“Every brain is civilized,
Every nerve is analyzed,
Everything is criticized when you are in need.”
Bob Dylan

Noggin is returning to P:ear, a remarkable Portland organization aimed at building positive relationships with homeless and transitional youth through education, art and recreation to affirm their personal worth and help them create more meaningful and healthier lives…

See what we did last Tuesday!

Popping off (& pot) @ p:ear

We are excited to communicate science through the extraordinary volunteer efforts of our talented graduate and undergraduate Noggin participants from Portland State University, Oregon Health & Science University, the Pacific Northwest College of Art, and other collaborators.!

Learning about the brain, and behavior, and the evidence-based structural and functional aspects of who we are is powerful and actionable information for everyone, including young people struggling, like many, with anxiety, depression, drugs, bias, chronic stress  –  and the poverty, isolation, racism, homophobia, lack of affordable housing and other factors that can impact development.

Seeing us all through research & art

“Not only are people on the streets affected, but those of us who sleep in our own beds each night also have our brains impacted by homelessness, perhaps through less activation of cerebral networks required to fully humanize those in our community in need of our acknowledgement and support…”

Come join us! Please RSVP to griesar@pdx.edu and jleake@pdx.edu…
