SUMMARY:Dr. Ryan McLaughlin: Lost in Translation: Leveraging Preclinical Models to Interrogate Effects of Developmental Cannabis Exposure
DESCRIPTION:Maternal cannabis use is a growing public health concern\, yet the long-term effects of prenatal cannabis exposure remain elusive. Our understanding of how prenatal cannabis exposure affects the brain and behavior is critically informed by preclinical animal models that capture core components of human cannabis use. To this end\, our laboratory and others have recently developed more translational models of cannabis use that have potential to provide unprecedented insight into the protracted effects of cannabis exposure during sensitive developmental stages.  In this presentation\, I will describe recent data from our laboratory using a novel model of cannabis vapor self-administration in pregnant rat dams to investigate the long-term effects of maternal cannabis use on emotional reactivity\, cognitive flexibility\, and cannabis-seeking behavior. Additionally\, I will present emerging data from our laboratory revealing altered excitatory inputs onto corticostriatal projection neurons in cannabis-exposed adult offspring\, which could represent a mechanism by which prenatal cannabis exposure impacts reward-relevant behavior. Altogether\, our data support the use of the cannabis vapor self-administration approach to investigate long-term effects of maternal cannabis use in developing offspring. \nZoom option if unable to attend in person \n\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 99412 188589\nPasscode: 188589\n\n

SUMMARY:Dr. Fabian Voigt: Expanding the optical bag of tricks for neuroscience 
DESCRIPTION:Zoom option if unable to attend in person \n\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 99412 188589\nPasscode: 188589\n\nSeeing is believing and thus\, optical imaging techniques are extremely useful to study brain structure and function. I will present two projects aimed at providing the neuroscience community with better imaging instrumentation. In the first part\, I will introduce the mesoSPIM ( http://mesospim.org/ )\, an open-source light-sheet microscope that is optimized for fast imaging of large cleared tissue samples at 5-7 µm isotropic resolution. Since 2015\, the mesoSPIM evolved from a crude prototype into a highly capable instrument and we built a global community around it. Currently\, we are developing a benchtop mesoSPIM that is more compact and cost-efficient. In the second part\, I will talk about a recent project that takes inspiration from scallops and astronomy to build novel multi-immersion microscope objectives that are well suited for imaging cleared samples. These objectives combine long working distances (>1 cm)\, large FOVs (>1 mm)\, high numerical aperture (currently up to 1.08) with diffraction-limited resolution in any homogeneous medium ranging from air to the typical high-index immersion liquids used for imaging cleared tissue. They are especially well suited to augment low-to-mid resolution mesoSPIM overviews with high-resolution datasets.
