DESCRIPTION:\n	Tanycytes\, specialized glial cells lining the third ventricl
 e of hypothalamus mediate the dialogue between the brain and the periphery
 . These highly plastic and heterogenous cells regulate the secretion of ne
 uropeptides from hypothalamic neurons into the pituitary portal system as 
 well control blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid exchanges. They als
 o sense and shuttle circulating metabolic signals to hypothalamic neurons 
 involved in regulation of food intake. Tanycytes\, thus potentially repres
 ent a missing link connecting behavior\, hormonal changes\, signal transdu
 ction and activation of central neurons. Disruptions in these pathways pre
 dispose an organism to a number of age-related disorders\, including metab
 olic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. In order to come up wit
 h therapeutic strategies to combat these metabolic and cognitive diseases\
 , it is extremely important to study the heterogeneity of tanycytes as wel
 l as to study the molecular basis of their interaction with hypothalamic n
 eurons and the periphery. The focus of this seminar will be to highlight c
 utting-edge genetic approaches\, systems neuroscience and pharmacological 
 approaches designed to explore the role of tanycytes in health and disease
 .\n\nThis seminar will be given online via Zoom. See attached poster for d
 etails.\n
