DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Amelia Douglass & Zoltan Haiman\nhosted by Sandra Sieg
 ert & Chris Wojtan\nAbstract: Amelia Douglass |How the Brain Keeps Us in B
 alance: Neural Circuits that Maintain HomeostasisThe survival of every org
 anism depends on maintenance of the body’s internal environment in the f
 ace of a demanding external world. This state of equilibrium\, known as ho
 meostasis\, is controlled by the brain. By detecting challenges to homeost
 asis- such as hunger or stress- the brain initiates adaptive changes in bo
 th behavior and physiology that restore stability. These adjustments rely 
 on continuous\, bi-directional dialogue between the brain and the body\, m
 ediated by intricate neural circuitry that we are only just starting to un
 ravel.In this talk\, I will highlight recent progress in uncovering this b
 rain-body interplay and the conceptual and technological advancements that
  have made these discoveries possible. I will focus particularly on the hy
 pothalamus- a small but critically important brain region that serves as a
  central hub for homeostatic control. Through this lens\, I will discuss f
 undamental principles and neural circuitry underlying how the brain mainta
 ins stability in the face of constant challenges._____________________Zolt
 an Haiman |Electromagnetic and Gravitational-Wave Signatures of Merging Bl
 ack HolesAmong the few interesting things they can do\, black holes can co
 llide and merge\, forming bigger black holes\, emitting copious gravitatio
 nal waves (GWs) in the process.  These black hole mergers should often ta
 ke place in gas-rich galactic nuclei\, and therefore also produce concurre
 nt electromagnetic (EM) emission.  I will discuss the science we expect t
 o do with the joint detections of GW and EM signatures in the next decade\
 , and what we need to do to make this happen.
