protrude into the synaptic cleft and iii) the AMPAR auxiliary proteins TARPs\, which interact with synaptic scaffolds. Our recent and ongoing work is revealing an important role for all of these 3 elements\, yet our data suggests that they play different roles in different synapses and control different AMPAR-dependent processes. I will discuss our unpublished work\, in collaboration with other CNLM labs\, dissecting novel molecular mechanisms modulating the activity-dependent synaptic accumulation and subsynaptic positioning of AMPARs to support novelty processing\, learning and memory formation.
