SUMMARY:Dr. Steve Ramirez of Boston University presents
DESCRIPTION:Steve Ramirez\, PhD\nAssociate Professor of Psychological & Brain Sciences\nBoston University \nSeminar Title: “Artificially manipulating and imaging memory engrams” \nPlease join us and show support for our seminar speakers! \n(For those unable to attend\, a zoom link is available upon request to Mimi Le.) \nHost: Jesse Walsh \n“The mission of our lab is twofold: to reveal the neural circuit mechanisms of memory storage and retrieval\, and to artificially modulate memories to combat mental health disorders. We will do so in a multi-disciplinary fashion by combining virus engineering strategies\, immunohistochemistry\, physiology\, optogenetics\, functional imaging of targeted populations in vivo\, and a battery of behavioral assays. Our technical repertoire\, of course\, will evolve as our studies evolve. \nGiven that any given brain region interacts with numerous targets along exquisitely precise spatial and temporal dimensions — nothing in the brain exists in a vacuum — we’ll study the circuit-wide and behavioral manifestations of learning and memory across a variety of structurally and functionally connected areas. We believe that a systems-level analysis of memory that examines genetically-defined projection-specific cell-types\, while simultaneously surveying their real-time physiological dynamics\, is a tractable experimental path towards understanding and controlling this complex\, ephemeral process.” ~from the Ramirez Lab website \nFlyer [pdf] \n \n
