SUMMARY:Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia Translational Work-in-Progress (ADRD-TWIP): Seungjoon Kim\, PhD (Sangmi Chung Lab)
DESCRIPTION:“Targeting Network Hyperexcitability in Alzheimer’s Disease via Human iPSC-Derived MGE Cell Transplantation: A K99/R00 Grant Application”\nSpeaker: Seungjoon Kim\, PhD\nPostdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Neurosurgery at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School\, working in the laboratory of Dr. Sangmi Chung \nDate and Time: Wed\, July 1\, 2026\, 12-1 PM \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/94769804345?pwd=IMqJIIvuDmRl997R6O4U4NKbt6UWfs.1\nMeeting code: 947 6980 4345\nPasscode: 454288 \nThis presentation will focus on a K99/R00 grant application proposing a circuit-repair strategy for Alzheimer’s disease. The project tests whether human iPSC-derived MGE-lineage interneuron grafts can restore hippocampal inhibitory balance\, normalize early network hyperexcitability\, and reduce subsequent tau propagation. This is intended as a work-in-progress discussion\, and feedback on the grant structure\, Specific Aims\, experimental approach\, and reviewer-response strategy would be greatly appreciated.

SUMMARY:Medical and Graduate Student Shared Symposium
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to invite you to the inaugural Medical and Graduate Student Shared Symposium\, taking place this summer on Friday\, July 17th from 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM in the East Lecture Hall\, Busch Campus.\n\nThis first-of-its-kind event brings together students and faculty across fields to bridge basic science\, clinical medicine\, and public health in one shared space. The day will feature:\n\n\n\nFaculty talks spanning the medical and graduate schools\n\n\nStudent poster presentations and flash talks\n\n\nA “Poolside” Chat: a candid panel featuring clinical\, research\, and public health voices on topics including public perceptions of medicine and science\n\n\n\nWe hope this symposium becomes a meaningful tradition that fosters the kind of cross-disciplinary conversation that doesn’t happen often enough.\n\nFor students: We encourage you to submit an abstract for a poster or flash talk by July 1st. All are welcome\, regardless of where you are in your training.\nFor faculty: We warmly invite you to attend and engage with the breadth of work students are doing across departments.\n\nDetails about the event:\nDate: Friday\, July 17th\, 2026\nTime: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nLocation: East Lecture Hall\, 675 Hoes Lane West\, Piscataway (Busch Campus)\n\nRegister and submit abstract here: https://forms.gle/RowScMfbEcg4jKAM7\n\nSponsored by the Rutgers School of Graduate Studies\, Rutgers–Robert Wood Johnson Medical School\, and NJ ACTS.

SUMMARY:Rutgers Network Neuroscience Interest Group: Christopher Lynn\, PhD (Yale University)
DESCRIPTION:“Quantifying the compressibility of the human brain”\nSpeaker: Christopher Lynn\, PhD\nAssistant Professor of Physics\, Wu Tsai Institute\, Yale University \nDate and Time: Friday\, July 31 at 1:00 PM \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/7497180605?pwd=ZHEEETfi2aCY8bfOPKAo27P0PBKlHZ.1 \nIn-Person: SRB seminar room \nSummary: In the human brain\, the allowed patterns of activity are constrained by the correlations between brain regions. Yet it remains unclear which correlations—and how many—are needed to predict large-scale neural activity. Here\, we present an information-theoretic framework to identify the most important correlations\, which provide the most accurate predictions of neural states. Applying our framework to cortical activity in humans\, we find that the vast majority of variance in activity is explained by a small number of correlations. This means that the brain is highly compressible: Only a sparse network of correlations is needed to predict large-scale activity. We find that this compressibility is strikingly consistent across different individuals and cognitive tasks and that\, counterintuitively\, the most important correlations are not necessarily the strongest. Together\, these results suggest that nearly all correlations are not needed to predict neural activity\, and we provide the tools to uncover the key correlations that are.
