SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Mechanisms that underlie experience-dependent assembly of neural circuits
DESCRIPTION:Candidate for PhD in Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\n\nAbstract:\nI aim to understand the interaction between the environment and the developing brain through investigating how sensory experience shapes behavior. Sensory experience modifies neural connections through activity-dependent plasticity\, enabling animals to cope with environmental variability. Classic work\, particularly those in vertebrate visual systems\, has provided important insights into the mechanisms that underlie experience-dependent plasticity of the developing circuit. However\, there are significant gaps explaining the mechanism by which sensory experience shapes circuit function during development. Particularly\, how experience-dependent changes in synaptic transmission during development affect behavior in the mature animal are poorly understood. This dissertation examines how noxious sensory experience during development changes synaptic transmission in the nociceptive circuit to shape behavior in Drosophila melanogaster. Drosophila provides a relatively simple and genetically amenable model for analyzing both neural development and mechanisms underlying behaviors\, and is thus a powerful model for discovering basic principles underlying experience-dependent plasticity during development. One well-characterized set of Drosophila sensory neurons is the nociceptors. The nociceptors respond to noxious environmental cues such as intense radiation\, chemical or mechanical stimuli. The cell bodies and dendrites of these neurons lie just underneath the larval cuticle\, and their dendrites receive sensory inputs from the environment. Their axons\, in turn\, project to the central nervous system to provide inputs to the nociceptive circuits\, which eventually leads to appropriate motor responses. In larvae\, activation of the nociceptors elicits a robust behavioral response. To address how noxious stimuli alters the nociceptive circuit\, I have established a calcium live-imaging technique to physiologically measure neural dynamics within larval brains and have developed a behavioral assay to probe motor output. Through the use of these experimental techniques\, I have determined that excessive noxious experience during a sensitive period in development modifies nociceptive behavior through an intrinsic program of circuit development. These findings suggest that the development of the larval nociceptive circuit is shaped by sensory inputs and neural activity. Moreover\, my collaborative work demonstrates that the developmental plasticity is es¬tablished through serotonergic inhibition which specifically modifies synapses in the nociceptive\, but not mechanosensory\, pathway. We further show that excessive stimulation of nociceptors activates serotonergic neurons to sensitize the presynaptic terminals of nociceptors to serotoninergic inhibition after development is completed\, leading to abated nociceptive behavior. This is the first demonstration\, to our knowledge\, that noxious sensory experience shapes the development of Drosophila\, and reveals a neural mechanism involved in offsetting harmful environmental stimuli.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Abstraction: A Graphic Study
DESCRIPTION:Chicago-based artist Natasha Kohli uses abstract acrylic paintings to convey her messages of positivity and love by pouring that energy into each piece. As a self-taught artist\, Kohli is not bound to school taught rules but rather follows instinct and spontaneity. This also allows her to freely create her own processes. Moments of introspection and feelings of acceptance are what Kohli wishes to offer viewers of her work\, and these goals are inspired by her deep love of spirituality and Bikram yoga.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Concrete Ephemera: Street Art Captured
DESCRIPTION:David Zinn has been drawing on sidewalks for well over a decade\, using chalk and charcoal to create anamorphic 3D creatures which\, when viewed at a precise angle\, appear to exist in the real world. They often incorporate parts of the landscape and found objects\, such as cracks in concrete or leaves on the ground. He is inspired by a desire to place cheerful art underfoot in unexpected places and to embrace the temporary nature of all things. For this exhibit\, photographs of his street art installations will be on display. Zinn is a lifelong Michigander with a degree in creative writing from the U-M Residential College\, and he worked for many years as a children’s radio host on WCBN and Michigan Radio. Zinn will also give an artist demonstration alongside a musical performance by Magdalen Fossum in the University Hospital Courtyard on Thurs\, July 21\, 2016 from 12:00-1:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Landscapes Imagined: Oil on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Veedell creates atmospheric landscape paintings in oil on canvas\, capturing the fleeting moments of light in nature. The root of her work is an emotional reaction to the environment\, implying landscapes not necessarily seen but felt. Veedell lives and works in San Francisco\, and she is inspired by her global travels to places as far away as India and as near as Napa Valley\, California. Travel is an important component of her work as it allows her to observe and compare gradients of color\, light and atmosphere in different geographic locations.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Portals: Fiber Art Quilts
DESCRIPTION:Creative Seasons is a small yet vibrant group of non-traditional quilters from Southeast Michigan that meets monthly. The group’s purpose is to share knowledge\, techniques and work collaboratively on projects and exhibits as decided by the group. The definition of a portal is a door\, means of entrance\, gateway\, approach or architectural composition surrounding an opening. The group chose to interpret this theme with a broad variety of art quilts incorporating hand-dyed and painted fabrics as well as a variety of surface embellishments.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Seriously Playful Jewelry: Mixed Media
DESCRIPTION:Rural Pennsylvania artists Lisa & Scott Cylinder have been husband and wife collaborators in Chickenscratch Art Jewelry since 1988\, having met at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania. Working together they have developed a wonderful exchange and interplay of ideas\, concepts and techniques\, involving meticulous fabrication with many different materials and processes. Their influences are varied and vast: modern art\, scientific phenomena\, 20th century artifacts\, nature and film play upon their ideas and how they manifest them into jewelry objects. Lisa & Scott Cylinder work to create art that stimulates conversation and curiosity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Whimsical World of Bechler Pottery
DESCRIPTION:The mixed media work of Stacey and Corey Bechler is whimsical\, colorful and fun. They use popular icons such as fish\, birds\, dogs and landscapes as their subjects\, and they make them look whimsical with elaborate colors\, shapes and textures. They work to create a powerful visual contrast within each piece. Using clay and glaze as a base for each of their pieces\, they often add touches of copper\, assorted wires and driftwood found near their beach home.  They live on the shore of Lake Michigan inside Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.
