DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kyung Won Kim\nhosted by Joesch Group\nAbstract: Under
 standing the mechanisms of neurodegeneration induced by environmental haza
 rds and neurodegenerative diseases is crucial for advancing neural health.
  In this talk\, I will discuss the physiological impacts of microplastics 
 on neuronal function\, focusing on their potential to exacerbate neurodege
 nerative symptoms\, such as those seen in Parkinson’s disease [1].  Add
 itionally\, I will present a newly developed optogenetic C. elegans model 
 of TDP-43 proteinopathy\, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)\, wh
 ich could serve as a valuable tool for identifying potential therapeutic t
 argets for ALS.
