In this episode, hosts Joe, Lesley, and Jeremy bring you scientific highlights from the recent Sunposium23 conference. They sit down with three of the invited speakers to chat about their latest research. They discuss how the brain encodes memories in both a stable and flexible manner with Dr. Denise Cai, the complexity of brain-wide serotonin function with Dr. Ugur Dag, and how organoids and assembloids can help us understand human neurodevelopment with Dr. Sergiu Pasca.Episode GuestsDenise Cai @denisejcaiUgur Dag @SadumanAgaSergiu Pasca @Sergiu_P_PascaSunposium is a biennial neuroscience conference hosted by MPFI that brings together neuroscientists to discuss the latest insights and challenges of understanding neural circuit function.

77. Sunposium 2023 with Denise Cai, Ugur Dag, and Sergiu Pasca

Denise is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai whose interest in the brain ironically took hold as she was interviewing for law schools. When she realized she was more interested in how the brain makes decisions rather than the judicial implications of those decisions, she hopped on the Neuroscience train and never looked back. For her Ph.D. thesis at UCSD, she looked at the interplay between sleep, memory, and creativity in both humans and in a rodent model. Then as a postdoc at UCLA, Denise decided to take a closer look at the links formed between memories of events occurring close together in time, which carries tremendous clinical implications for understanding aging and memory-related disorders. This translational approach to studying memory, as well as her ongoing passion for collaboration with other scientists has carried over into her current work in her own lab. Denise’s enthusiasm for working as part of a team and passion for innovation--despite some of the challenges she has faced regarding gender bias--are on full display in her interview with Nancy.
