SUMMARY:Sex-specific impact of immune signaling on adolescent neural and social development
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nJoin in person in the auditorium or via the zoom option. The presenter will be remote.\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID:  95496 072083\nPasscode: 072083\n\nIn this presentation\, Dr. Ashley Kopec will discuss published work examining the role of microglia\, the resident immune cells in the brain\, in neural and social development during adolescence in male and female rats. Then\, she will discuss unpublished work aimed at understanding how opioid exposures during adolescence interact with microglia-mediated development to alter future reward-related behaviors. \nThere will be a virtual trainee meeting with Dr. Kopec immediately following her talk (~noon). If you would like to attend the trainee meeting please email annie.ciernia@ubc.ca to sign up. There are limited spots available on a first come first serve basis.

SUMMARY:Brain-Tech 2021 Hackathon: student teams innovation showcase
DESCRIPTION:This colloquium will present innovation from the top student teams of the Brain-Tech 2021: Idea Generation and Hackathon for Brain Wellness. The Hackathon was hosted by the Dynamic Brain Circuits in Health and Disease Cluster\, the BC Brain Wellness Program\, and the Djavad  Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health. The Brain-Tech 2021 winners will discuss and demo their work which aims to improve brain wellness.

SUMMARY:Preventing and Responding to Sexualized Violence
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nZoom option if unable to attend in person:\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 95496 072083\nPasscode: 072083\n\nSVPRO will present UBC’s approach to preventing and responding to sexualized violence\, with a focus on key principles for supporting survivors. The presentation will include what constitutes sexualized violence and prohibited relationships\, standards and considerations for safe and respectful working and learning environments\, and how to respond to a disclosure\, with approaches to help mitigate impacts and reduce harm. This presentation is part one of a two-part series; part 2 (November 19) will focus on reporting options.

SUMMARY:The olfactory mosaic: How diverse networks shape perception
DESCRIPTION:Our perception of the world begins with stimuli in the environment but is then dramatically shaped by our expectations\, past experience\, and internal state.  Olfactory perception is especially sensitive to these kinds of modulation.  In fact\, input from a diverse network of brain regions conveying multisensory\, homeostatic and experience-dependent information converges on the olfactory system as early as the first stages of odor processing.  This talk will describe our work over the past few years on how activity in non-olfactory regions shapes odor coding and perception.  What you smell is not necessarily what you get. \nRudy North Lecture Theatre “Live” Screening \nZoom option if unable to attend in person: \n\nZoom link here (Click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 95496 072083\nPasscode: 072083

SUMMARY:Genome-wide approaches to understanding microglia identity and function
DESCRIPTION:Microglia are the macrophages of the brain and participate to its development\, homeostasis\, and defense against pathogens and injuries. Notably\, genetic evidence suggests that they are critically involved in neurodegenerative diseases\, including Alzheimer’s disease. However\, our knowledge of the molecular processes that regulate these cells in the brain remains very rudimentary. \nOver the past few years\, we have concentrated our efforts on trying to understand how gene regulation is achieved in microglia. In particular\, we provided evidence using mouse microglia that signaling factors in the brain provide important regulatory input that enable microglia to acquire their cellular identity. Importantly\, our recent work on human microglia shows that axes of signaling pathways – transcription factors that shape the microglial epigenome and transcriptional characteristics are relatively well conserved between the mouse and human. My talk will provide an overview of these recent findings\, and elaborate on the current approaches that we use to gain a better understanding of the epigenomic mechanisms underlying the different cellular functions of microglia in the brain. \nZoom option if unable to attend in person: \n\nZoom link here (Click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 95496-072083\nPasscode: 072083
