DESCRIPTION:\nThe Killam Seminar Series presents: The Gut-Brain Dopamine Ax
 is\n\nIvan De Araujo\, Professor\, Neuroscience\, Mount Sinai Hospital\, U
 SA\n\n\nAbstract: Recent studies reveal that an ascending neural pathway e
 xists linking the gastrointestinal tract to midbrain dopamine rigid system
 s\, where reward and action selection are computed in brain. The vagus ner
 ve constitutes a critical node within this pathway\, with the stimulation 
 of its gastrintestinal fibers leading to behavior reinforcement and to sec
 retion of dopamine in brain. The potential implication of this pathway in 
 the development of synucleinopathies will also be discussed.\n\nBio: Major
 ed in Philosophy at the University of Brasilia\, followed by postgraduate 
 work in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Edinburgh. Obtained h
 is Doctorate (DPhil) in Medical Physiology and Imaging at the University o
 f Oxford\, under the supervision of Edmund T. Rolls. Performed postdoctora
 l work in Neurobiology at Duke University Medical Center\, where he record
 ed in awake animals the activity of networks of neurons linked to the dige
 stive tract. From 2007 through 2018\, he directed his Neurobiology of Feed
 ing Laboratory at Pierce Labs (Yale University)\, previous to joining Moun
 t Sinai in August 2018. After describing the taste-independent calorie sen
 sing phenomenon\, his main interests revolve around the question of how th
 e body communicates with the central nervous system\, and in establishing 
 interfaces for brain stimulation therapies triggered by peripheral signals
