SUMMARY:CCNP Seminar: Christopher Rozell\, PhD (Georgia Institute of Technology)
DESCRIPTION:“Brain Biomarkers for Understanding Depression Recovery with Deep Brain Stimulation”\nSpeaker: Christopher Rozell\nProfessor\, Executive Director of Institute for Neuroscience\, Neurotechnology & Society (INNS)\nDepartment of Electrical & Computer Engineering\nGeorgia Institute of Technology \nSimultaneous advances in neurotechnology and data science have created new opportunities to measure\, modulate and understand the neural activity underlying complex psychiatric disorders such as treatment resistant depression (TRD). Despite promising explorations of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a therapy for TRD\, one of the barriers to scaling this treatment is the lack of objective information supporting clinical decision making during recovery. I will describe our recent efforts collecting and analyzing longitudinal intracranial electrophysiology data from TRD patients undergoing subcallosal cingulate cortex (SCC) DBS\, as well as our development of novel AI techniques to identify electrophysiology biomarkers of disease recovery state. Finally\, I will show how this data-driven biomarker can potentially be used in clinical decision support through patient case studies\, as well as shed light on the microcircuit structures and complex behaviors that underly TRD pathology and recovery. \nDate and Time: Wednesday\, June 3rd\, 10-11am EDT (Eastern)\nZoom: https://princeton.zoom.us/j/6397147065 \nFYI\, abstracts for previous talks are posted on the CCNP website: ccnp.princeton.edu. A list of upcoming seminars\, job announcements\, and other info about CCNP are available there as well.

SUMMARY:Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia Translational Work-in-Progress (ADRD-TWIP): Alice Butera\, MS (Christoph Buettner Lab)
DESCRIPTION:“Role of Adipose Tissue Lipolysis in Alzheimer’s Progression”\nSpeaker: Alice Butera\, MS\nPhD Student\, Christoph Buettner Lab\nRWJMS Department of Medicine\, Division of Endocrinology \nDate and Time: Wed\, June 3\, 2026\, 12-1 PM \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/94769804345?pwd=IMqJIIvuDmRl997R6O4U4NKbt6UWfs.1\nMeeting code: 947 6980 4345\nPasscode: 454288 \nAlice studies the role of peripheral metabolic dysregulation in modulating neuroinflammation in normal physiology\, Alzheimer’s disease\, and traumatic brain injury. She will present preliminary findings suggesting that adipose tissue lipolysis contributes to neuroinflammation and hyperactivity in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (5xFAD). She would appreciate any feedback on future research aims\, focusing on improving clinical significance and methodology. \nThis is not a formal talk\, and thus discussion and critiques are much appreciated.

SUMMARY:CCNP Seminar: Alex Shackman\, PhD (University of Maryland)
DESCRIPTION:“The Nature and the Neurobiology of Anxiety”\nSpeaker: Alexander Shackman\, PhD\nProfessor\, Department of Psychology\, University of Maryland \nDate and Time: Wednesday\, June 17\, 2026\, 10-11 AM \nZoom: https://princeton.zoom.us/j/6397147065 \nAbstract: Anxiety—widely conceptualized as a sustained state of heightened distress and arousal triggered by uncertain threat—is a fundamental aspect of mammalian experience and a key component of the National Institute of Mental Health’s influential RDoC framework. When extreme or pervasive\, anxiety imposes a staggering burden on patients\, public health\, and the global economy. Existing treatments are far from curative for many\, underscoring the urgency of developing a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Here\, I will highlight data gleaned from studies of humans and monkeys. Using a combination of approaches—from genetic assays and loss-of-function experiments to ecological momentary assessment and computational neuroimaging—this work provides fresh insights into the nature and the neurobiology of anxiety-related states\, traits\, and psychiatric disorders.

Conference room 301 \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/99664824542?pwd=vEgwJDNPtrJDbWa8juP6xCqT72Ju7Q.1 \nMeeting ID: 996 6482 4542  |  Passcode: 627484 \nBio sketch: \nDr. Corey Bolton is a clinical neuropsychologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine in the division of Geriatric Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center\, a collaborator with the Vanderbilt Memory and Aging Project\, and an investigator in the Vanderbilt Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. Dr. Bolton earned a doctorate in clinical psychology with a concentration in neuropsychology from Wheaton College in suburban Chicago. Prior to joining Vanderbilt as faculty\, he completed a doctoral internship in clinical neuropsychology at Rush University Medical Center and the Rush ADRC and a postdoctoral fellowship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center Department of Neurology. Dr. Bolton’s research focuses on the use of novel methods for early identification of Alzheimer’s disease\, with a particular focus on blood-based biomarkers. He has received numerous grants from the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer’s Association to better understand the ability of blood-based biomarkers to predict meaningful clinical changes in older adults\, and to understand clinical\, ethical\, and social aspects of disclosing Alzheimer’s disease biomarker results to patients and their loved ones.

SUMMARY:Rutgers Network Neuroscience Interest Group: Maria Grazia Puxeddu\, PhD (Virginia Tech)
DESCRIPTION:“Linking network architecture to function and behavior across scales: from human brain dynamics to Drosophila circuits”\nSpeaker: Maria Grazia Puxeddu\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\, School of Neuroscience\nVirginia Tech \nDate and Time: Friday\, June 26\, at 1:00 PM \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/my/lp756?pwd=Y3Q1NTNGTFJibHpYcUUwYUNaaFg5UT09 \nIn-Person: SRB seminar room \nSummary: Network neuroscience has been highly successful in describing brain organization in terms of modules\, hubs\, and pathways. Its next challenge is explanatory: understanding how the described architecture underlies brain function\, behavior\, and disease. In this talk\, I will present two lines of work that address this challenge at different scales. The first uses multivariate information theory to define brain modules through patterns of higher order redundant and synergistic interactions. This framework reveals how the balance between within-module redundancy and between-module synergy reorganizes across the human lifespan and\, in ongoing work\, across the progression of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. The second turns to the Drosophila brain\, where circuit architecture\, neural activity\, and behavior can all be measured directly. I will describe ongoing work characterizing the network role of distinct thermosensory neurons and how it can be used to predict neural function and behavior. Together\, these projects suggest that network architecture\, more than the conventional classification of brain regions and neurons into systems and cell types\, provides a fundamental substrate for understanding brain function\, behavior\, and their disruption in disease.

SUMMARY:KKARC Chalk Talk: Itzhak Norman\, PhD (UC San Francisco)
DESCRIPTION:Chalk Talk Title: “Mechanisms of Neural Coordination in Speech and Memory” \nDate and time: Tuesday\, June 30\, 2026\, 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Itzhak Norman\, PhD\nPostdoctoral Fellow in Neuroscience\, University of California\, San Francisco \nHYBRID \nLocation: IFH\, 3rd Fl. Conference Room\, 112 Paterson Street\, New Brunswick\, NJ \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/91030457395?pwd=jVizcdTrMCaoxJ04Guk6glXjXykclz.1 \nBio sketch: \nItzik holds a Ph.D. in Neurobiology from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel\, where he trained under Prof. Rafael Malach. His doctoral research combined intracranial recordings from neurosurgical patients with non-invasive techniques such as 7T fMRI to investigate the cortical-hippocampal interplay underlying human memory functions.\nFor his postdoctoral training\, Itzik joined UC San Francisco to work with Prof. Edward Chang and Prof. Loren Frank on the neural mechanisms of speech production. His research uncovered a key role for theta oscillations in coordinating articulatory movements during fluent speech and revealed a dynamic interplay between the speech cortex and hippocampus that supports verbal memory formation.
