SUMMARY:James L. McGaugh Distinguished Lecture: Kay Tye\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Neural Representations of Social Homeostasis \nJoin the UCI Department of Neurobiology and Behavior for a virtual seminar featuring\, Dr. Kay Tye of the Salk Institute. \nAbstract: \nHow does our brain rapidly determine if something is good or bad? How do we know our place within a social group? How do we know how to behave appropriately in dynamic environments with ever-changing conditions?\nThe Tye Lab is interested in understanding how neural circuits important for driving positive and negative motivational valence (seeking pleasure or avoiding punishment) are anatomically\, genetically and functionally arranged.  We study the neural mechanisms that underlie a wide range of behaviors ranging from learned to innate\, including social\, feeding\, reward-seeking and anxiety-related behaviors. We have also become interested in “social homeostasis” — how our brains establish a preferred set-point for social contact\, and how this maintains stability within a social group.  How are these circuits interconnected with one another\, and how are competing mechanisms orchestrated on a neural population level? We employ optogenetic\, electrophysiological\, electrochemical\, pharmacological and imaging approaches to probe these circuits during behavior.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Ting\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:New opportunities for primate cellular neuroscience in the era of single cell genomics \nJoin the UCI Center for Neural Circuit Mapping for a hybrid seminar with Dr. Jonathan Ting from the Allen Institute for Brain Science. \nAbstract: \nHow many cell types exist in the brain and what are their unique functional properties?  Single cell transcriptomics provides a means to define discrete cell classes\, subclasses and types on the basis of gene expression signatures.  This approach has revolutionized neuroscience by providing foundational cell type taxonomies with unprecedented resolution and has led to the identification of previously unknown brain cell types.  In addition\, analytical tools enable precise alignment across diverse cell type taxonomies\, for example\, mapping of cell type homologies across species.  Such approaches will no doubt deepen our understanding of the evolution of brain cell types.  As a direct outcome of this progress\, a new challenge for the neuroscience field is to explore the unique cellular properties of these myriad brain cell types\, and to experimentally address whether transcriptomically distinct cell types serve functionally distinct roles in brain circuits.  Towards this aspirational goal\, how can we leverage the richness of single cell transcriptomics and epigenomics to target and manipulate this overwhelming diversity of brain cell types and across widely utilized mammalian model organisms?  In this talk I will describe the various projects and strategies my colleagues and I have developed at the Allen Institute to address these outstanding challenges\, with particular attention to creating new opportunities for primate cellular neuroscience.  I will focus on our published and unpublished biological discoveries coming from Patch-seq experiments exploring signature electrophysiological and morphological properties of transcripomically-identified primate neocortical cell types\, as well as the early implementation of first-in-class viral genetic tools for targeting brain cell types. \n  \nFor those registering for in-person there is a 22 max capacity. In addition\, to receiving your zoom virtual registration link\, you will receive a separate email reminder that you registered for the in-person.

SUMMARY:How Educational Inequities in the U.S. South Pre- and Post-Brown Shape Dementia Risk for Black and White Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Although education is a key determinant of cognitive function\, its role in determining Black-White disparities in cognitive function is unclear. This may be due\, in part\, to data limitations that have made it difficult to account for systemic educational inequities in the U.S. South experienced by older adults. In this talk\, guest speaker and health policy expert Dr. Katrina Walsemann of the University of Maryland\, College Park\, will present results from her ongoing projects funded by the NIA and the Alzheimer’s Association. RSVP >>

SUMMARY:CNCM Seminar: Dr. Edward Zagha
DESCRIPTION:Neural mechanisms of target stimulus selection and distractor stimulus suppression \nJoin the UCI Center for Neural Circuit Mapping in a Hybrid (Virtual and In-Person) Seminar featuring Edward Zagha\, MD\, PhD from UC Riverside. \nThose who wish to attend in person will receive details upon registration. \nAbstract: \n Goal-directed behavior requires the ability to respond to task-relevant target stimuli (selection) while inhibiting responses to extraneous distractor stimuli (suppression). To better understand the neural mechanisms underlying these processes\, we trained mice in an operant whisker detection task in which they learned to respond to brief stimuli in one whisker field (target) and ignore identical stimuli in the opposite whisker field (distractor). We subsequently performed a range of neuronal recording and perturbation experiments in expert mice while they were performing this selective detection task. In this talk\, I will present data from three studies related to the differential neural processing of target and distractor signals. First\, I will demonstrate the robust attenuation of distractor-evoked responses downstream of primary somatosensory cortex (Aruljothi et al.\, 2020). Second\, I will show that frontal cortex and dorsolateral striatum have highly similar task-related neuronal representations\, and yet make drastically different functional contributions to target selection and distractor suppression. Third\, I will provide evidence for a novel mechanism by which top-down signals from frontal cortex to sensory cortex contribute to target-distractor selectivity. Overall\, these studies reveal cortical and subcortical mechanisms by which sensory signals are appropriately routed according to goal direction (Zagha 2020).

SUMMARY:UCI MIND Seminar Series: Omonigho M. Bubu\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Obstructive Sleep Apnea\, Amyloid and Tau Burden\, and Alzheimer’s Disease Time-Dependent Progression \nGuest Speaker: Omonigho M. Bubu\, PhD \n\n\n\n\nDr. Bubu is an Assistant Professor and physician scientist at NYU Grossman School of Medicine\, in the Departments of Psychiatry and Population Health\, with a highly impactful programmatic research focus on sleep\, aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in blacks. He did his Ph.D. from University of South Florida and a postdoctoral fellow at NYU. Dr. Bubu was awarded an NIA funded Columbia Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Alzheimer’s disease Disparities Pilot grant to conduct original research on the interaction of obstructive sleep apnea and race on plasma tau\, and neurofilament light protein. Dr. Bubu’s research focuses on examining how micro-and-macro architectural sleep changes\, and vascular risk\, impact AD risk in blacks. Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with multifactorial risk factors. Recent evidence implicates disturbed sleep as an important risk factor. This presentation will include evidence implicating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as a risk factor for AD\, as a physiologic marker associated with AD pathology/biomarkers (i.e. amyloid and tau)\, and as a modifier of AD risk. Results from our recent study examining whether OSA has a direct neurotoxic effect that is independent of amyloid or tau\, sufficient to induce a prospective clinical diagnosis of cognitive decline\, and whether OSA’s indirect effect that promotes amyloid or tau accumulation\, combine with OSA to act synergistically to significantly increase AD progression risk will be presented. OSA’s association with novel plasma AD biomarkers\, race and sex specific mechanisms underlying OSA-AD risk as well as future research directions will also be discussed. \n\n\nFor questions\, contact vswarup@uci.edu and bmander@hs.uci.edu

SUMMARY:Eve Marder\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Perturbations Reveal that Degenerate Circuits Hide Cryptic Individual Variability \nThe Department of Neurobiology and Behavior will be hosting Eve Marder\, professor of biology at Brandeis University\, for a James L. McGaugh Distinguished Lecture. \nAbstract: \nMore than 40 years of work on the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system on the cardiac sac\, gastric mill\, and pyloric rhythms have described numerous instances of circuit reconfiguration by neuromodulation and sensory inputs. These reconfigurations can involve alterations in the frequency and phases relationships of rhythms\, and switching of neurons from participating in one circuit to another. Computational works shows clearly that there are multiple\, degenerate sets of parameters that can result in similar output patterns. Motivated by this\, we have studied the effects of several different perturbations on STG networks\, revealing animal-to animal differences in their responses that are not evident without extreme perturbation

SUMMARY:LAMP Seminar - Dr. Andy Shih
DESCRIPTION:Optical Dissection of Brain Capillary Function \nJoin the UCI Beckman Laser Institute & Medical Clinic for a virtual seminar featuring Dr. Andy Shih\, Assistant Professor at the Seattle Children’s Research Institute & University of Washington. \nAbstract \nMy laboratory uses in vivo multiphoton imaging and rodent models to shed light (quite literally) on regulation of cerebral blood flow. In particular\, we have focused recent attention on the vast capillary networks that distribute blood throughout the brain. We use light to both visualize capillary structure and flow\, as well as noninvasively manipulate neurovascular cells that control capillary flow. We specialize in the application and development of in vivo multi-photon imaging approaches to study brain microvascular structure and function in rodents. Our recent findings include the construction of capillary networks during early postnatal development\, regulation of blood flow in adulthood by capillary pericytes\, and capillary changes in gray and white matter that may contribute to metabolic insufficiencies during aging and dementia. I firmly believe that our efforts will provide a unique and physiologically relevant view of microvascular function\, dysfunction\, and repair\, and will yield strategies for protecting vascular function in diseases that degrade the brain’s microvasculature.
