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\nJoin the speaker for coffee
 \, cookies\, and conversation before the talk\, starting at 11:45am.\n\n \
 n\nPeripheral and central regulations of body fluid balance\n\nMaintaining
  water-salt balance is crucial for all animal species\, and the brain is r
 esponsible for achieving this function through constant monitoring of the 
 body fluid status and inducing appropriate ingestive behaviors. However\, 
 the central mechanisms for sensing internal fluid balance remain poorly un
 derstood. Recently\, we demonstrated\, through transcriptomic and genetic 
 methods\, that fore- and hindbrain interoceptive circuits are involved in 
 detecting water and salt deficits and has causal roles in water/salt appet
 ites. These findings provide a unique opportunity to investigate internal-
 state-sensing with cell-type-specific resolution. In this talk\, I will sh
 ow the combinatorial neural coding of distinct fluid need states. I will a
 lso discuss how individual neuron types mediate the behavioral responses t
 oward water and salt.\n\n \n\nYuki Oka\, Ph.D.\n\nCalifornia Institute of 
 Technology\n\n(Visit lab website)\n\nDr. Yuki Oka completed his graduate a
 nd postdoctoral studies at University of Tokyo and\, UCSD and Columbia Uni
 versity by studying peripheral sensory systems. Dr. Oka is now a Professor
  at California Institute of Technology since 2015\, where he is researchin
 g how individual neural populations interact by focusing on body fluid reg
 ulation. He aims to understand how internal need signals (thirst or sodium
  craving) are translated into behavioral outputs (drinking or salt intake)
  by interrogating the molecular and functional organization of neural circ
 uits.\n\nHosted by - Xiaoke Chen\, Ph.D. (Xiaoke Chen Lab)\n\n \n\nAbout t
 he Wu Tsai Neuro Seminar Series\n\nThe Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute sem
 inar series brings together the Stanford neuroscience community to discuss
  cutting-edge\, cross-disciplinary brain research\, from biochemistry to b
 ehavior and beyond.\n\nTopics include new discoveries in fundamental neuro
 biology\; advances in human and translational neuroscience\; insights from
  computational and theoretical neuroscience\; and the development of novel
  research technologies and neuro-engineering breakthroughs.\n\nUnless othe
 rwise noted\, seminars are held Thursdays at 12:00 noon PT.\n\nSign up to 
 learn about all our upcoming events
