As part of the Neuro Film series, the Neuro invites you to a matinee performance of "The Princess Bride" on Sunday, January 9, 2011. This sincerely whimsical send-up of classic fairy tales follows Buttercup and Wesley as they battle pirates, sea monsters and an evil prince. Along the way they're joined by a flamboyant Spaniard, his slow-witted giant friend and a burned-out wizard named Miracle Max (a hilarious performance by Billy Crystal). As Peter Falk says in the opening sequences, "fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles"; this film has it all. A fondly remembered film of many a childhood, The Princess Bride is a veritable movie monument to the enduring charms of children's fantasy literature. (appropriate and enjoyable for both children and adults) The film will be shown in the Jeanne Timmins amphitheatre (3801 University Street) at 1:00 pm. The film is free and open to everyone. Snacks will be available for purchase. See you there!

Richard has made a number of important contributions towards understanding mechanisms of neuronal death and apoptosis. In particular, he has focused on the role of Bcl-2 family of proteins and mitochondria in this process. Most recently, he has deciphered how two Parkinson's disease genes, Parkin and PINK1, regulate mitochondrial quality control via autophagy. The works has been paradigm-shifting for those working on PD genes. Richard is an engaging speaker.

Importance: High Friday 21st January, 2011, at 3:30pm, in MCMED 504. In line with Dalbir Bindra's scientific contributions to the field of motivation and goal directed behaviour, our speaker this year is Prof. Peter Holland who has made signficant contributions to our understanding of the neural systems of learning, motivation and attention. As usual, there will be an informal morning seminar (10:30am-12:00pm, Room N7/14) in addition to the main afternoon lecture (3:30pm-5:00pm, MCMED 504). The abstracts for the talks are below (see also: http://www.psych.mcgill.ca/misc/hebb/bindra.html) Morning seminar Representation of outcome expectancies in amygdala and sensory cortex. As a result of associative learning, Pavlovian conditioned stimuli often activate representations of the unconditioned stimuli (USs) with which they were paired. These associatively-activated representations can serve many of the functions of the USs themselves, including the control of performance and the acquisition of new learning. Considerable evidence shows that such representations may include detailed sensory information about USs. Lesion studies indicate that a number of brain regions, including basolateral amygdala , medial prefrontal cortex, and orbitofrontal cortex are critical to the formation and use of such representations. We used a combination of lesion and multiple immediate-early gene expression procedures to examine neural representation of outcome expectancies in gustatory and orbitofrontal cortex, ventral striatum, and amygdala, after Pavlovian learning about flavored USs. Our first set of studies indicated that Pavlovian cues alone can instigate brain events correlated with aspects of sensory and hedonic processing of their associated USs. Subsequent studies indicated that sucrose-paired odors and sucrose itself activated similar neuronal ensembles in gustatory cortex, whereas odors paired with sucrose or maltodextrin activated relatively separate ensembles. The results of lesion studies indicated that cues' access to selective outcome representations in the gustatory cortex does not depend on amygdala input, whereas cortical input is critical to the formation of such representations in the amygdala, which in turn are critical for the guidance of behavior according to the emotional significance of expected outcomes. Afternoon Lecture Modulation of appetitive and consummatory behavior by food-related cues Associative learning processes play many important roles in the control of food consumption. Although these processes can complement regulatory mechanisms in the control of eating by providing opportunities for the anticipation of upcoming needs, they may also contribute to inappropriate or pathological consumption patterns by overriding internal regulatory signals. In this seminar, I will first describe a neural systems analysis in a simple animal model of the control of feeding by Pavlovian conditioned stimuli (CSs). Food-sated rats increase their food consumption after presentation of CSs that were previously paired with food while the rats were food-deprived. This cue-potentiated feeding is independent of conditioned approach responses, and is often highly specific to the foods associated with those CSs. A series of studies that used neuroanatomical tract tracing, immediate early gene expression, and neurotoxic disconnection lesion techniques implicated circuitry that includes the basolateral amygdala, the lateral hypothalamus, and the medial prefrontal cortex in these examples of cue-modulated feeding. These studies also showed dissociations between the ability of learned cues to modulate feeding and other phenomena often attributed to learned motivational processes, including cues' abilities to modulate instrumental food procurement behaviors, to serve as conditioned reinforcers, and to support cue-directed responding such as orienting and autoshaping. The data suggest that the modulation of food consumption by CSs is uniquely mediated by cortical and amygdalar neurons that directly target the lateral hypothalamus, and thus gain access to hypothalamic neuropeptide and other systems involved in the promotion and suppression of eating.

Communications Centre (MNI), is Dr. Pascal Dournaud from from the French Institut National de la Sant? et de la Recherche M?dical, INSERM, Unit 676. The title of his talk is: "Trafficking of the somatostatin receptor type 2 in central neurons: Molecular mechanisms and pathological consequences in epilepsy". Pascal is an MNI alumnus who did his postdoctoral training with Dr. Alain Beaudet. After his return to France he joined INSERM and started his own laboratory. The Dournaud laboratory focuses on elucidating the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying somatostatin receptor trafficking in central neurons in vivo. In recent years, they have demonstrated the functional significance of receptor trafficking events in dentate gyrus neurons in determining their vulnerability to epileptic seizures and are currently shifting their focus to the role of receptor trafficking in neuronal migration and differentiation. Pascal is sure to present an exciting and thought-provoking seminar. I am looking forward to seeing you all there at the talk. Thomas Stroh, Ph.D. Naomi M. Takeda Administrative Coordinator for: Drs.
