SUMMARY:Megan Peters\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Megan Peters\, Assistant Professor of Cognitive Science at UC Irvine. \nNeurocomputational approaches to the study of perceptual awareness \nDescription: When our brains process sensory information\, they transform it into a coherent\, conscious experience that we use to drive adaptive decisions and learning. In this talk I will describe several ongoing lines of research in my group that focus on understanding the neural and computational substrates of our subjective sense of the world around us. Specifically\, separating the study of phenomenology from the study of signal processing capacity is challenging\, so our group has been focusing on how the study of metacognitive evaluation (confidence judgements in our perceptual decisions) may shine light on these processes. Using a combination of behavior/psychophysics\, computational modeling\, noninvasive neuroimaging\, and machine learning in humans\, we seek to understand how the brain is capable of efficiently using sensory information and how this ability relates to our qualitative\, phenomenal experiences. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:The Havana Syndrome:  A Disorder of Neuropolitics?
DESCRIPTION:In one of the most extraordinary cases in the history of science\, the mating calls of insects were mistaken for a “sonic weapon” that led to a major diplomatic row. The lecture will trace the origins of the syndrome\, the response of the U.S. government\, the results of scientific investigations and opinions\, the evolution of the syndrome over time and similar phenomena that have occurred in the past. \nRobert W. Baloh\, MD is Professor of Neurology and Head and Neck Surgery (Emeritus) at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Author of 14 books and more than 350 articles in peer-reviewed journals\, he is a pioneer in the study of the vestibular system and clinical neurotology. He has a recent book on Havana Syndrome co-authored with Robert Bartholomew\, a sociologist from New Zealand. Two other recent books are: “Medically Unexplained Symptoms” and “Exercise and the Brain”.

SUMMARY:James L. McGaugh Distinguished Seminar Series with Dr. Elizabeth Gould
DESCRIPTION:Sex differences in early life adversity effects on hippocampal plasticity\n\nDr. Elizabeth Gould\nDepartment of Psychology\nPrinceton Neuroscience Institute \nHybrid Event\nThis seminar will be live-streamed via Zoom and In-Person. \nIn-Person: \nHerklotz Conference Room\nCenter for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory\n300 Qureshey Research Lab\nRSVP for Zoom Link\nAbstract: \nEarly life adversity (ELA) increases the likelihood of neuropsychiatric disease\, including anxiety and mood disorders. Sex differences exist in the incidence of these conditions\, and types of ELA are known to produce differential vulnerabilities. My talk will focus on our efforts to use two different mouse models of ELA to explore plasticity mechanisms underlying sex differences in behavioral outcomes. We found that an ELA model of neglect\, but not one of abuse\, increases ventral hippocampal-dependent avoidance behavior in both males and females. Overall\, females exhibit greater avoidance than males\, with further increases observed after ELA only during the diestrus phase of the estrous cycle. Increases in avoidance in ELA females during diestrus are likely related to diminished conversion of progesterone to the neurosteroid allopregnanolone in the ventral hippocampus. These changes are coincident with increased power of theta oscillations and altered composition of perineuronal nets\, extracellular matrix structures known to limit plasticity\, around parvalbumin-positive inhibitory interneurons. Sex differences are also observed in response to two types of ELA on social recognition\, another function that involves the hippocampus. Males\, but not females\, show deficits in social memory after exposure to ELA models of neglect or abuse. Despite these similarities within males\, underlying mechanisms differ depending on the type of ELA experienced. ELA-neglect reduced the number of stem cells and adult-born neurons in the hippocampus. This effect seems causally linked to social recognition deficits because chemogenetic stimulation of adult-born neurons in ELA-neglect mice restores this function.  By contrast\, ELA-abuse does not affect the number of adult-born neurons but increases perineuronal nets in the CA2 region. Collectively\, these findings highlight how sex and ELA type are important determinants of hippocampal plasticity and behavioral outcomes. \nFor more information please check out: https://gouldlab.princeton.edu/
