SUMMARY:The effects of maternal immune activation on early development in an outbred strain of mice
DESCRIPTION:Our lab is interested in the neural bases for social function\, and we use mouse models for diseases that have social deficits at their core. This talk will present our recent work looking at postnatal development\, juvenile behaviours and autophagy in a mouse model of perinatal infection. \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: 95496 072083\nPasscode: 072083

SUMMARY:Reporting Options for Sexualized Violence
DESCRIPTION:SVPRO is back for a second session! This session will focus on the different options that are available for reporting when sexualized violence has occurred. Not everyone wants to report after being impacted by sexualized violence\, and that’s completely okay. When folks do want to report\, it’s important that they know the full range of options and considerations. Join us to learn about UBC systems\, police reporting\, and human rights reporting systems\, when each may apply\, and how SVPRO supports people navigating these processes. \nZoom option if unable to attend in person: \n\nZoom link here (Click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 95496 072083\nPasscode: 072083

SUMMARY:Development of a whole-brain memory trace pipeline for activity-dependent tagging murine lines
DESCRIPTION:We previously created a mouse model to permanently label neurons activated during learning\, the ArcCreERT2 mice (Denny et al.\, 2014\, Neuron). In our first publication\, we extensively characterized the ArcCreERT2 mice and manipulated various parameters to correlate behavioral expression with memory tagging. Using contextual fear conditioning (CFC)\, we showed that mice re-exposed to a fearful context freeze more and have a greater percentage of reactivated cells in the dentate gyrus (DG) and in CA3 than mice exposed to a novel context. Overall\, we found that context\, time\, adult hippocampal neurogenesis\, and stress impact cognition and mood\, and these alterations are paralleled by changes in memory trace activation in the hippocampus. In our more recent studies\, we have investigated how disease states and pharmacological manipulations impact memory traces (Perusini et al.\, 2017; Mastrodonato et al.\, 2018; Lacagnina et al.\, 2019; Leal Santos et al.\, 2021). \nOur ongoing/planned projects are to identify: 1) how individual memories are stored throughout the entire brain using a novel whole-brain imaging pipeline we have recently developed\, 2) how multiple memories are co-stored throughout the brain using a new activity-dependent viral strategy\, and 3) how disease states impact memories\, often resulting in memory loss. \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: 95496 072083\nPasscode: 072083

SUMMARY:Genome-wide approaches to understanding microglia identity and function
DESCRIPTION:Microglia are the macrophages of the brain and participate to its development\, homeostasis\, and defense against pathogens and injuries. Notably\, genetic evidence suggests that they are critically involved in neurodegenerative diseases\, including Alzheimer’s disease. However\, our knowledge of the molecular processes that regulate these cells in the brain remains very rudimentary. \nOver the past few years\, we have concentrated our efforts on trying to understand how gene regulation is achieved in microglia. In particular\, we provided evidence using mouse microglia that signaling factors in the brain provide important regulatory input that enable microglia to acquire their cellular identity. Importantly\, our recent work on human microglia shows that axes of signaling pathways – transcription factors that shape the microglial epigenome and transcriptional characteristics are relatively well conserved between the mouse and human. My talk will provide an overview of these recent findings\, and elaborate on the current approaches that we use to gain a better understanding of the epigenomic mechanisms underlying the different cellular functions of microglia in the brain. \nZoom option if unable to attend in person: \n\nZoom link here (Click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 95496-072083\nPasscode: 072083

SUMMARY:The olfactory mosaic: How diverse networks shape perception
DESCRIPTION:Our perception of the world begins with stimuli in the environment but is then dramatically shaped by our expectations\, past experience\, and internal state.  Olfactory perception is especially sensitive to these kinds of modulation.  In fact\, input from a diverse network of brain regions conveying multisensory\, homeostatic and experience-dependent information converges on the olfactory system as early as the first stages of odor processing.  This talk will describe our work over the past few years on how activity in non-olfactory regions shapes odor coding and perception.  What you smell is not necessarily what you get. \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: 95496 072083\nPasscode: 072083

SUMMARY:Preventing and Responding to Sexualized Violence
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nZoom option if unable to attend in person:\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 95496 072083\nPasscode: 072083\n\nSVPRO will present UBC’s approach to preventing and responding to sexualized violence\, with a focus on key principles for supporting survivors. The presentation will include what constitutes sexualized violence and prohibited relationships\, standards and considerations for safe and respectful working and learning environments\, and how to respond to a disclosure\, with approaches to help mitigate impacts and reduce harm. This presentation is part one of a two-part series; part 2 (November 19) will focus on reporting options.
