SUMMARY:How Immune Cells Help Wire the Brain: Implications for Autism and Psychiatric Illness
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Dr. Beth Stevens will discuss recent work that implicates brain immune cells\, called microglia\, in sculpting of synaptic connections during development and their relevance to autism\, schizophrenia and other brain disorders. \nRecent research has revealed a key role for microglia and a group of immune-related molecules\, called complement\, in normal developmental synaptic pruning\, a process required to establish precise brain wiring. Emerging evidence from Stevens’ lab and others suggest aberrant regulation of this pruning pathway may contribute to synaptic and cognitive dysfunction in a host of brain disorders\, including schizophrenia. Studies also suggest that a person’s risk of schizophrenia is increased if he or she inherits specific variants in complement C4\, which plays a well-known role in the immune system but also helps sculpt developing synapses in the mouse visual system. \nTogether these findings may help explain known features of schizophrenia\, including reduced numbers of synapses in key cortical regions and an adolescent age of onset that corresponds with developmentally timed waves of synaptic pruning in these regions. Stevens will discuss this and ongoing work to understand the mechanisms by which complement and microglia prune specific synapses in the brain. A deeper understanding of how these immune mechanisms mediate synaptic pruning may provide novel insight into how to protect synapses in autism and other brain disorders. \nDr. Stevens is an assistant professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and the F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center at Boston Children’s Hospital and a member of the Broad Institute. Her laboratory seeks to understand how neuron-glia communication facilitates the formation\, elimination and plasticity of synapses — the points of communication between neurons during both healthy development and disease states. Stevens is a recipient of several young investigator awards\, including the Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholar in Aging; John Merck Scholar Program; Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers; and a MacArthur Fellowship.

SUMMARY:Randomness
DESCRIPTION:Is the universe inherently deterministic or probabilistic? Perhaps more importantly — can we tell the difference between the two? \nHumanity has pondered the meaning and utility of randomness for millennia. There is a remarkable variety of ways in which we utilize perfect coin tosses to our advantage: in statistics\, cryptography\, game theory\, algorithms\, gambling and more. Indeed\, randomness seems indispensable! Which of these applications survive if the universe had no randomness in it at all? Which of them survive if only poor quality randomness is available\, e.g. that arises from “unpredictable” phenomena like the weather or the stock market? \nA computational theory of randomness\, developed in the past three decades\, reveals (perhaps counterintuitively) that very little is lost in such deterministic or weakly random worlds. In this talk\, Dr. Wigderson will explain the main ideas and results of this theory. \nDr. Wigderson has been a professor in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study since 1999. There\, he leads the Institute’s Computer Science and Discrete Math Program and works in the theory of computation\, a field which studies the mathematical foundations of computer science. He is interested in algorithms\, Boolean and arithmetic circuit complexity\, communication and proof complexity\, cryptography\, randomness\, as well as the interactions of the field with other sciences including mathematics\, physics\, biology and economics. \nSign up here.

SUMMARY:Nanotechnology for Massively-Parallel\, Multi-Physical Interrogation of Brain Activity
DESCRIPTION:Although our understanding of the properties of individual neurons and their role in brain computations has advanced significantly over the past several decades\, we are still far from elucidating how complex assemblies of neurons — that is\, brain circuits — interact to process information. In 2011\, six U.S. scientists from different disciplines banded together\, outlined a vision [1]\, and convinced the Obama administration of the unprecedented opportunity that exists to launch a coordinated\, large-scale international effort to map brain activity. This culminated in the U.S. BRAIN Initiative (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies)\, which was launched in 2013. Their perspective was predicated\, in part\, on the current level of maturity of diverse fields of nanotechnology and silicon very-large-scale integration (VLSI)\, which can now be coalesced to create unprecedented tools for massively-parallel interrogation of brain activity. \nIn this lecture\, Michael Roukes will outline the immense complexity of such pursuits and the hopes that were originally articulated and survey the existing technological landscape to assemble the requisite instrumentation. Focus will then turn to ongoing collaborative efforts toward new tools for massively multiplexed\, multi-physical interrogation of brain activity. Opportunities for realizing this vision within the new field termed integrated neurophotonics will be described; it leverages advances in integrated nanophotonics\, optogenetic reporters and effectors for neural recording and stimulation\, and recent developments in implantable\, multi-site neural nanoprobes based on silicon VLSI. \nRoukes is the Robert M. Abbey Professor of Physics\, Applied Physics\, and Bioengineering at the California Institute of Technology. His scientific interests range from quantum measurement to applied biotechnology — with a unifying theme of the development\, very-large-scale integration\, and application of complex nanosystems to precision measurements in physics\, the life sciences\, and medicine. Roukes was the founding Director of Caltech’s Kavli Nanoscience Institute (KNI) from 2003-2006. In 2007\, he co-founded the Alliance for Nanosystems VLSI (very-large-scale integration) with scientists and engineers at CEA/LETI in Grenoble\, which maintains a billion-dollar-scale microelectronics research foundry (chip factory). He then continued as co-director of Caltech’s KNI from 2008 until 2013. Since then he has returned to full-time pursuit of research efforts with his group and collaborators worldwide. Concurrent with his Caltech appointment\, he has held a Chaire d’Excellence in nanoscience in Grenoble\, France since 2008. Among his honors\, Roukes is a Fellow of the American Physical Society\, a recipient of the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award\, and has been awarded Chevalier (Knight) dans l’Ordre des Palmes Academiques by the Republic of France. \n[1] Alivisatos A.P.\, Chun M.\, Church G.M.\, Greenspan R.J.\, Roukes M.L.\, Yuste R.\, The Brain Activity Map project and the challenge of functional connectomics.

SUMMARY:From Covert Consciousness to Human Rights: Neuroethics and the Neuroscience of Disorders of Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Dr. Joseph J. Fins will address how progress in the neurosciences (neuroimaging and neuroprosthetics) has revolutionized our understanding of disorders of consciousness and opened up the possibility of restoring functional communication for these patients. A worthy scientific pursuit\, he will argue that catalyzing a re-emergent voice from covert consciousness is a moral imperative\, which can help reintegrate patients into the nexus of home and community. As such\, this effort is a civil rights issue for a population long marginalized. But for rights to come to mind\, patients will need greater access to medical care\, research and commitment from the neuroscience community.

SUMMARY:Geometry\, Topology and Physics
DESCRIPTION:This talk will introduce an overview of some of the most important concepts and ideas from geometry and topology and then describe the recent interplay between these mathematical subjects and high energy theoretical physics\, interactions that have been of a fundamentally different nature from earlier ones. \nFrom the time of Newton through the middle of the 19th century\, physics and the analytic/geometric side of mathematics were one discipline — natural philosophy. During the 19th century\, the subjects began to separate as analysis required a more logically rigorous foundation. This separation accelerated with the introduction of modern geometry and topology around 1850\, with its need for a similar rigor. In the early 20th century\, there were some spectacular convergences of the two subjects\, but overall their trajectories since 1850 have taken them ever farther apart. The last 40 years have witnessed renewed\, robust interactions between geometry/topology and physics that have resulted in great advances in both disciplines. \nJohn Morgan is a professor of mathematics and founding director of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University. His work is in the areas of geometry and topology. He has concentrated study of manifolds and smooth algebraic varieties. His most recent works include books\, jointly with Gang Tian\, explaining in detail the proof of the Poincaré conjecture and the geometrization conjecture\, both of which concern the nature of three-dimensional spaces. \nMorgan received his Ph.D. from Rice University in 1969. He was an instructor at Princeton from 1969 to 1972\, an assistant professor at MIT from 1972 to 1974\, and an associate professor and then professor at Columbia University from 1974 to 2009. In 2009\, he joined Stony Brook University as Simons Center for Geometry and Physics Director. His awards include the Levi L. Conant Prize of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) in 2009. He is a member of the AMS\, an AMS Fellow (2013)\, and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.

SUMMARY:Potholes and Progress on the Road to Translational Treatments in Autism Spectrum Disorder
DESCRIPTION:Emerging genomic and neuroscience findings have delivered hypotheses that are now being tested in autism spectrum disorder and related genetic syndromes. Unfortunately\, these clinical trials have not yet yielded positive results\, suggesting a need to step back and evaluate the science of testing new treatments for neurodevelopmental disorders. \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Jeremy Veenstra-VanderWeele will outline critical challenges\, both conceptual and practical\, to translating genomic\, cellular\, and animal model research into new treatments in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). He will discuss the limitations to conclusions drawn from work in the laboratory as they are extrapolated to the clinic. He will also describe common pitfalls in clinical trials\, including mismatches between hypotheses and study populations\, substantial “placebo” effects\, and subjective outcome measures. Framing these challenges in the context of past successes in ASD treatment research\, he will suggest guideposts as we work toward neurobiologically based treatments for ASD. \nJeremy Veenstra-VanderWeele is the Mortimer D. Sackler\, M.D.\, associate professor in psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center and the New York State Psychiatric Institute. He completed his M.D. and residency training at the University of Chicago\, postdoctoral training in neuroscience at Vanderbilt University\, and moved to Columbia in 2014. As a child psychiatrist and developmental neuroscientist\, his primary motivation is to deliver new treatments to children with autism spectrum disorder and related neurodevelopmental disorders.

SUMMARY:Genomic Insights into Human Cortical Development  and Neurodevelopmental Disease
DESCRIPTION:The developing human cortex contains a massively expanded outer subventricular zone\, not found in rodents\, that contains neural progenitor cells responsible for an evolutionary increase in cortical size and complexity. Transcriptome profiling of these cells has provided a novel model of primate corticogenesis and provided insights into lissencephaly (smooth brain syndrome) and microcephaly (smaller than normal brain size). \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Arnold Kriegstein will describe recent advances in our understanding of the unique features of human cortical development. He will highlight an evolutionary increase in the number of a specific subtype of neural stem cell\, oRG cells\, which in concert with their transit amplifying daughter cells\, contributed to increased cortical size and complexity of the human brain. He will also describe how mRNA sequencing of single human progenitor cells and immature cortical neurons led to a novel model of human cortical development and provided insights into the origins of neurodevelopmental disease. \nDr. Kriegstein received his B.A. from Yale University and his M.D. and Ph.D. from New York University in 1977.  He completed residency training in neurology at Harvard University and is a board-certified neurologist. He has held academic appointments at Stanford\, Yale and Columbia. In 2004\, he became the founding director of the Broad Stem Cell Center at the University of California\, San Francisco. His research focuses on development of the embryonic human and mouse brain.
