SUMMARY:Translational Medicine and Physiology Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Neural circuits underlying sleep and emotional regulation\nJanuary 10 \nNoon – 1:00 p.m. PST \nWhere \nSCCRS 250 and via Zoom \nMeeting ID: 923 5507 9987\nPasscode: 821370 \nAbout the speaker and seminar: \nShinjae Chung\, PhD\, Assistant Professor in Department of Neuroscience\, Chronobiology Program\, Perelman School of Medicine\, University of Pennsylvania\, will be giving the Translational Medicine and Physiology’s seminar entitled “Neural circuits underlying sleep and emotional regulation”. \nGood quality sleep is essential for our well-being. Sleep disturbances can therefore negatively impact our mental and physical health. We show that acute psychosocial stress in mice disrupts sleep\, by causing frequent arousals\, disrupting slow (~minute) oscillations in the electroencephalogram and suppressing REMs. These changes were reflected in frequent activation of noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus (LC-NE) during NREMs. Activating LC-NE neurons disrupted the sleep quality similar to stress\, while inhibiting them after stress improved sleep partially through their projections to the preoptic area\, a crucial sleep center. Our study reveals that LC-NE neurons and their interactions with hypothalamic sleep neurons orchestrate the sleep microarchitecture and play a crucial role in mediating the negative impact of stress on sleep. \nView lab website: https://chunglab.med.upenn.edu/

SUMMARY:SPRC Seminar Series - Understanding Socio-environmental Determinants of Sleep: From Couples to Communities to Policy
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Socio-environmental Determinants of Sleep: From Couples to Communities to Policy\nWhen: \nFebruary 7 \nNoon – 1:00 p.m. \nWhere: \nJoin via Zoom or in person at the Spokane Center for Clinical Research and Simulation (SCCRS/SCRS)\, room 250 \nMeeting ID: 920 6720 1984\nPasscode: 398814 \nWendy Troxel\, PhD\, will be giving the Sleep and Performance Research Center’s Seminar entitled “Understanding Socio-environmental Determinants of Sleep: From Couples to Communities to Policy.” \nDr. Troxel is a Senior Behavioral Scientist at the RAND Corporation and is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and University of Utah. Her research focuses on the interface between sleep\, the social environment\, and health\, and the implications for public policy. Dr. Troxel is the leading authority on sleep in the context of close relationships and is author of the book “Sharing the Covers: Every Couple’s Guide to Better Sleep”. \nSleep is a critical health behavior and one that is typically shared between adult romantic partners. However\, the vast majority of sleep research has largely viewed sleep as an individual behavior. Her presentation will highlight Dr. Troxel’s work that examines how social environments\, from our closest connections to the neighborhoods in which we live\, and the public policies under which we live\, influence how we sleep. This collection of work will demonstrate that sleep is deeply embedded in our social environments and will highlight the importance of considering multi-level determinants of sleep health and sleep health disparities among marginalized populations.

SUMMARY:Translational Medicine and Physiology Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Use of Caenorhabditis elegans as a model to study the neural-gut axis\nMay 23 \nNoon – 1:00 p.m. \nAvailable in person at the Spokane Center for Clinical Research and Simulation (SCCRS) 250 or via Zoom \nMeeting ID: 934 5409 3755 \nAlejandro Aballay\, PhD\, Professor and Chair\, Molecular Microbiology and Immunology\, Oregon Health & Science University\, School of Medicine will be visiting WSU Spokane for this Translational Medicine and Physiology seminar series. \nAnimals have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to modify specific properties in response to changes such as those that occur during the response to microbial infections. The nervous system\, which can sense many types of environmental stimuli\, may help integrate information to activate behavioral and molecular immune defenses. This general control of immune pathways is crucial for the homeostasis of the organisms because the activation of the immune system accounts for the major physiological\, metabolic\, and pathological responses to infections. The mechanisms by which modulation of neuroendocrine pathways provide feedback from the intestine during infection to modulate the behavior\, learning\, and microbial perception by the host will be presented. \nFor questions contact Michelle Sanchez at michelle.r.sanchez@wsu.edu.

SUMMARY:Translational Medicine and Physiology Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Molecular mechanisms of neuronal aging in C. elegans\nOctober 10\, 2023\nNoon – 1:00 p.m. PDT\nSCCRS 250 or via Zoom\nMeeting ID: 970 1395 6437\nPasscode: 563108\nSpeaker: Dong Yan\, PhD\nAssociate Professor in the Departments of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology\, Neurobiology\, Cell Biology at the School of Medicine\, Duke University \nAbout the Presentation\nAging-associated neurodegenerative diseases are major threats to the aging population. Patients suffering from these diseases have problems with memory\, cognition and behavior. Unfortunately\, none of aging-associated neurodegenerative diseases are curable\, and most of\, if not all\, the clinical trials targeting known factors of these diseases have ended in failure. It seems that we need to rethink the influential factors affecting the onset of these diseases. Aging\, which is natural to all of us\, is the most obvious one of them. Yet\, we do not fully understand the aging of the nervous system. C. elegans is one of the leading model organisms to study aging and neurobiology\, and many factors identified in C. elegans also play similar functions in mammals. Using C. elegans as model\, my lab is discovering conserved mechanisms playing key roles in regulating neuronal aging. In this seminar\, I will present our recent studies of cell autonomous and nonautonomous mechanisms of neuronal aging. \nDr. Yan received a B.S. in Biology from Nankai University in 2001. Following an interest in neuroscience\, he joined the Institute of Neuroscience\, the Chinese Academy of Sciences\, where he discovered the role of AKT local degradation in the establishment/maintenance of neuronal polarity. As a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California\, San Diego\, where he demonstrated the essential role of a conserved MAP kinase pathway\, the DLK-1 pathway\, in axon regeneration and synapse regulation. Dr. Yan joined Duke University in September 2013. His lab focuses on addressing the molecular mechanisms undying neural circuit formation during development and neurodegeneration in aging. \nFor more information contact Michelle Sanchez.

SUMMARY:Sleep and Performance Research Center Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Peering into the Operating System: Sleep and Disease\n\nDate: January 23\, 2024 CANCELLED\n\nPresented by Washington State University – Sleep and Performance Research Center \nKeith Hengen earned his PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, and\, as a postdoctoral researcher\, worked under the guidance of Gina Turrigiano at Brandeis University. There\, he delved into the core principles of homeostatic plasticity in the intact brain and began exploring topics such as sleep\, emergent dynamics\, and optimal computation. In 2017\, Keith assumed a faculty position in the Department of Biology at Washington University in St. Louis. The Hengen Lab primarily posits that the most important feature of neurobiological computation is reliability\, which serves as a foundational element for learning\, complex behavior\, and cognition. To explore this\, the lab employs a multidisciplinary approach that includes long-term neurophysiology\, computational modeling\, theory\, and cell biology. Keith’s work has been recognized through several prestigious awards\, including the Allen Institute’s Next Generation Leader Award and the BrightFocus Foundation’s Outstanding Achievement Award in Alzheimer’s Disease Research. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Sleep and Performance Research Center Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Washington State University – Sleep and Performance Research Center \nCircadian Rhythms and Drosophila Memory Formation\nFebruary 27\, 2024\n12:10 – 1 p.m. PDT\nSCCRS 250 or via Zoom\nMeeting ID: 929 8806 3367\nPasscode: 372616\nSpeaker: Jerry Yin\, PhD\nProfessor\, Medical Genetics and Neurology\, University of Wisconsin-Madison \nJerry Yin received his PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Molecular Biology. After completing his post-doctoral work at MIT and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory where he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2000\, he returned to UW-Madison in 2004 where he is now a Professor in the Genetics and Neurology department. \nDr. Yin’s lab uses molecular\, genetic\, and cellular approaches to answer questions on neuronal function and dysfunction. They are focused on how memories are formed and persist in the brain. Circadian and sleep related processes are part of this process. Most of the lab work centers around the cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway. In fly models of disease\, sleep and cAMP signaling are prodromal endophenotypes that are causally involved in disease progression. Dr. Yin’s lab is interested in why they are dysfunctional\, and how to overcome their problems. \nQuestions? Contact Michelle Sanchez at michelle.r.sanchez@wsu.edu.
