SUMMARY:RU-WINS Lecture: Dr. Yeka Aponte\, NIDA - "Hypothalamic cell types and circuits that drive survival behaviors"
DESCRIPTION:Rutgers University Women in Neuroscience (RUWINS) Lecture \nFriday\, March 3rd\, from 12-1pm \n“Hypothalamic cell types and circuits that drive survival behaviors”\nDr Yeka Aponte\, Senior Investigator at the National Institute on Drug Abuse\, The National Institutes of Health \nVia zoom (registration link here) – Dr Aponte will be presenting over zoom\nIn person: Keck Center Conference Room at Nelson Biology Labs\, Busch Campus\, Piscataway.  \nStudents/postdocs/techs – The talk will be followed by a lunch from 1-2pm (only for trainees) so that folks can get to know the speaker in a smaller group and learn from her at the Keck Center Conference room.  \n  \nThe Aponte lab studies the role of genetically-identified neurons and their projections in behaviors that are essential for survival. Their ultimate goal is to understand how neurons in distinct hypothalamic circuits encode pain and the rewarding and addictive nature of food intake. To answer these questions\, they use a combination of optogenetics\, chemogenetics\, electrophysiology\, two- and single-photon fluorescence endomicroscopy\, and behavioral assays to manipulate and measure the activity of these genetically-defined neuronal subpopulations in awake behaving mice. Recently\, they showed how two of the lateral hypothalamic neuronal populations identified by the expression of the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PVALB; LHPV) or leptin receptor (LHLEPR) modulate pain and appetitive behaviors\, respectively\, in mice. Their work revealed LHPV neurons as regulators of the LH glutamatergic circuitry orchestrating pain behaviors and identified LHLEPR neurons as modulators of a hypothalamic-ventral tegmental midbrain circuit involved in controlling motivation and appetitive behaviors. \nDownload Flyer – RUWINS March Seminar

SUMMARY:DOH Discussion: Crystal Meth Use in Marginalized Communities
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegistration: Click here\n  \n \n  \nCrystal meth use is a public health concern affecting multiple communities throughout New York State (NYS). For many years\, crystal meth has had a devastating impact within marginalized communities. The stigma\, shame\, and misinformation associated with crystal meth use serve as barriers for those that deserve accurate information\, supportive resources\, and treatment services. \nThe AIDS Institute (AI) has received many suggestions from the community to guide and inform response efforts to address crystal meth use in populations such as Black Men who have Sex with Men (MSM)\, rural communities\, and upstate regions. Additionally\, in Nov. 2021\, the AI held a community listening session to discuss stimulant drug use within the Black MSM community. \nBased on the information provided by community stakeholders\, education and awareness have been identified as two priority areas. In Feb. 2023\, the AI’s Office of Drug User Health (ODUH) launched a community wide initiative: Crystal Meth Use in Marginalized Communities: Discussion Series. \nObjective:\nThis discussion series will hold space for education and awareness through intentional discussions that reflect the impact crystal meth use has in communities that often experience societal and political marginalization\, such as Black MSM\, the Transgender and Gender Nonconforming (TGNC) community\, and groups with lower socio-economic status. Each discussion will feature subject matter experts\, individuals with lived experience\, service providers and community stakeholders as various themes\, such as stigma\, sexual health\, treatment\, miseducation\, and more\, are explored. \nThrough these discussions\, the AI will gain further insight into the impact of crystal meth use. The AI is committed to utilizing this information and the AI is committed to improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers who use drugs through the promotion of harm reduction practices\, and by providing accessible health care and supportive services. \nCrystal Meth Discussion flier

SUMMARY:CMBN Colloquium Series: New Approaches to the Neuroscience of Human Drug Addiction: Drug Bias\, Natural Language Processing and the Synchronized Brain
DESCRIPTION:Online | Zoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/98443527746?pwd=SDcyRE1PRlZ1VStWTi92Q1J5YWNadz09\nDrug addiction is a chronically relapsing disorder characterized by excessive drug use despite catastrophic personal consequences (e.g.\, loss of family\, job\, health) and even when the substance is no longer perceived as pleasurable. In a theoretical model called iRISA (Impaired Response Inhibition and Salience Attribution) we postulated that core impairments in addiction are the disproportionate value/salience attributed to the drug and drug cues at the expense of other reinforcers\, with a concomitant decrease in inhibitory control and self-regulation. This model assigns a primary role to the prefrontal cortex\, part of the dopaminergic mesocorticolimbic circuit\, in these higher-order executive deficits. In this talk\, I will present results of human neuroimaging studies where we utilized a multimodal approach (neuropsychology\, functional magnetic resonance imaging\, diffusion weighted imaging\, event-related potentials recordings) across drugs of abuse (cocaine\, heroin) to explore the neurobiology underlying these core behavioral\, cognitive\, emotional and motivational impairments in drug addiction (encompassing drug cue reactivity\, impulsivity) as associated with its clinical symptomatology (encompassing craving and drug seeking). Novel results shed light on brain recovery with abstinence and active treatment\, inclusive of cognitive enhancement with pharmacological (methylphenidate) and behavioral (cognitive reappraisal) tools\, as well as with mindfulness and direct brain stimulation (with transcranial devices). Natural language processing and naturalistic stimuli (i.e.\, movies: real-life\, dynamic\, complex and context-rich) are now also being explored in the lab for their use in unraveling ecologically valid brain-behavior biomarkers (and predictors) of both impairment and recovery in drug addiction. Together\, this talk will exemplify the use of neuroimaging to better understand human drug addiction and for the development of empirically-based effective neurorehabilitation strategies in this devastating disorder.

SUMMARY:GSAPP Webinar - Alcohol Moderation and Harm Reduction: A Clinician’s Toolbox for Office-Based Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:Live Webinar \nDate: Friday February 10\, 2023\nTime: 9am- 12:15pm ET \nInstructor: Arnold Washton\, PhD\nInstructional Level: Intermediate \nParticipants attending this skills-training workshop will come away with an extensive toolbox of evidence-based alcohol moderation and harm reduction strategies they can apply immediately in clinical practice. Research shows that most people who drink “too much” are not alcoholics and that many of these “problem drinkers” can learn to moderate their drinking within safer limits rather than quit drinking completely. An alternative to traditional abstinence-only approaches\, harm reduction supports individualized treatment goals including less risky/harmful drinking\, moderate drinking\, and abstinence. Any steps taken to reduce negative consequences associated with substance use are viewed as steps in the right direction\, whether or not abstinence is the immediate or ultimate goal. \nParticipants of this workshop will learn how to help clients take a closer look at their alcohol use\, set realistic goals\, change their drinking patterns\, and acquire a better understanding of the role and meaning of alcohol use in their lives. The presentation will include lecture material highlighted by numerous case examples. \n3 CE credits for Psychologists (APA)\n3 CE credits for New York Psychologists (NYSED)

SUMMARY:SSW Webinar - Addiction and Recovery 2022: Where We Have Been Where We Are Going
DESCRIPTION:Live Webinar\nTuesday\, January 17\n10am-1pm\, ET\n\n$60 | 3 CE hours\, Clinical\nKatherine Glick\, MEd\, LPC\, LCADC\, ACS\, CMH\n\n\nThis course examines how the field of addiction treatment and recovery has evolved since the development of 12-step recovery spaces in the 1950’s\, from societal conceptualizations about addiction to how treatment and evidence-based practices have shaped what we now call clinical addiction treatment. Particular attention will be paid to how paradigms\, stigma\, and oppressive systems have influenced and shaped addiction and treatment trends. Participants will critically examine the successes and pitfalls of addiction treatment as it stands today\, including specific models and systems of recovery and what the field calls “evidence-based practices”. Special attention will be paid to how the fields of neuroscience\, epigenetics\, and neuropharmacology have informed what we know today about addiction\, and what it means for integrative recovery strategies moving forward.\n\n*A link to register with Zoom to get your login information will be emailed the day before the webinar\, and again on the morning of the webinar. Please register at least one hour before the webinar starts\, so you have time to receive your login.

SUMMARY:Academy Health 15th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFor more information: Click here \nThrough a combination of plenaries\, workshops\, breakout\, and poster sessions\, the 15th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health\, co-hosted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and AcademyHealth\, supports the collective understanding of the research agenda\, puts forth new findings\, and identifies research priorities to set the field up for the next decade. \nThis year’s theme\, (Re)Building Better Systems: Being Proactive\, Nimble\, and Responsive\, will build upon lessons learned about rapidly changing community health and clinical settings to envisioning new models for conducting D&I science that respond to the shifting needs of diverse systems and populations\, and use flexible and rigorous methodologies to anticipate challenges and ongoing change. To make large-scale gains in health at a population level\, we must consider the integration of scientific discoveries within varied contexts and populations\, in the face of dynamic evidence\, competing demands\, and diverse stakeholder priorities.
