This region is one of the first to be affected in Alzheimer’s disease, thus contributing to the disorientation seen in manifestations of the disease. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of reward-based motivation on the directional properties of hippocampal place cells by providing small rewards at one end of a linear-track spatial navigation task, and relatively large rewards on the other end. However, because it is extremely difficult to elucidate the contributions of different cues, an immersive virtual reality (VR) system previously developed in the laboratory was used in this study, allowing us to manipulate the contributions of different inputs more precisely than is possible in real-world environments.TEAM PROJECT: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236615078_Multisensory_Control_of_Hippocampal_Spatiotemporal_Selectivity

PROJECTSInvestigating the Role of Sprouty Proteins in Axon Pathfinding.Investigating the Role of Numb and Numblike in Motor Neuron Development https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(12)00232-2AbstractNumb (N) and its closely related homolog, Numblike (NL) are adaptor proteins shown to play a role in regulating cell functions involved in neural development. My studies have indicated that N/NL are expressed by all motor neurons (MNs) in the embryonic mouse spinal cord (SC). Conditional double knockout (cKO) mice with N/ NL missing in MNs display irregular ventral SC morphology and aberrant MN nucleic migration through the ventral horn. To determine how N/NL interact with cell machinery to keep MN soma in place within the SC, we investigated four possible causes of this aberrant MN nucleic migration: 1) the mutant SC morphology causes the basal lamina to be disrupted 2) the mutant SC morphology causes boundary cap cells (BCCs), which keep MN nuclei in the SC, to be mispositioned 3) loss of N/NL in MNs disrupts the signaling between BCCs and MNs 4) N/NL directly prevent nucleokinesis by interacting with components of the cytoskeletal machinery. This research is significant because MNs require sensory innervation from the brain and other neurons in the SC in order to function properly, making the location of the cell body critical.
