SUMMARY:Neuroscience Seminar Series for Rising Scholars: Amber Howell\, PhD (PI: Linden Parkes &  Avram Holmes)
DESCRIPTION:“Thalamic Connectivity Constrains Functional Brain Dynamics”\nSpeaker: Amber Howell\, PhD\nPostdoctoral Fellow\, PI: Drs. Linden Parkes & Avram Holmes \nDate and Time: Monday\, April 27\, 2026\, 12:00 PM \nIn-Person: Room 127\, Staged Research Building (SRB)\, Busch Campus \nJoin via Zoom: Please email the host\, Dr. Noelle Stiles (noelle.stiles@rutgers.edu)\, or check the CAHBIR Slack #General thread for the link \nAbstract: Understanding how flexible brain dynamics emerge from a relatively fixed anatomical architecture is a fundamental goal in neuroscience. Mounting evidence points to the engagement of thalamic loops as a crucial mechanism by which cortical areas achieve functional flexibility. Through their dense\, reciprocal anatomical connections spanning the cortex\, thalamic loops are well positioned to shape brain dynamics\, yet their contribution to functional brain organization remains poorly defined\, particularly in humans. Here\, we integrate multimodal neuroimaging and behavioral data from a large cohort of healthy adults\, along with post-mortem tissue samples\, to characterize how the pattern of anatomical connections within the thalamus constrains cortical dynamics at rest. We find that cortical areas with more diffuse thalamic connections exhibit greater functional variability and reorganization of thalamocortical dynamics. Variation in thalamic connectivity patterns also aligns with distinct cortical cell-type profiles and an axis of cortical organization that links cortical functional variability to cognitive performance\, suggesting interactions between local microcircuit organization and long-range anatomical constraints to shape computational properties of the cortical sheet. Together\, these data reveal complex thalamocortical architectural constraints on cortical dynamics\, linking functional variability and underlying cellular mechanisms to interregional differences associated with cognitive function.: Understanding how flexible brain dynamics emerge from a relatively fixed anatomical architecture is a fundamental goal in neuroscience.

SUMMARY:Rutgers Network Neuroscience Interest Group: Caio Seguin\, PhD - University of Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:“Advances in network neuroscience: towards connectome-based predictions and mechanisms”\nSpeaker: Caio Seguin\, PhD\nResearch Fellow in Network Neuroscience\, Department of Psychiatry\, University of Melbourne \nDate and Time: Thursday\, April 23rd at 4:00 PM \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/my/lp756?pwd=Y3Q1NTNGTFJibHpYcUUwYUNaaFg5UT09 \nIn-Person: SRB seminar room \nAbstract: Network neuroscience and connectomics have made great advances in characterising the organisation of brain connectivity using the mathematics of graph theory. Despite this progress\, the question remains: are network and graph properties merely descriptive\, or do they bear on mechanisms of brain function and dysfunction? In this talk\, I will discuss the recent shift away from descriptions of brain connectivity\, and towards the use of network measures as tools for mechanism discovery and health outcomes prediction. I will focus on network models of brain signalling and communication\, presenting evidence that simples models provide insight into how connectome architecture shapes a diverse range trans-synaptic signalling processes—from the propagation of single-neuron optogenetic perturbations in C. elegans\, to the transmission of electrical pulses through the human connectome\, to the therapeutic effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression. Taken together\, these advances suggest general principles of how connectome wiring shapes neural signalling and open up opportunities for connectome-based interventions in psychiatry.

DESCRIPTION:“Modulating Macronutrient Sensing in AD Neuropathology in Mice”\nDate: Wednesday\, April 21\, 2026\, 3:00-4:30 PM \nIn-person Location: IFH Building\, 112 Paterson Street\, New Brunswick\, 1st Floor Conference Room \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/99162883827?pwd=u7KsGEj18opUBNPd1gskuV3uuiCRVn.1 \nMeeting ID: 991 6288 3827; Passcode: 978118 \nChung-Yang (Yang) Yeh\, Ph.D.\, is a postdoctoral fellow in the Lamming Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Yeh’s research focuses on understanding the intersection of metabolism\, nutrient signaling\, and aging. His ongoing work investigates the mechanisms and effects of lifespan-extending dietary interventions\, such as the restriction of dietary isoleucine\, in the context of aging and aging-related diseases. These studies highlight the important role of nutrient sensing in shaping distinct molecular and phenotypic signatures. Dr. Yeh’s future works will seek to understand the role of molecular nutrient sensors in the neuropathology of Alzheimer’s disease\, other neurodegenerative conditions\, and healthy brain aging in general.

At 1.00 PM EST \nLocation: Medical Science Bldg.\, Room B-610\, New Jersey Medical School\, 185 South Orange Ave\, Newark\, NJ 07101. \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/91320306423?pwd=Btm2x8QCooCohah6XJW7fqqoTlvvzM.1\nMeeting ID: 913 2030 6423\nPasscode: 041626 \nSpeaker: Xiongwei Zhu\, PhD\nProfessor of Pathology and Neurology\nClive R. Hamlin Ph.D. Designated Professorship in Pathology\nVice Chair of Graduate Education\nGraduate Program Director\,\nDepartment of Pathology\, Case Western Reserve University\, Cleveland\, Ohio 44106 \nMultiple lines of evidence suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Recent studies demonstrated that mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles characterized by a delicate balance of fission and fusion\, a concept that has revolutionized our basic understanding of the regulation of mitochondrial structure and function\, which has far-reaching significance in studies of health and disease. We found significant changes in the expression of mitochondrial fission and fusion proteins in AD brain. Both in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that mitochondrial dynamics was tipped towards fission and resulted in mitochondrial fragmentation and abnormal distribution in AD models\, which likely contributes to mitochondrial and synaptic dysfunction as well as neuroinflammation in AD. Genetic and pharmaceutical methods to rescue mitochondrial morphology and distribution could effectively restore Aβ-induced mitochondrial function and alleviate synaptic dysfunction both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together\, we propose that abnormal mitochondrial dynamics negatively impacts all aspects of mitochondrial function\, which causes synaptic dysfunction and neuronal dysfunction that is critical to AD pathogenesis. Therefore\, abnormal mitochondrial dynamics appear to be an attractive therapeutic intervention target for AD.

SUMMARY:Neuroscience Seminar Series for Rising Scholars: Loïc Labache\, PhD (Avram Holmes’s lab)
DESCRIPTION:“Multiscale Organization of Human Brain Lateralization: From Molecular Asymmetries to Cognitive Phenotypes”\nSpeaker: Loïc Labache\, PhD\nPostdoctoral Health AI Research Fellow\, Dr. Avram Holmes’s lab \nDate and Time: Monday\, April 13\, 2026\, 12:00 PM \nIn-Person: Room 127\, Staged Research Building (SRB)\, Busch Campus \nJoin via Zoom: Please email the host\, Dr. Noelle Stiles (noelle.stiles@rutgers.edu)\, or check the CAHBIR Slack #General thread for the link \nAbstract: Hemispheric specialization is a fundamental feature of human brain organization\, yet its biological basis and variability remain unclear. Here\, I combine multimodal imaging and transcriptomic data to show that cortical lateralization is supported by gradients in neurochemical and cellular architecture that define left-lateralized language and right-lateralized attention networks. Using Human Connectome Project data\, I further identify distinct\, heritable phenotypes of attentional lateralization and introduce a “crowding” framework capturing how language and attention co-lateralize across individuals. Together\, these findings support a multiscale model in which hemispheric specialization reflects both biological constraints and flexible population-level organization.

DESCRIPTION:“Building Credibility in Neuroscience through Open Science”\nBHI-CAHBIR will host a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Russell Poldrack\, Albert Ray Lang Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. \nDate and Time: March 25\, 12 – 1 PM \nIn-person location: V10 RWJMS Research Tower 675 Hoes Lane West\, Room V10\, Piscataway\, NJ \nZoom:\nhttps://rutgers.zoom.us/j/97622625390?pwd=UjXHA4JpGdnPIelWc8UbPlIabdhGAR.1\nMeeting ID: 976 2262 5390\nPasscode: 12345 \nAbstract: It is now widely accepted that openness and transparency are keys to improving the reproducibility of scientific research\, but many challenges remain to adoption of these practices. I will discuss the growth of an ecosystem for open science within the field of cognitive neuroscience\, focusing on platforms for open data sharing and open source tools for reproducible data analysis. I will also discuss the role of the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS)\, a community standard for data organization across multiple types of neuroscience data\, in enabling this open science ecosystem\, and will outline the scientific impacts of these resources.
