  • Elements of a Neurobiological Theory of Hippocampal Memory Function: Automaticity, Synaptic Tagging and Schemas
    • - Morris, R G M.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    The primary research focus of Dr. Morris is on developing a neurobiological account of the functions of the hippocampal formation in memory. No brain structure works in isolation and the hippocampus is no exception, with much of his present focus being on the impact of subcortical neuromodulatory inputs on memory encoding and consolidation, and on hippocampal cortical interactions in systems consolidation. NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity is shown to be critical for the encoding and intermediate storage of memory traces in this task, while AMPA receptor-mediated fast synaptic transmission is necessary for memory retrieval. Typically, these rapidly encoded traces decay quite rapidly over time. Synaptic potentiation also decays rapidly, but can be rendered more persistent by a process of cellular consolidation in which synaptic tagging and capture play a key part in determining whether or not it will be persistent. Synaptic tags set at the time of an event, even many trivial events, can capture the products of the synthesis of plasticity proteins set in train by events before, during or even after an event to be remembered. Tag-protein interactions stabilize synaptic potentiation and, by implication, memory. The behavioral implications of tagging are explored. Using a different protocol for flavor-place paired associate learning, it is shown that rats can develop a spatial schema which represents the relative locations of several different flavors of food hidden at places within a familiar space. This schema is learned gradually but, once acquired, enables new paired associates to be encoded and stored in one trial. Their incorporation into the schema prevents rapid forgetting and suggests that schema play a key and hitherto unappreciated role in systems-level memory consolidation. The elements of what may eventually mature into a more formal neurobiological theory of hippocampal memory are laid out as specific propositions with detailed conceptual discussion and reference to recent data.

    Dr. Morris is Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh and Head of Neuroscience and Mental Health at the Wellcome Trust. He has a degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge and a D.Phil from the University of Sussex. He has been active in public awareness of science activities throughout his career, including helping to write a neuroscience booklet distributed to all secondary schools in the UK. His principal research interest is in the neurobiology of learning and memory and he has published over 100 articles and 3 edited books in the field. His main academic contributions have included the development of the open-field Watermaze, a behavioral task for rodents that is now used worldwide.

  • mTOR: Master Regulator of Th1, Th2, Th17 and T reg Differentiation
    • - Powell, Jonathan.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.). Immunology Interest Group. (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Immunology
    Next weeks IIG seminar speaker is Dr Jonathan Powell. He is currently an Associate Professor of Oncology and Pharmacology in the Division of Immunology and Hematopoiesis at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore MD. Jonathan obtained his M.D./PhD. in 1992 from Emory University where he worked in the laboratory of Dr Aftab Ansari on the CD8 T cell immunogenicity of SIV proteins in rhesus macaques. He then did his residency in Internal Medicine at Johns Hopkins, and a Hematology-Oncology Fellowship at Harvard Medical School. In 1996 he came to the NIH for a postdoctoral Fellowship in the Laboratory of Dr. Ron Schwartz. While at NIH, he worked on several molecular mechanisms involved in CD4 T cell anergy including his important discovery that rapamycin allows T cell anergy to develop even in the presence of costimulation, a finding that he and John Tisdale eventually applied in the clinic to facilitate the establishment of bone marrow chimerism. Jonathan moved to Johns Hopkins as an assistant professor in the Oncology and Pharmacology Departments in 2001. There he continued to work on peripheral tolerance mechanisms, publishing an important paper in Immunity on the role of Egr 2 and 3 as negative regulators of T cell activation and a paper in Blood on the role of the A2A adenosine receptor in the induction of T cell anergy and iTregs. His most recent work has focused on the role of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) as a master regulator in determining T cell fate and it is this topic that he will present in his seminar to us. Jonathan is a very clear and engaging speaker, and this is a talk I am sure you wont want to miss.

    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    Many fundamental cellular processes are governed by genetic programs which employ protein-DNA interactions in regulating function. Owing to recent technological advances, it is now possible to design synthetic gene regulatory networks, and the stage is set for the notion of engineered cellular control at the DNA level.

    In this talk, we describe how techniques from nonlinear dynamics and molecular biology can be utilized to model, design and construct synthetic gene regulatory networks. We present examples in which we integrate the development of a theoretical model with the construction of an experimental system. We also discuss the implications of synthetic gene networks for biotechnology, biomedicine and biocomputing.

    Additionally, we present integrated computational-experimental approaches that enable construction of quantitative models of gene-protein regulatory networks using expression measurements and no prior information on the network structure or function. We discuss how the reverse-engineered network models, coupled to experiments, can be used:
      (1) to gain insight into the regulatory role of individual genes and proteins in the network,
      (2) to identify the pathways and gene products targeted by pharmaceutical compounds, and
      (3) to identify the genetic mediators of different diseases.

  • Refinement of Inhibitory Circuits - New Lessons from the Auditory System
    • - Kandler, Karl.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Dr. Kandler???s research is focused on understanding the mechanisms by which developing neuronal circuits become organized and fine tuned. His laboratory investigates these mechanisms using excitatory and inhibitory brainstem pathways in the mammalian sound localization system. In this seminar, Dr. Kandler will focus on the processes and mechanisms that occur during the topographic refinement of an inhibitory, GABA/glycinergic pathway (MNTB-LSO pathway). During the period of synaptic refinement, MNTB neurons transiently express the vesicular glutamate transporter 3 and co-release the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate which can activate postsynaptic NMDA receptors. Evidence will be provided that the seemingly paradoxical release of glutamate from GABA/glycinergic synapses is a novel and crucial mechanism that underlies synaptic reorganization and topographic sharpening of an inhibitory map.

    • - Scolnick, Edward M.

    • - Category : HHS Only
    Psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder have huge costs to society. An estimated one in four adults in America, or almost 58 million people, suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. Many of the major psychiatric disorders are life-long illnesses, with lost productivity and costs to our health care system that span decades. Progress in treating these disorders has been slow, because the underlying biological dysfunctions have remained unknown. However, by now exploiting the dramatic improvements that have occurred in genetic research, molecular biology, systems neuroscience, and human brain imaging, we could see equally dramatic improvements in the treatments of these disorders in our lifetime. This presentation will review the research by faculty members at MIT, MGH and the Stanley Center who are exploiting these new advances to
      (a) identify the genes that increase the vulnerability to psychiatric disorders,
      (b) develop animal models for these disorders that allow us to trace the relevant biological pathways,
      (c) manipulate neural circuits to improve the behavioral manifestations of disease, and
      (d) use functional brain imaging in human subjects to identify affected cognitive functions, predict specific treatment outcomes, and even treat psychiatric disorders.

  • Prefrontal control of fear expression: translational studies in rats and humans
    • - Quirk, Gregory J.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Special
    Classical studies of fear learning have emphasized the central role of the amygdala in acquiring and expressing fear memories. Recent work, however, is emphasizing the role of the medial prefrontal cortex in regulating the expression of these memories, via descending projections to the amygdala and other structures. In rats, converging evidence from recording, infusion, and microstimulation studies indicate that the infralimbic and prelimbic subregions of mPFC serve as ???on??? and ???off??? switches for fear expression. Plasticity in the infralimbic cortex is essential for retrieval of extinction memory, and is modulated by monoamines, NMDA-mediated bursting activity, and BDNF. Deficits in these mechanisms could explain the failure to retrieve extinction memory and may underlie symptoms of PTSD. Human homologues of rodent prefrontal areas show predicted changes in subjects undergoing extinction, as well as extinction failure in PTSD patients. Prefrontal activity levels could serve as ???biomarkers??? that predict extinction success and failure, and even clinical response to extinction-based therapies.
