SUMMARY:Dr. Pinar Ayata: Neurodegenerative Functions of Microglia in Alzheimer’s Disease
DESCRIPTION:The brain’s primary immune cells\, microglia\, are a leading causal cell type in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Yet\, the mechanisms by which microglia can drive neurodegeneration remain unresolved. Here\, we discover that a conserved stress signaling pathway\, the integrated stress response (ISR)\, characterizes a microglia subset with neurodegenerative outcomes. Autonomous activation of ISR in microglia is sufficient to induce early features of the ultrastructurally distinct “dark microglia” linked to pathological synapse loss. In AD models\, microglial ISR activation exacerbates neurodegenerative pathologies and synapse loss while its inhibition ameliorates them. Mechanistically\, we present evidence that ISR activation promotes the secretion of toxic lipids by microglia\, impairing neuron homeostasis and survival in vitro. Accordingly\, pharmacological inhibition of ISR or lipid synthesis mitigates synapse loss in AD models. Our results demonstrate that microglial ISR activation represents a neurodegenerative phenotype\, which may be sustained\, at least in part\, by the secretion of toxic lipids. \n

SUMMARY:Dr. Charan Ranganath: The Boundaries of Memory: How Cortico-Hippocampal Interactions at Event Boundaries Support Memory and Prediction.
DESCRIPTION:In neuroscience\, episodic memory is depicted as a process of activating “engrams” in the hippocampus that provide a static and faithful record of the past. In reality\, behavioral research has established that human memory is dynamic and constructive\, such that we do not replay the past\, but rather\, we rely on prior knowledge about events\, along with a small amount of retrieved information to imagine how the past could have been. Drawing from this work\, I propose a radical alternative to the dominant view in systems neuroscience: Rather than recording every moment of experience\, the brain might reconstruct past events from prior knowledge and a small amount of event-specific information encoded at moments of high uncertainty or prediction error called “event boundaries”. Our data are consistent with the view that the hippocampus and neocortex serve as complementary learning systems\, with the former playing a role in recording snapshots of cortical activity at event boundaries\, and the latter involved in using prior knowledge to understand and reconstruct past events. Beyond episodic memory\, this division of labor might be computationally optimal for spatial navigation\, prediction\, and decision-making. \n

SUMMARY:Crafting Visual Explanations of Complex Science: Philosophy and Practice
DESCRIPTION:This month\, Martin Krzywinski\, Canada’s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre will present “Crafting Visual Explanations of Complex Science: Philosophy and Practice.” \nYou’ll learn practical guidelines for crafting visual explanations of your science: form follows function\, treat everything as data\, seek crispness\, fight the shackles of convention\, and ask yourself “Is this good for the reader or for me?”. To illustrate these ideas concretely\, Martin will take you through the process of redesigning figures\, posters and graphical abstracts — submitted by you or from past case studies. \nSubmit your work to see this process applied to graphics that are directly relevant to you: https://bit.ly/matrix-n \nSee event poster for more details \n  \nZoom link if unable to attend in person: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/5936706150?pwd=bWFoeDNGMkk2ZVNOQk9FTFZIT0lZdz09&omn=62102214283
