DESCRIPTION:Join us at Gunn Rotunda in the Stanford Neurosciences Building 
 to learn about the latest cutting-edge\, cross-disciplinary brain research\
 , from biochemistry to behavior and beyond\n\n\nJoin the speaker for coffee
 \, cookies\, and conversation before the talk. starting at 11:45am.\n\n \n\
 nNeural Mechanisms of Social Homeostasis\n\nAbstract\n\nHow does our brain 
 rapidly determine if something is good or bad? How do we know our place wit
 hin a social group? How do we know how to behave appropriately in dynamic e
 nvironments with ever-changing conditions?\n\nThe Tye Lab is interested in 
 understanding how neural circuits important for driving positive and negati
 ve motivational valence (seeking pleasure or avoiding punishment) are anato
 mically\, genetically and functionally arranged. We study the neural mechan
 isms that underlie a wide range of behaviors ranging from learned to innate
 \, including social\, feeding\, reward-seeking and anxiety-related behavior
 s. We have also become interested in “social homeostasis”--how our brains e
 stablish a preferred set-point for social contact\, and how this maintains 
 stability within a social group. How are these circuits interconnected with
  one another\, and how are competing mechanisms orchestrated on neural popu
 lation level? We employ optogenetic\, electrophysiological\, electrochemica
 l\, pharmacological and imaging approaches to probe these circuits during b
 ehavior.\n\nThis seminar is co-presented by the Psychiatry Grand Rounds | D
 epartment of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences\n\n \n\nKay Tye\, Ph.D.\n\n
 Salk Institute for Biological Studies\n\nKay M. Tye earned her bachelors fr
 om MIT in 2003 majoring in Brain and Cognitive Sciences\, and her PhD for t
 hesis work with Patricia Janak at UCSF focusing on how the amygdala undergo
 es plasticity for reward learning\, for which she was recognized with the L
 indsley Prize and the Weintraub Award.  She did her postdoctoral training w
 ith Karl Deisseroth at Stanford where she pioneered the use of projection-s
 pecific optogenetic manipulations\, a mainstay of circuit neuroscience\, an
 d used this approach to dissect anxiety circuits in the amygdala. She start
 ed her own lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2012\,
  and was awarded the New Innovator Award to investigate the neural circuit 
 mechanisms of emotional valence.  In 2016\, Tye was the sole recipient of t
 he Society for Neuroscience’s Young Investigator Award.  In 2017\, she won 
 the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award to study social homeostasis\, a conceptual
  framework she formalized in 2019.  Tye moved her lab to the Salk Institute
  in 2019 and became Wylie Chair Professor of the Systems Neurobiology Labor
 atory\, and  became a Blavatnik Laureate and HHMI Investigator in 2021 and 
 continues to investigate the neural bases of emotional valence and social h
 omeostasis on the circuit\, systems\, and computational levels.\n\nImportan
 tly\, Tye is most passionate about improving the health of academic culture
  in terms of serving as a mentor\, as an advocate\, and as an activist. Tye
  has been recognized with mentoring awards at the undergraduate\, graduate\
 , and postdoctoral levels.  She has placed 13 former trainees into faculty 
 positions leading their own independent research programs within academia\,
  in addition to launching successful careers outside academia (5 of whom ar
 e women and 5 of whom are underrepresented minorities).  Tye is committed t
 o outreach and promoting diversity\, equity\, inclusion and accessibility b
 y creating and supporting outreach programs\, by being active with science 
 communication (TED Talk\, Scientific American\, Nova)\, and by making syste
 mic and infrastructural changes at the local and global levels. \n\n (Visit

 )\n\n \n\nAbout the Wu Tsai Neuro Seminar Series\n\nThe Wu Tsai Neuroscienc
 es Institute seminar series brings together the Stanford neuroscience commu
 nity to discuss cutting-edge\, cross-disciplinary brain research\, from bio
 chemistry to behavior and beyond.\n\nTopics include new discoveries in fund
 amental neurobiology\; advances in human and translational neuroscience\; i
 nsights from computational and theoretical neuroscience\; and the developme
 nt of novel research technologies and neuro-engineering breakthroughs.\n\nU
 nless otherwise noted\, seminars are held Thursdays at 12:00 noon PT.\n\nSi
