WCBR Program 00 Welcome to the Thirty-Third Annual Winter Conference on Brain Research The Winter Conference on Brain Research (WCBR) was founded in 1968 to promote free exchange of information and ideas within neuroscience. It was the intent of the founders that both formal and informal interactions would occur between clinical and laboratory based neuroscientists. During the past thirty years neuroscience has grown and expanded to include many new fields and methodologies. This diversity is also reflected by WCBR participants and in our program. A primary goal of the WCBR is to enable participants to learn about the current status of areas of neuroscience other than their own. Another objective is to provide a vehicle for scientists with common interests to discuss current issues in an informal setting. The program includes panels (reviews for an audience not necessarily familiar with the area presented), workshops (informal discussions of current issues and data), a minicourse, and posters. The annual conference lecture will be presented at the breakfast on Sunday, January 23. Our guest speaker will be Dr. Carla Shatz. On Tuesday, January 25, a town meeting will be held for the Breckenridge commu- nity. Finally, the banquet, including a special program, music, and dancing, will be held on Friday evening. The continued generous donations from sponsors have permitted us to continue the WCBR Fellowship Award Program. These awards are given to young neuroscientists who are on the program and who are newcomers to WCBR. Congratulations and a warm welcome to this year s fellows: Kristin Anstrom, Michael Costigan, Sylvain Dore, Douglas J. Epstein, Sarah Gibbs, Robert E. Gross, Kurt Haas, David Johns, Rolf Karlstrom, Robert Mihalek, Patricio O Donnell, Amir Rezvani, Lisa Schrott, David Self, Benjamin R. Walker, Val J. Watts, David Wells, Austin Yang, Konrad Zinsmaier. Please plan to attend the business meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 26. We will elect a new Conference Chair Elect, Program Chair Elect, and three members of the Board of Directors. Other important matters will be discussed including the selection of future conference sites. 1 2 Conference Chair Irwin Levitan Allan Basbaum, Chair Elect Program Committee Paul Letourneau, Chair Elizabeth Abercrombie Christine Konradi Allan Basbaum Paul Letourneau Jill Becker Michael Levine Marc Binder Joseph Lipinski Marie-Francoise Cheselet David Perkel Joseph Coyle Bruce Ramson Thomas Dunwiddie Suzanne Roffler-Tarlov Neil Harrison Oswald Steward Karl Herrup James Surmeier Paul Katz George Wilcox Treasurer Elizabeth Abercrombie Facilities Committee Karen Greif, Chair Monte Westerfield, Chair Elect Murray Blackmore Stas Kholmanskikh Gianluca Gallo Sujatha Narayan Scott Gehler Board of Directors Elizabeth Abercrombie Joel Kleinman Marjorie Ariano Paul Letourneau Allan Basbaum Michael Levine Martha Bohn Irwin Levitan William Bunney Marsha Melnick Karen Greif Eric Simon Bart Hoebel James Surmeier Thomas Hyde Monte Westerfield Harvey Karten Don Woodward Kristen Keefe Michael Zigmond 3 Fellowship Program Donald Stein, Chair James Surmeier, Chair Elect Raymond Bartus Gene Palmer Exhibits Michael Levine School Outreach Victor Denenberg Chris Ransom Paul Dore-Duffy Suzanne Roffler-Tarlov Helene Emsellem Kent Schellenberger Karen Greif Harald Sontheimer A.

  • Late Calcium EDTA Rescues Hippocampal CA1 Neurons from Global Ischemia-Induced Death
    The Journal of Neuroscience, November 3, 2004 • 24(44):9903–9913 • 9903 Neurobiology of Disease Late Calcium EDTA Rescues Hippocampal CA1 Neurons from Global Ischemia-Induced Death Agata Calderone, Teresa Jover,* Toshihiro Mashiko,* Kyung-min Noh, Hidenobu Tanaka,† Michael V. L. Bennett, and R. Suzanne Zukin Department of Neuroscience, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York 10461 Transient global ischemia induces a delayed rise in intracellular Zn 2ϩ, which may be mediated via glutamate receptor 2 (GluR2)-lacking AMPA receptors (AMPARs), and selective, delayed death of hippocampal CA1 neurons. The molecular mechanisms underlying Zn 2ϩ toxicity in vivo are not well delineated. Here we show the striking finding that intraventricular injection of the high-affinity Zn 2ϩ chelator calcium EDTA (CaEDTA) at 30 min before ischemia (early CaEDTA) or at 48–60 hr (late CaEDTA), but not 3–6 hr, after ischemia, afforded robust protection of CA1 neurons in ϳ50% (late CaEDTA) to 75% (early CaEDTA) of animals. We also show that Zn 2ϩ acts via temporally distinct mechanisms to promote neuronal death. Early CaEDTA attenuated ischemia-induced GluR2 mRNA and protein downregulation (and, by inference, formation of Zn 2ϩ-permeable AMPARs), the delayed rise in Zn 2ϩ, and neuronal death. These findings suggest that Zn 2ϩ acts at step(s) upstream from GluR2 gene downregulation and implicate Zn 2ϩ in transcriptional regulation and/or GluR2 mRNA stability. Early CaEDTA also blocked mitochondrial release of cytochrome c and Smac/DIABLO (second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases/direct inhibitor of apoptosis protein-binding protein with low pI), caspase-3 activity (but not procaspase-3 cleavage), p75 NTR induction, and DNA fragmentation.

  • Plasma from Human Mothers of Fetuses with Severe Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita Causes Deformities in Mice
    Plasma from human mothers of fetuses with severe arthrogryposis multiplex congenita causes deformities in mice Leslie Jacobson, … , Gillian Morriss-Kay, Angela Vincent J Clin Invest. 1999;103(7):1031-1038. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI5943. Article Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is characterized by fixed joint contractures and other deformities, sometimes resulting in fetal death. The cause is unknown in most cases, but some women with fetuses affected by severe AMC have serum antibodies that inhibit fetal acetylcholine receptor (AChR) function, and antibodies to fetal antigens might play a pathogenic role in other congenital disorders. To investigate this possibility, we have established a model by injecting pregnant mice with plasma from four anti-AChR antibody–positive women whose fetuses had severe AMC. We found that human antibodies can be transferred efficiently to the mouse fetus during the last few days of fetal life. Many of the fetuses of dams injected with AMC maternal plasmas or Ig were stillborn and showed fixed joints and other deformities. Moreover, similar changes were found in mice after injection of a serum from one anti-AChR antibody–negative mother who had had four AMC fetuses. Thus, we have confirmed the role of maternal antibodies in cases of AMC associated with maternal anti-AChR, and we have demonstrated the existence of pathogenic maternal factors in one other case. Importantly, this approach can be used to look at the effects of other maternal human antibodies on development of the fetus.

A primary goal of the WCBR is to enable participants to learn about the current status of areas of neuroscience other than their own. Another objective is to provide a vehicle for scientists with common interests to discuss current issues in an informal setting. On the other hand, WCBR is not designed for presentations limited to communicating the latest data to a small group of specialists; this is best done at national society meetings. The program includes panels (reviews for an audience not neces- sarily familiar with the area presented), workshops (informal discussions of current issues and data), and a number of posters. The annual conference lecture will be presented at the Sunday breakfast on Sunday, January 27. Our guest speaker will be Dr. Donald Kennedy, Editor-in-Chief of Science. On Tuesday, January 29, a town meeting will be held for the Aspen/Snowmass commu- nity at which Dr. George Ricaurte, and WCBR participants will discuss drug addiction and toxicity of addictive drugs. Also, participants in the WCBR Outreach Program will present sessions at local schools throughout the week to pique students’ interest in science.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.
