SUMMARY:Noggin @ Latino Network!
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: See what we did!\nLatino Network Learning & Lobes\n \nThe Latino Network is a Latino-led education organization\, grounded in culturally-specific practices and services\, that lifts up youth and families to reach their full potential… \n \nLEARN MORE: LATINO NETWORK \nNW Noggin is thrilled to partner with this effective nonprofit community organization which shares our interests in improving community livability\, fostering civic participation\, and preparing young people for educational and life success… \n \nWe’re excited about meeting staff to talk brains\, and highlight research on changes in adolescent development\, the benefits of bilingualism\, and other relevant topics.  Later this fall we’ll bring graduate and undergraduate Noggin volunteers\, including fluent Spanish speakers from the NIH BUILD EXITO program\, into Latino Network partner schools… \n \nAnd we’re eager to pursue international links with students and faculty at Chile’s Centro Interdisciplinario Neurociencia de Valparaiso (CINV)\, and their own outreach program “Ciencia al Tiro” in a South American community known for its significant contributions to both foundational neuroscience research and the arts. \nLEARN MORE: \nLa Alegría de la Ciencia\n \nIn many ways\, neurociencia es española. The “founder” of modern neuroscience was an artist and anatomist from Spain (Ramon y Cajal of course)\, and fundamental advances in our understanding of electrophysiology were and continue to be made in Spanish-speaking Europe and Latin America. \n \nLEARN MORE: Instituto Cajal \nIn the 1960’s\, in Montemar\, north of Valpo\, the University of Chile in Santiago ran a marine-biology laboratory where neuroscientists studied how small proteins embedded in brain cell membranes allowed for charged particles called ions (including sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+)) to cross under certain circumstances\, allowing for electric currents to flow down the wire-like axons of our neurons… \n \nLEARN MORE: Montemar Institute of Marine Biology \nChile took off as a center of neuroscience research largely because of the Humboldt squid! The axons of this invertebrate are enormous\, visible to the naked eye\, and amenable to electrode placement on either side of the membrane to record changes in charge as neurons go from a resting state to the “action potential!” \n \nLEARN MORE: Neuroscience: The great squid hunt \n \nAnd for our training at the Latino Network we’ll be joined (via Skype!) by David Naranjo\, Ph.D.\, a neuroscientist at CINV who studies the structural and functional aspects of small membrane-embedded proteins known as voltage-gated potassium channels\, which contribute to a neuron’s ability to conduct electric currents. We are looking forward to integrating grad students and post-docs from CINV for future school visits (again via Skype) in collaboration with the Latino Network… \nTRAINING SLIDES: NW Noggin @ Latino Network (pdf) \n
