Subject: [AUDITORY] Nottingham Hearing Sciences Seminar: Robert Froemke TOMORROW From: Joseph Sollini <000001a2580f3fe3-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2023 13:32:15 +0000--_000_VI1PR06MB49289FA5893846BA1AC28526C5FC9VI1PR06MB4928eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all, This is just a reminder that tomorrow Prof. Robert Froemke (Skirball Founda= tion Professor of Genetics, Neuroscience Institute and Departments of Otola= ryngology and Neuroscience/Physiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine) w= ill be speaking on "Neuromodulation and plasticity for rodent communication= " at 2pm on the 12th of January (12/1/2023). Dr. Froemke is the Skirball Foundation Professor of Genetics in the Neurosc= ience Institute and Departments of Otolaryngology and Neuroscience/Physiolo= gy at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. The Froemke lab studies how sounds a= cquire meaning by relating synaptic plasticity to changes in behaviour, suc= h as the adaptations in the maternal brain to recognize infant cries or how= cochlear implant stimulation leads to auditory perception. A brief abstract for the talk can be found below: Neuroplasticity is important for learning the meaning of different sounds. = Here I will discuss neuroplasticity and behavioural adaptations in rodents,= first in new mother mice learning to care for pups, and then in deafened r= ats learning to use cochlear implants to hear again. I will discuss our pre= vious work and newer results on maternal responses to infant distress calls= , and how oxytocin enables rapid neurobehavioral changes for parents to rec= ognize the meaning of these calls. We have built a new system combining 24/= 7 continuous video monitoring with neural recordings from the auditory cort= ex and oxytocin neurons of the hypothalamus in vivo. With this documentary = approach, we have identified behaviours of experienced and na=EFve adults l= earning to co-parent together which also activate oxytocin neurons. I will = discuss circuits for processing infant distress cries in cortex, midbrain, = thalamus, and even in oxytocin neurons of the hypothalamus. Finally, I will= discuss our on-going work on studying the neural basis of cochlear implant= use, and the mechanisms of neuromodulation and plasticity required for dea= f rats to behaviourally respond to implant stimulation.
