SUMMARY:Symposium Series on Emerging Model Organisms with Tessa Montague
DESCRIPTION:Talk title: The neural basis of cuttlefish camouflage and social behavior \n  \nSpeaker: Tessa G. Montague\, ph.D.; HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow\, Richard Axel Lab at Columbia University \n  \nAbstract: Cuttlefish are coleoid cephalopods that dynamically change the color\, pattern and texture of their skin to camouflage with their surroundings. Camouflage is achieved by expanding and contracting pigment-filled saccules in the skin called chromatophores\, through the action of motor neurons that project from the brain. Thus\, the patterning of the skin is a physical manifestation of neural activity in the brain. In addition to camouflage\, cuttlefish use their dynamic skin to communicate with conspecifics using a series of innate skin patterns that reveal the animal’s internal state. We are using the cuttlefish skin behaviors to understand how the physical properties of the visual world are represented by patterns of neural activity in the brain\, and how this representation is transformed into an approximation of the physical world on the skin. We have performed a series of experiments to develop the dwarf cuttlefish\, Ascarosepion bandense\, as a model to investigate the neural basis of camouflage and social communication. We have described the stages of embryonic development\, sequenced the genome and transcriptome\, completed a 3D brain atlas\, developed camouflage and social behavioral paradigms\, and examined dwarf cuttlefish behavior in the wild. Furthermore\, we are generating transgenic cuttlefish that express genetically-encoded calcium indicators and light-activated channels\, permitting the live imaging and manipulation of neural activity. These technologies should permit us to simultaneously record neural activity and measure behavior to uncover how visual information is deconstructed in the brain\, and then reconstructed into an image of the physical world on the skin.

SUMMARY:Lisa S. Gardiner at BioMed Realty
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store and BioMed Realty welcome Lisa S. Gardiner—science writer\, geoscientist\, educator\, and author of Tales from an Uncertain World: What Other Assorted Disasters Can Teach Us about Climate Change—for a discussion of her book Reefs of Time: What Fossils Reveal about Coral Survival. \nTicketing\nThere are two ticket options available for this event. \nFree General Admission Ticket: Includes admission for one. \nBook-Included Ticket: Includes admission for one and one hardcover copy of Reefs of Time. \nNote: Books bundled with tickets may only be picked up at the venue the night of the event\, and cannot be picked up in-store beforehand. Ticket holders who purchased a book-included ticket and are unable to attend the event will be able to pick up their book at Harvard Book Store up to 30 days following the event. This offer expires after 30 days. Please note we cannot guarantee signed copies will be available to ticket holders who do not attend the event. \nAbout Reefs of Time\nHow fossilized reefs hold clues to the survival of corals in the Anthropocene \nWith rising global temperatures\, pollution\, overfishing\, ocean acidification\, and other problems caused by humans\, there’s no question that today’s coral reefs are in trouble. As predictions about the future of these ecosystems grow increasingly dire\, scientists are looking in an unlikely place for new ways to save corals: the past. The reefs of yesteryear faced challenges too\, from changing sea level to temperature shifts\, and understanding how they survived and when they faltered can help guide our efforts to help ensure a future for reefs. \nLisa Gardiner weaves together the latest cutting-edge science with stories of her expeditions to tropical locales to show how fossils and other reef remains offer tantalizing glimpses of how corals persisted through time\, and how this knowledge can guide our efforts to ensure a future for these remarkable organisms. Gardiner takes readers on an excursion into “the shallow end of deep time”—when marine life was much like today’s yet unaffected by human influence—to explore the cities of fossilized limestone left behind by corals and other reef life millennia ago. The changes in reefs today are unlike anything ever seen before\, but the fossil record offers hope that the coral reefs of tomorrow can weather the environmental challenges that lie ahead. \nA breathtaking journey of scientific discovery\, Reefs of Time reveals how lessons from the past can help us to chart a path forward for coral reefs struggling for survival in an age of climate crisis and mass extinction. \n\nBio\nLisa S. Gardiner is a science writer\, geoscientist\, and educator. She is the author of Tales from an Uncertain World: What Other Assorted Disasters Can Teach Us about Climate Change. Her writing has appeared in leading publications such as the Atlantic\, Hakai Magazine\, and Scientific American. \nBioMed Realty Discover Here Author Series\nThe BioMed Realty Discover Here Author Series is an engaging collaboration between BioMed Realty and Harvard Book Store. The series features thought-provoking talks by authors of recently published books on a variety of topics\, including science\, mental wellness\, AI\, history\, and more.
