Neural Foundations of Vision and Cognition: A symposium in honor of Dr. Leslie G. Ungerleider (Day 1)
The Laboratory of Brain and Cognition of the NIMH Intramural Research Program is organizing a scientific symposium in honor of Leslie G. Ungerleider entitled " Neural Foundations of Vision and Cognition " to be held in-person at the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD, on Sept 19th and 20th, 2022. Dr. Ungerleider was a pioneering neuroscientist whose work spanning five decades, ranged from single cell recordings and anatomical tracings in monkeys to PET and fMRI studies in humans, from sensory processing in V1 to attentional modulation in prefrontal and parietal cortex, and from low-level visual perceptual learning to high-level so...

Demystifying Medicine: Neurofibromatosis Type 1 related Tumors: From Natural History to Precision Therapy
Jointly sponsored by FAES and NIH, the Demystifying Medicine course aims to bridge exciting developments in medicine with advances in the basic biological and engineering sciences. When possible, a live patient introduces the course topic by discussing their disease, followed by a physician scientist who describes clinical aspects of the disease including therapy and challenges, followed by bench scientist who describes what we know and don't know regarding mechanism. The course is designed to excite as well as inform medical and Ph.D. students, fellows, basic and physician scientists, and program planners.For more informa...

Can a Controversial Tree Help End the Opioid Crisis?
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) Integrative Medicine Research Lecture SeriesKratom (botanical nameMitragyna speciosa Korth) is a tree in the coffee family (Rubiaceae) indigenous to Southeast Asia. Its leaves are the source of a Thai traditional drug, kratom, that possesses unique pharmacologic actions — e.g., stimulant actions like those of the coca plant plus depressant ones like those of opium. Traditionally, in its countries of origin, kratom extract has been used as an opium substitute; in Thailand, it has been used as a treatment for addiction.Recently, human case reports have increa...

Prediction of clinical outcomes after CNS injury using cognitive neuroscience and computational linguistics.
In this report, we present preliminary data in which our methodology enables us to assess the auditory processing network in health individuals. We describe a tightly interactive bilateral neural network located in the temporal parietal lobes. This network is recruited independent of hearing and handedness. It is our intention to use this data to predict the 1, 2 and 3 year postsurgical language mediated neural network alterations following specific surgical interventions. Although we are primarily focused on auditory language processing networks, the same methodology can be used to assess all other aspects of language pro...

WALS Lecture with Danielle Bassett on Biological Networks
Speaker Danielle S. Bassett ’ s group studies the structure and function of networks, predominantly in physical and biological systems. Her interests lie in using and developing tools and theories from complex systems science, statistical mechanics, and applied mathematics to study dynamic changes in network architecture, the interaction between topological properties of networks and physical or other constraints, and the influence of network topology on signal propagation (mechanical, electrical, informational) and system function. In physical systems, her group conducts research in dynamical systems as well as granular...

Reading Between the Tweets: Social Technologies for Predicting and Changing Health Behavior
This talk is part of the Integrative Medicine Research Lecture Series presented by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. Social technologies — for example, social media, mobile apps, internet searching, and wearable sensors — and the data they produce are increasingly being used as tools in public health research and practice. More than half of the world (4.5 billion people) is using social media sites to create, share, and discuss content. Social media users are not just sharing trivial facts, but publicly telling the world personal things about their thoughts, behaviors, and clinical diagnos...
