SUMMARY:OHSU Lecture: Adele Diamond
DESCRIPTION:The “Secret Sauce” to Honing the Mind\n \nNew post! Learn more at the link…\nDiamond advice: brains\, art\, stories & play\n \n \nMonday\, May 14\, 2018\n5:30pm (for Noggin volunteers!)–8:30 p.m.\nNewmark Theatre \nNoggin volunteers should arrive by 5:30pm for set up… \n\n\n\n\nExecutive function skills – self-control\, perseverance\, creativity – are more predictive of success than IQ. What supports and what hinders these skills? The surprisingly nutritious brain benefits of play and movement. \n\n\n\nAdele Diamond\, Ph.D.\n \nAdele Diamond is the Canada Research Chair Professor of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. She is a member of the Royal Society of Canada and was recently recognized as one the 15 most influential neuroscientists alive today. \nProf. Diamond is at the forefront of research on ‘executive functions’ and on the brain’s prefrontal cortex on which they depend. Executive functions include ‘thinking outside the box’ (cognitive flexibility)\, mentally relating ideas and facts (working memory)\, and giving considered responses rather than impulsive ones\, resisting temptations and staying focused (inhibitory control\, including selective attention). \nShe has made discoveries that have improved treatment for two different medical disorders and discoveries that have impacted education\, improving the lives of millions of children. Her work has shown that executive functions can be improved even in the very young. \nAdele Diamond was educated at Swarthmore (B.A.\, Phi Beta Kappa)\, Harvard (Ph.D.)\, and Yale Medical School (postdoc). Her many awards include an honorary doctorate (Honoris Causa) from Ben-Gurion University\, the Bronfenbrenner Award for Lifetime Contributions to Developmental Psychology in the Service of Science and Society\, named a “Woman of Distinction” by the YWCA\, and named one of the “2000 Outstanding Women of the 20th Century.” \nCOMMITTED VOLUNTEERS \n1. Sun Ho Kim\, Neuroscience of Creativity FRINQ (PSU)\n2. Avery Crowell\, Neuroscience of Creativity FRINQ (PSU)\n3. Skyler Crowell\, Neuroscience of Creativity FRINQ (PSU)\n4. Rebecca Hood\, OHSU\n5. Jade Osilla\, PSU\n6. Ashley Keates\, PSU\n7. Heather Hamilton\, PSU/NIH BUILD EXITO\n8. Jeehoon Jung\, WSU Vancouver\n9. Andrew Stanley\, PSU\n10. Jacob Schoen\, OHSU Primate Center \nGET TICKETS: Nourishing Your Neurons: How you fuel your brain creates pivotal changes \nLEARN ABOUT THE FIRST LECTURE WITH SUZANA HERCULANO-HOUZEL… \nSoup for Brains!\n \nHow much energy does a brain require? How many brain cells do we have? Are humans unique in terms of brain size\, number of neurons  –  or social skills\, tool use\, deception\, or play..? How do you make “brain soup?” And what’s the best way to bring fresh cerebrums on an international flight?!
