SUMMARY:Society for Neuroscience Oregon / SWWA Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Society for Neuroscience Oregon / SW Washington Annual Meeting \nA fantastic celebration of regional scientific research!\n \nCHECK OUT THE PROGRAM: SFN OR-WA 2021 program \nWHERE: Register for the *ONLINE* Chapter Meeting HERE \nWHEN: Thursday\, April 15\, 8:50am – 7:30pm \n \nThe Oregon/Southwest Washington Chapter is the local group affiliated with the Society for Neuroscience. Our annual meeting in the spring brings together neuroscience students\, postdoctoral scholars and faculty from across the state and region to share projects and network with colleagues. \n \nNoggin poster\n \nNW Noggin:  Axons & Arpilleras – Addressing trauma and supporting community across disciplines and national boundaries \nGRIESAR\, W.S.* ** *** ****\, LEAKE\, J.* ** *** ARANEDA\, C. ** ***** \n“No happiness or pain\, no more forgetting” \n― Gabriela Mistral \n \nScience needs investment and diverse perspectives. Integrating arts in STEM (STEAM) encourages more people to get involved. \nNonprofit NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) organizes undergraduates and graduates to collaborate\, build community networks and inspire people about neuroscience and art. Volunteers benefit from work across disciplines and institutions\, serve as “near peer” role models\, gain skill explaining research\, and think creatively about careers. We’ve met over 45\,000 academic priority K-12 students\, homeless youth\, incarcerated youth and members of the public since 2012! \n \nExtreme inequality defines the United States\, with devastating brain\, health and social consequences\, as more people struggle to access food\, water\, education\, public transit\, healthcare and housing. \nConcentrated wealth isolates those with extravagant resources from the broader community. Isolation is worsened by degrading rhetoric from political leaders and pundits who protect privileges\, often by dehumanizing others. \nInequality can also lead to the violation of human rights\, and violence. \nValparaíso\, Chile\, home to both a long history of neuroscience research and astonishing art traditions\, is currently targeted by a repressive and authoritarian government\, whose leader\, billionaire Sebastian Piñera\, has declared “war” (guerra) on those protesting injustice. \n \nNoggin partnered with Chilean artist/educator Cecilia Araneda to teach how the art of “arpilleras\,” the sewing of embroidery and patchwork to depict aspects of life\, has helped many express traumatic experiences and contribute to the memory of significant national violations of human rights. \nWe participated in a public radio interview and displayed arpilleras and human brains at Street 14 Café during an “Art Walk” in Astoria\, Oregon\, and discussed neuroscience research on stress\, trauma\, memory\, dehumanized perception\, resilience and recovery. \nWe then presented and crafted our own arpilleras at p:ear\, a critical community center for support of Portland Oregon youth who lack access to safe\, stable housing\, while answering questions about behavior and the brain. NW Noggin was p:ear’s Community Partner awardee in 2020. \nBuilding excitement and awareness of discoveries\, educational options and careers through arts-integrated outreach across institutional\, international and generational lines trains new scientists to collaborate\, engages more communities\, and increases awareness and support for investment in brain research and the arts. \n* Department of Psychology\, Portland State University;  ** NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org);  *** Department of University Studies\, Portland State University; **** Department of Behavioral Neuroscience\, Oregon Health & Science University; ***** Colectivo Memoarte \nSewing Memories\, & Brains\n \nPSU Neuroscience Club poster\n \nWATCH HERE: Navigating neuroscience education and outreach during COVID-19 \nSee what our outreach participants have done with SfN in the past!\n \nLEARN MORE: Noggin @ Society for Neuroscience \n2021 Chapter Program\n8:50 AM Welcome \nMini-symposium of the Gut Microbiome-Nervous System Axis \n9:00     Insights into the enteric nervous system: perspectives from a gut stem cell biologist\nAnnie Zemper\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Professor of Biology\, University of Oregon \n \n9:30    Environmental challenges\, the gut microbiome\, and behavioral and cognitive measures in mouse models\nJacob Raber\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience\, OHSU \n10:00    Microbial modulation of zebrafish behavior and brain development\nJudith Eisen\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Biology\, University of Oregon \n10:30    Emerging roles of gut microbiome in autism\nMaude David\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Professor of Microbiology\, Oregon State University \n11:00     Role of the Gut Microbiome in Effects of Dominant Human Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) Mutations on Behavioral and Cognitive Performance in Mice\nPayel Kundu\, Ph.D.\, OHSU \n \n11:15    Lunch break and poster viewing \n12:30    An eye on neurogenesis: Exploring how retinal progenitors transition from proliferation to differentiation in the developing zebrafish visual system\nKara Cerveny\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Biology\, Reed College \n1:00    Comparing Response Times Between HSAN2 and Typical Participants\nChris Koch\, Ph.D.\, George Fox University \n1:15     A Non-Human Primate Model of Neonatal Encephalopathy to Evaluate Novel Translational Therapeutics\nMeredith Kelleher\, Ph.D.\, Oregon National Primate Research Center \n1:30     Brain Volumetrics Across the Lifespan of the Rhesus Macaque\nSteven Dash\, Oregon National Primate Research Center \n \n1:45     Centella asiatica and Withania somnifera improve resilience in a Drosophila melanogaster model of aging\nChristine McClure\, N.D.\, M.S.\, OHSU \n \n2:00     Cannabidiol Vapor Inhalation Effects in Memory\, Social Interaction\, and Instrumental Behavior of Female Rats\nMaria Rivera-Garcia\, Ph.D.\, Dow Neurobiology Labs – Legacy Research Institute \n \n \n2:15     Break and poster-viewing \n2:45    Understanding functional architecture and neuromodulation of brain circuits using connectomic and novel imaging approaches\nTianyi Mao\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor\, Vollum Institute\, OHSU \n \n3:15     Investigating the Role of Cell Migration Inducing and Hyaluronan Binding Protein (CEMIP) in Central Nervous System Disease\nAlec Peters\, Oregon National Primate Research Center \n \n3:30    Expression and Distribution of Aquaporin-1 in Extremely Aged Rhesus Brain\nOpal Stayer-Wilburn\, Oregon National Primate Research Center \n \n3:45     Ibuprofen induces differences in NMDA and AMPA receptor functions between males and females\nEmily Sackinger\, Oregon State University \n \n4:00     Amyloidosis in the Prefrontal Cortex of Old Rhesus Macaques Resembles that of Humans\, Showing Extracelluar Plaques and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy\nGail Stonebarger\, Oregon National Primate Research Center \n \nPOSTER SESSION Q&A\n4:20    John Cook\n4:25    Raey Gesese\n4:30    Bill Griesar and Jeff Leake (video above)\n4:35    Alex Speers\n4:40    Abby H.
