SUMMARY:Dr. Rutsuko Ito: Ventral hippocampal circuits and the arbitration of approach-avoidance conflict
DESCRIPTION:Approach-avoidance (AA) conflict resolution is a form of decision making that is fundamentally important for survival and requires the effective evaluation of affective stimuli or events with mixed outcomes (positive and negative). Despite the prevailing view of hippocampal involvement in learning and memory processes\, the hippocampus is also thought to be involved in the resolution of AA conflict by exaggerating the value of negative outcomes and increasing the tendency to avoid. Furthermore\, work from my laboratory has implicated the ventral\, but not the dorsal hippocampus\, in mediating affective processes involving learned AA conflict. In this talk\, I will be presenting a set of studies providing evidence of ventral hippocampal (vHPC) mediation of AA decision making when animals are exposed to affectively bivalent (conflicting) cues. I will also present chemogenetic evidence that the control over conflict-elicited AA  behaviours is subfield\, and pathway-specific\, with the investigation extending to the wider extrinsic connectivity of the vHPC with the lateral septum and ventral striatum. \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: 99412 188589\nPasscode: 188589

SUMMARY:Dr. Kate Wassum: Amygdala circuitry in reward learning and decision making
DESCRIPTION:To make adaptive decisions we must cast ourselves into the future and consider the outcomes of our potential choices. This prospective consideration is informed by our memories. I will discuss our lab’s recent work investigating the neural circuits responsible for encoding\, updating\, and retrieving reward memories for use in the considerations underlying decision making. We have taken a multifaceted approach to these investigations\, combining recording\, modern circuit dissection\, and behavioral tools. Our results are generally indicating that the basolateral amygdala\, midbrain\, and orbitofrontal cortex work in a circuit to participate in these functions. The cognitive symptoms underlying many psychiatric disorders result from a failure to appropriately learn about and/or anticipate potential future events\, making these basic science data relevant to the understanding and potential treatment of mental illness. \nZoom option if unable to attend in person: \n\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 99412 188589\nPasscode: 188589

SUMMARY:Dr. Edward F. Chang: Towards a Speech Neuroprosthetic
DESCRIPTION:Speaking is a unique and defining human behavior.  Over the past decade\, we have focused on deciphering the basic neural code that underlies our ability to speak fluently. \nDuring speech production\, vocal tract movement gestures for all speech sounds are encoded by highly specialized neural activity\, organized as a map\, in the human speech motor cortex.   A major effort is now underway to translate these findings towards building an articulatory-based speech neuroprosthetic device for people who cannot communicate. \n\n\n\nZoom option if unable to attend in person: \n\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 99412 188589\nPasscode: 188589
