SUMMARY:Elizabeth A. Buffalo\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium Series \nJoin the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM) for a hybrid event featuring Dr. Elizabeth A. Buffalo\, professor and chair of physiology and biophysics at the University of Washington. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \nNeural Dynamics of Memory Formation in the Primate Hippocampus  \n \nDescription:  \nOur 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.

SUMMARY:Katalin Gothard\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Katalin Gothard in the James L. McGaugh Distinguished Seminar Series In-Person or over Zoom! \n“A context-dependent switch from sensing to feeling in the primate amygdala”\n\nKatalin M. Gothard\, M.D.\, Ph.D.\nProfessor of Physiology\, Neurology\, and Neuroscience The University of Arizona College of Medicine Department of Physiology \nAbstract: \nTactile 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.

SUMMARY:Frances Wiseman\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:The CFAR-DS Research Seminar Series hosts scientists from UC Irvine and beyond who conduct research focused on Down syndrome\, including research ranging from human participants to animal models. This seminar series is intended for scientists\, although all are welcome to attend. \nOn Friday\, February 23\, 2024 at 11:00 am Pacific Time please join us via Zoom for a presentation by Frances Wiseman\, PhD titled “Understanding differences in Down syndrome – Alzheimer’s disease: a focus on amyloid-β formation and response.” \nFrances Wiseman\, PhD is Programme Leader for Animal Models at the UK Dementia Research Institute. Dr Wiseman will discuss her group’s recent research using combinations of Down syndrome and amyloid-β accumulation mouse models; to understand how additional copies of chromosome 21 genes other than APP may modulate Alzheimer’s disease development in people who have Down syndrome. This will include a discussion of Mumford et al 2022\, PMID: 35835549 and recent follow-up unpublished data examining the interferon amyloid-β response in a new mouse model of Down syndrome-Alzheimer’s disease.
