Histone variants: Novel epigenetic regulators of learning and memory
Formation of long-lasting memories is a complex multi-stage process that relies heavily on transient and stable changes in epigenetic marks. Dr. Zovkic recently discovered that histone variant exchange is a novel epigenetic regulator of memory. Specifically, Zovkic’s lab has shown that histone H2A.Z is actively removed from memory-related genes during learning and that virally-mediated H2A.Z depletion enhances memory formation. Dr. Zovkic will discuss how H2A.Z is regulated during learning and how learning-induced changes in H2A.Z mediate behavioural outcomes in mouse models.

Synopsis:
Mia (Emma Stone), an aspiring actress who works in a coffee shop in a busy Hollywood studio lot in between auditions, keeps bumping into the disgruntled Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), a dedicated yet stubborn jazz musician who dreams of opening his own jazz club one day.
The two finally get together and Mia even begins to love jazz, but she also begins to lose faith in herself when yet another audition goes wrong. Sebastian believes in her and convinces her to give it one last shot, but she feels he’s selling out when he joins a popular band as a keyboard player in an effort to make money for the two of them. Their struggles and differences drive a wedge between them.

Synopsis:
As three teenage girls are waiting in a car to be driven home the morning after a sleepover party, a strange man gets into the driver’s seat. His name is Kevin (James McAvoy) — a seriously mentally ill man with 23 personalities. He kidnaps the girls and shuts them away in a locked bunker. They quickly learn he has more than one identity when he shows up dressed as a woman, telling them, “Don’t worry. He knows what you’re here for. He knows he’s not allowed to touch you.”
Another of his personalities, Hedwig, says he’s nine years old. One of the girls, Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy), realizes the only way they can get out is to convince one of Kevin’s alter egos to let them go. She thinks maybe Hedwig will help, but he tells them, “He’s done awful things to people and he’ll do awful things to you.” Hedwig tells them that they’re being prepared for “The Beast.”
Meanwhile, Kevin’s psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher (Betty Buckley), who doesn’t know what he’s done, believes there is a submerged personality she hasn’t yet met who will materialize and dominate all the others.
