SUMMARY:Kanani Miyamoto @ p:ear
DESCRIPTION:First Thursday Art Show\, 7/6\n \nThe p:ear gallery is thrilled to announce their June/July 2017 showcase of “place” a new collection of work by Kanani Miyamoto\, Jillian Barthold and p:ear youth artists. \nThis amazing new collection of work engages culture\, relationship\, space\, objects and personal identity and ranges from playful landscapes to dramatic print work. These elements challenge the often mundane and overlooked concept of “Place” and how it plays a pivotal role in who we are and the relationships we have. This collection will be accompanied by print work from p:ear youth. \nWHAT:  “place” art show \nWHERE:  p:ear\, 338 NW 6th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97209-3611\, United States \nWHEN:  Thursday\, July 6 at 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM

SUMMARY:"Here We Are" with NW Noggin!
DESCRIPTION:Great conversation this morning with Shane Mauss\, a professional stand-up comedian who produces the popular “Here We Are” science podcast.  Each week\, Shane speaks with a different scientist about their recent work or area of study\, bringing their ideas to the public in a fun and accessible way… \n \nLEARN MORE:  Here We Are \nToday Shane held a brain\, examined pipe cleaner photoreceptors\, and together we co-hosted and planned a second conversation (potentially next week) with Noggin Art Coordinator Jeff Leake.  We also considered the following question… \n \nWhat do you wish everyone in the world knew about neuroscience (or anything in general really)?!  What are the top things about the brain & behavior that captivate you  –  and your students?   \n \nI put this query to our accomplished Noggin Resource Council members\, and here are their thoughts… \nJessica Patching-Bunch:  I love the ability we have to rewire and create neuro pathways. I think that it is important that people know that at any given time (though it’s not always easy!) they can choose to create different habits\, thoughts and daily practices that help their brain to change and grow which in turn helps them in their daily life. \n \nBrianna Jacobs:  That neuroscience isn’t isolated to academia and clinicians; that it’s something that can be accessible to children\, and those of all educational backgrounds. We all strive to know what makes us human\, what drives our needs and desires\, what makes us similar and different. \n \nSulema Rodriguez:  I wish that people knew that neuroscience is not something that can only be learned by a few elite. Once you start to learn about neuroscience your world view changes. You begin to understand that these neuronal connections are what make up who you are. It’s honestly pretty amazing. \n \nRuth Marigomen:  I wish everyone knew that studying neuroscience is a form of introspection. With every single discovery we make about the inner workings of the brain\, we are not only answering pertinent scientific questions—we are also addressing our long-time question of “What make us human?” I must say that before I entered the field\, I had a lot of these philosophical questions: inquiries I thought would be hushed by the austere\, more tangible answers I would get as I learn about the brain. I thought that neuroscience would enlighten me about concepts like perspective\, memory\, and behavior\, and oh\, was I wrong. The more I studied it\, the more I felt ignorant. The more concepts I dove into\, the more philosophical inquiries I have triggered: “Are our emotions nothing but a surge of a cocktail of neurotransmitters?” “Are our cherished memories not as real and accurate we thought?”  The enthralling questions abundant in the field of neuroscience can trigger the intrinsic queries we have about ourselves as humans. And those are the questions worth asking anyway. \n \nChristina Williams:  So\, first of all I wish everyone knew that the 10 percent myth\, is exactly that\, a myth! It’s surprising how many people truly believe this. I think Hollywood is largely to blame. Hence movies like limitless\, and that hideous movie Lucy! Ugh! I shudder just thinking of it! Yuck!  The second thing I wish we could all know about neuroscience\, is the nature of consciousness. If it’s the sum of all parts of the brains inner workings\, or if it’s the result of certain structures or functions of the brain. I’ve heard many theories and some too wild to consider. But I’m sure this is a piece of neuroscience knowledge that everyone in the world would want to know. Also: What is the nature of brain death? As someone who has been involved in the medical field for over a decade\, I am quite familiar with all the facets of code blue\, and the situations where people are clinically dead for extended periods of time before being resuscitated. I once saw I women be brought back after nearly 15 minutes with no measurable vital signs whatsoever! It was truly astonishing! However\, in a more recent incident at my last job\, I had a patient who coded while I stood there\, and even after several of us performed CPR\, and the medics came and used the paddles\, he was gone. What determines that moment\, when and where in the brain is this spark held. What is the neurological\, or neurophysiological nature of this electrical signal and what determines its on off function? \n \nJoey Seuferling:  Neuroscience is a field with so much left to discover\, and the idea that our brain allows us to experience a world full of excitement and wonder is very special. Our brain is who we are!

SUMMARY:Planning session:  Noggin training for Latino Network staff
DESCRIPTION:Noggin will run a training for staff at the nonprofit Latino Network on Tuesday\, October 10th… \nThe “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 made in Chile. \n \nTonight we’ll discuss how we’ll organize and present our upcoming training… \n \nSome ideas from the meeting… \n\nWe are preparing a free training for staff and teachers at the Latino Network\, a respected local nonprofit that serves to elevate Latino students in Portland public schools\, and offer enrichment opportunities. We were thinking about how so many Spanish speaking scientists were fundamentally involved in the development of neuroscience as a field\, starting of course with Ramon y Cajal. Letting young Latino kids (and other kids) know about this rich history might encourage them to consider pursuing research into how our brains function to make us who we are\, as part of an extraordinary tradition of people just like themselves. \n\n\n\n\nWe have a group of young Spanish speaking Noggin outreach volunteers (several from Mexico and Central America\, one with family in Spain) who are preparing this training – and they were extremely enthused about welcoming a working scientist or grad student from Chile to join us\, too\, via Skype.  We’d be thrilled to welcome grad students\, postdocs and scientists for introductions (en Español)  –  to talk about CINV and the history of neuroscience research in the Valparaíso region. \n\n\nWe are excited about furthering this connection – perhaps by inviting more Chilean outreach participants from CINV/Ciencia al Tiro to introduce themselves and their research to Portland public school classrooms by Skype later this year. If this works well\, we’d like to pursue support to bring volunteers from Chile to Portland\, and perhaps send our volunteers to visit schools in Valpo! \n\n\n\n\n\nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n Andrea Anaya\, PSU\n Sulema Rodriguez\, Noggin Resource Council member for PSU/NIH BUILD EXITO\nJessica Patching-Bunch\, Noggin Resource Council member for communications\n Joey Seuferling\, Noggin Resource Council member for healthcare and hospitals\nAngela Gonzalez

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
