SUMMARY:Dr. Kaarina Kowalec: Depression polygenicity and its association with multiple sclerosis disease activity and progression.
DESCRIPTION:Zoom option if unable to attend in person:\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 91512 289258\nPasscode: 289258\n\nDepression is a common comorbidity in those with multiple sclerosis (MS) and is associated with faster MS disability progression. Identifying who may be at higher risk for depression or faster disease activity or progression may facilitate earlier identification. We will examine the polygenicity of comorbid depression in MS and whether it is associated with MS disease activity & disability progression in multiple cohorts from Canada\, the USA\, Sweden\, and UK Biobank.

SUMMARY:Dr. Carrie Ferrario: Alterations in brain & behavior that contribute to obesity
DESCRIPTION:Zoom option if unable to attend in person:\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 91512 289258\nPasscode: 289258\n\nWhile urges to eat are regulated by hunger\, satiety\, and energy demand\, they are also strongly influenced by sights\, sounds\, and smells that are associated with food (food cues). These food cues can influence feeding behavior\, triggering cravings that can promote overeating. Dr. Ferrario’s lab examines the neurobiological mechanisms of cue-triggered food craving\, and how these processes are influenced by susceptibility to diet-induced obesity and by consumption of sugary\, fatty\, “junk-food” diets. In her talk\, she will discuss how enhanced responsivity to food cues contributes to obesity\, and how eating “junk-foods” enhances excitatory transmission within the NAc to influence food “craving”. She will also highlight sex differences in these effects\, and the role that susceptibility to obesity plays in diet-induced plasticity.

SUMMARY:Dr. Aki Taruno: A chemical synapse that lacks vesicles
DESCRIPTION:Zoom option if unable to attend in person:\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 91512 289258\nPasscode: 289258\n\nChemical neurotransmission is essential for a variety of neural processes and is traditionally understood to be mediated by Ca2+-dependent exocytosis of synaptic vesicles. Nevertheless\, it has been recognized for decades that taste receptor cells in taste buds do not possess synaptic vesicles\, yet they can transmit gustatory information to the nervous system. Here I will describe the identification of a unique synapse of taste receptor cells where the ion-conducting pore of a voltage-gated channel\, CALHM1/3\, serves as the conduit for action potential-dependent neurotransmitter (ATP) release. This mechanism has been termed a ‘channel synapse.’ Anatomically\, a channel synapse is characterized by its tripartite structure\, which includes a presynaptic mitochondrion adjacent to a CALHM1/3-enriched plasma membrane that faces a post-synaptic afferent nerve. Our recent discoveries extend the roles of channel synapses to various extraoral physiological and pathophysiological processes.
