Department of Pharmacology Seminar: Reesha R. Patel, PhD

Chicago - 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Reesha R. Patel; Assistant Profesor, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciecnes, Northwestern University. 

Lecture title: Prefrontal CRF signaling shapes behavior under stress and uncertainty.

Abstract: The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays a central role in integrating internal state with environmental information to guide adaptive behavior. However, how stress-related neuromodulatory signals reconfigure prefrontal circuit function to bias behavioral output remains an open question. In this seminar, I will discuss our recent work identifying corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) signaling within mPFC as a key neuromodulatory mechanism that shapes behavioral responses across distinct contexts. First, I will present work demonstrating that social isolation recruits CRF-dependent prefrontal circuit mechanisms that promote escalated alcohol drinking through alterations in basolateral amygdala (BLA)-mPFC connectivity and alcohol-related neural representations. I will then discuss ongoing studies examining how local CRF signaling biases prefrontal processing of ambiguous threat-related cues during fear generalization. Together, these findings reveal CRF signaling within mPFC as a context-sensitive internal-state signal that reconfigures prefrontal circuit function to guide behavioral responses to stress and threat.

Teaching without AI When AI Is Everywhere

Evanston - 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM

As instructors across disciplines navigate the growing presence of generative AI in their teaching contexts, they are thoughtfully considering how it intersects with learning, assessment, and disciplinary values. This 90‑minute in-person conversation creates space to focus on shared questions:   

Which intellectual tasks should students practice without AI, and how can assignments make that learning observable, assessable, and meaningful?

Participants will take away practical strategies for both small and large classes, including ways to structure assessments that make student thinking visible. After the session, these strategies will be shared broadly to all faculty through the Searle Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning and the Office of the Provost. Throughout the conversation, we will emphasize instructor vitality, underscoring the importance of sustainable, shareable approaches that build on existing practices rather than continual reinvention.
