'Technologies for Rapid Generation of Knockout/Knock in Mouse Models: CRISPR/Cas9 and TurboKnockout'
  • Alfred Akateh

    Model Design Specialist

    While genetically engineered mouse/rat models have been used widely in biomedical research, the design and generation of these models can be complicated, time-consuming and costly. In this presentation, Cyagen’s model
    design capabilities will be presented while briefly reviewing the traditional pronuclear injection based transgenics, ES cell homologous recombination based gene targeting, and the recently developed CRISPR-mediated genome editing technology, with an emphasis on the pros and cons of each technology and their applications. Finally, Cyagen’s TurboKnockout technology which allows the generation of conditional knockout/knockin mouse models in as fast as 6 months will be highlighted.

    Abstract
    The habenula (Hb) is a brain region with increasing popularity due to its strong link to addiction, mood disorders and experience dependent fear. We demonstrated that Hb neurons respond to odors and light asymmetrically. Moreover, we showed that Hb neurons exhibit structured spontaneous activity that is spatially and temporally organized. This spontaneous activity resembles neural attractors, which can switch the preferred state of the Hb and regulate the transmission of sensory information to downstream monoaminergic brainstem nuclei. In order to explore the source of Hb spontaneous activity, we investigate the local connectivity within Hb and the global functional inputs to Hb. Our results showed that recurrent excitatory connections within Hb is important for maintaining spatio-temporal organization of Hb activity. Moreover, we observed that functional inputs form zebrafish homologues of hippocampus (Dl) and amygdala (Dm) and sensory inputs from visual and olfactory systems are the major drivers of spontaneous Hb activity. Our results suggested that these limbic and sensory inputs are integrated in Hb in a non-linear fashion and can regulate sensory representations in Hb. We propose that Hb lies in the heart of a brain wide network and act as “a hub” or “a switchboard”, which can regulate or gate the communication of sensory systems and limbic forebrain areas with the monoaminergic brainstem nuclei that control animal behaviors.

The Thalamic Visual Prosthesis Project
  • John S. PEZARIS

    Ph.D.
    Massachusetts General Hospital
    Harvard Medical School

    Abstract
    The field of visual prosthetics has concentrated primarily on two targets for stimulation, the retina and the primary visual cortex. The lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, the relay station between these two areas, has been largely ignored because of the difficulty of surgical approach. The development of deep brain stimulation techniques for addressing pathologies of the midbrain has opened surgical access to the thalamus, and motivates a reconsideration of targets for visual prosthetics.

    With this background, we have performed experiments in an animal model to demonstrate a proof of concept for a visual prosthesis based on thalamic microstimulation, followed by an experiment in a computer model to set basic engineering parameters for a thalamic visual prosthesis, in turn followed by a series of experiments with sighted humans to assess design performance. In this presentation we will review the compelling motivation for the thalamic approach, review the experimental results thus far, and provide a preview of future work.

Neoplastic stem cells in hematopoietic niche disruption: the paradigm of Primary Myelofibrosis
  • Dr. Ioanna TRIVIAI

    Virology, Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany

    Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are chronic hematological malignancies characterized by expansion of aberrant myeloid progenitors.
    Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) has the worst prognosis of all MPN and involves massive disruption of the hematopoietic niche leading to fibrosis/osteosclerosis development and/or transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In our studies to elucidate the trigerring event in PMF we identified a neoplastic stem cell population in patient peripheral blood responsible for disease initiation and development in vivo. Identifying the neoplastic stem cells in myeloproliferating neoplasms will provide the basis to decipher complicated niche interactions implicated in evolution of the chronic phase and leukemic transformation and introduce new therapeutical targets to eradicate the disease.

Femtosecond Crystallography opens a new Era in Structural Biology
  • Petra FROMME

    Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Director, Biodesign Center for Applied Structural Discovery Director of the Center for Membrane Proteins in Infectious Diseases Arizona State University

    Background
    Structure determination of proteins and other macromolecules has historically required the growth of high-quality crystals sufficiently large to diffract X-rays efficiently. The applicability of the method has been limited by radiation damage and time resolution. The recently developed technique of Serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography (SFX) an X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) to obtain high-resolution structural information from microcrystals has overcome these limitations.

Do Astrocytes Compute? Making the Point on Neuron-Glia Interactions
  • Dr. Maurizio De Pittà

    Abstract
    In recent years, the simultaneous recognition that astrocytes sense neighboring neuronal activity and release neuroactive agents (or “gliotransmitters”) has been instrumental in the uncovering of the many possible roles played by these cells in the regulation of synaptic transmission and neuronal activity. These findings suggested that information travels and is processed not just in the neuronal circuitry but in an expanded neuron-glia network. However much remains elusive about the role of astrocyte signaling in brain computation. Inspired by recent experiments on neuron-astrocyte interactions at cortical synapses, I will present theoretical arguments that suggest novel possible mechanisms whereby astrocytes could take part in the processing and storage of information by the brain. From subcellular to network levels, the analysis of the signaling pathways underlying these mechanisms refines our notion of neural communication and has profound implications on our understanding of brain function.

Encoding and Consolidation of Memories in the Rodent Hippocampus
  • Vassilis CUTSURIDIS

    Poirazi's Lab

    Abstract
    The rodent hippocampus is one of the most studied brain regions. The hippocampus plays an important role in the encoding, retrieval and consolidation of spatial and episodic memories. Although much is known about the anatomical, physiological and molecular characteristics as well as the connectivity and synaptic properties of various cell types in the hippocampal microcircuits, how these detailed properties of individual neurons give rise to the encoding, retrieval and consolidation of memories remains unclear. Computational models play an instrumental role in providing clues on how these processes may take place.

    In this talk, I will present three computational models of the region CA1 of the hippocampus at various levels of detail (Cutsuridis et al. (2010) Hippocampus 20(3): 423-446; Cutsuridis and Hasselmo (2012) Hippocampus 22: 1597-1621; Saravanan et al., under review). Issues such as memory capacity, recall performance, memory replay, and phase precession during various brain rhythms and in the presence of neuromodulation and various types of inhibitory interneurons will be addressed. My models lead to a number of experimentally testable predictions that may lead to a better understanding of the biophysical computations in the rodent hippocampus.
