IGB Pioneers Seminar Polina Lishko, PhD University of California, Berkeley; Associate Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology "Unexpected role of steroid hormones in reproduction, aging, and bioelectricity"
Achieving axon regeneration and restoring function after CNS injuries is one of the major challenges of contemporary neuroscience. I will discuss our new results about how to promote axon regeneration and enhance the function of regenerated axons in adult CNS.

Oxytocin is often considered to be a peptide that is important for behaviors related to social approach such as pair bonding or stress buffering. However, sometimes oxytocin can increase anxiety. Our work shows that these diverse effects are mediated by distinct but overlapping neural circuits.

There is growing evidence that puberty is another organizational period with long lasting effects on brain and behavior. This talk will provide an overview of human structural MRI studies on sex differences in normative brain development across adolescence. Evidence for a specific link between pubertal maturation and developmental changes will be discussed.

How can nervous systems be both strikingly flexible and remarkably robust, and how do these phenomena simultaneously give rise to widespread similarity and incredible diversity in animal behavior? We are using charismatic poison frogs as model system to ask these questions.

Cognitive mapping allows us to build internal representations of the world, and is critical to episodic memory and visualization. I explore the potential evolutionary origins of cognitive mapping, to show how the circuitry for basic foraging decision can be straightforwardly expanded for affective valuation and cognitive map construction in the foraging simulation, ASIMOV.

We're going to look at a set of cross-species parallel tasks where we will ask whether mice, rats, and humans are sensitive to sunk costs (spoiler alert: they are) and what they do to avoid them.
