DESCRIPTION:Oscillations as an organizing principle for understanding infor
 mation processing in the rodent ventral striatum\n\nMatt van der Meer (Dar
 tmouth)\n	Tuesday January 29\, 12-1pm\n	Montreal Neurological Institute\, De
 Grandpre Communications Centre\n	\n	Abstract: The ventral striatum (vStr) is
  one of the most studied areas in the brain\, a central node in a network 
 of structures important for directing and energizing behavior\, and a key 
 player in the etiology of substance use disorders. All major inputs to the
  vStr\, such as the hippocampus and frontal cortex\, display striking temp
 oral organization in the form of oscillations in neural activity\, which h
 ave provided many important insights into the function of these areas. Sur
 prisingly\, however\, oscillations in the vStr itself have only rarely bee
 n studied systematically. I will present work that (1) uses a novel applic
 ation of GLMs to characterize rhythmic activity in vStr spike trains\, (2)
  considers pitfalls in the interpretation of local field potential oscilla
 tions\, which are particularly pernicious in the case of vStr\, and (3) te
 sts to what extent variable responses to a given input can be predicted ba
 sed on LFP state variables. Together\, these studies provide a foundation 
 for a novel oscillatory perspective on understanding vStr function\, which
  is well placed to address the interplay between local circuits and broade
 r systems-level coordination\n
