SUMMARY:Li Zhang\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:“Neural circuits for valence coding\, emotional states\, and motivated behaviors” \nJoin the UCI Center for Neural Circuit Mapping in a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Li Zhang of USC Medical School. \nAbstract: \nThe topic is about our recent studies on neural circuits in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) of the hypothalamus. MPOA plays a critical role in parental and prosocial behaviors via subpopulations of its GABAergic neurons. We now show that MPOA can be more generally viewed to serve as a critical hub to mediate both negative and positive emotional states and related behaviors through its glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons\, respectively\, with the former encoding extremely negative valence and mediating anxiety-like behaviors\, and the latter\, oppositely\, encoding positive valence and producing rewarding effects.  I will discuss the circuitry underlying how MPOA coordinately and antagonistically mediates behaviors related to different emotional states.

SUMMARY:Patrick J. Lao\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Please join the UCI Center for Aging Research in Down Syndrome (CFAR-DS) Oct. 28 at 11 am PT  for their Seminar Series presentationtitled Alzheimer’s disease and vascular neuroimaging in adults with Down syndrome\, presented by Patrick J. Lao\, PhD. \nPatrick J. Lao\, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Neurology Sciences at the Taub Institute\, Sergeivsky Center\, and Department of Neurology at Columbia University. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Medical Physics and completed his postdoctoral training at Columbia University in vascular MRI and applied cross-cultural neuropsychology. His research uses multimodal neuroimaging and plasma-based biomarkers to study Alzheimer’s disease. Areas of interest include applying these methods to adults with Down syndrome and in community-based settings. \nThis event will take place via Zoom: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://ucihealth.zoom.us/j/92151970794?pwd=NkMxbWh2aklXWFU4K1hsRUZqOEpKZz09 \nMeeting ID: 921 5197 0794\nPasscode: 954508
