A recent hypothesis that has taken everyone by surprise is the possibility that in order for a memory to be formed\, our DNA has to break into two pieces\, and fix itself\, essentially “writing” memories with our genes. \nLEARN MORE: Physiological Roles of DNA Double-Strand Breaks \nLEARN MORE: Activity-Induced DNA Breaks Govern the Expression of Neuronal Early-Response Genes \n \nKit Carlton \n“A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.” \n― Eudora Welty \nHumans have long employed various modes of pictography and visual speech to encode and record our personal/cultural histories and memories. Traditionally\, poetry is considered one of the most effective vehicles for conveying and remembering these messages… \n \nKit Carlton (incorporating research images from Sydney Boutros) \nIf a poem is elementally a verbal painting\, can a painting be a pictorial poem? What about an abstract painting? Can a photograph be all three? Come find out as we explore our memories through poetry\, photography\, abstraction  –  and broken DNA. \n \n“Stoked and geeking-out to announce my partnership with @nwnoggin on a collaborative project/talk” – Kit Carlton \n \nKit Carlton \nPlay games\, test your memory\, and explore art and neuroscience at Floyds this fall! \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nView this post on Instagram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nGetting really stoked and hyped over this event ya’ll! Bet you can’t tell\, huh? @dysney11 and I will be Breaking it Down—talking about the abstraction of encoding memories on 10/15. The event lasts from 6-8 and you can even hold a real human brain in your hands thanks to the swell folks over @nwnoggin ! I cannot wait! How freaking cool is that? If you can’t make the event please know that the work is up now and on view at Floyd’s Old Town Coffee @oldtowncoffeepdx until the end of October. But if you attend our talk you’ll get the real 411 on the work and how memories are made. Seriously come make some memories with us!

Univ.\, Portland\, OR; 4Art & Neurosci.\, NW Noggin\, Portland\, OR \n“All is in motion\, is growing\, is you” – Joy Harjo \nScience needs investment and diverse perspectives\, and integrating arts in STEM (STEAM) encourages people to get involved. The public pays for research\, yet many lack access to useful findings. \nNonprofit NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) organizes undergraduates and graduates to collaborate\, build community networks and inspire people about neuroscience and the arts. 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 30\,000 people since 2012! \nTeenagers undergo dramatic\, consequential change in brain anatomy and function\, responding to environments and making mistakes. How others react impacts development\, benefiting or undermining the trajectory of young lives. \nThe social rules we learn in adolescence are complex. They depend on who you are\, including race\, sex\, gender identity\, sexual orientation\, class\, neighborhood\, national origin and a host of other factors. Research also highlights the significant ethnic and income differences in youth and lifetime experiences of trauma.\nYet in 1994\, Oregon voters passed Ballot Measure 11\, which established mandatory minimum sentences for “serious crimes against persons” and required defendants aged 15 and older to be tried as adults. Oregon now has one of the highest youth incarceration rates in the country. Native American\, Hispanic and Black Oregonians are incarcerated at disproportionately higher rates relative to white people. \nTeenagers are not adults. This year we worked with the Hope Partnership and the Oregon Youth Authority to bring NW Noggin volunteers to the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility\, where over 200 boys and young men (ages 12 – 25) are confined. We enjoyed powerful discussions about the brain basis of trauma\, anxiety\, and emotional regulation\, bias in judicial and law enforcement systems\, pathways in psychology for counseling and research\, and what role neuroscientists play\, or might play\, in judicial and legislative reform. MacLaren youth are studying the law and neuroscience in order to bolster a case for changes to Measure 11. \nBuilding excitement and awareness of discoveries\, educational options and careers through arts-integrated outreach across institutional\, state\, federal and generational lines trains new scientists to collaborate\, brings useful\, actionable knowledge to underserved communities\, and increases awareness and support for investment in brain research and the arts. \n \nLEARN MORE: Myelinating at MacLaren \nLEARN MORE: All is in motion\, is growing\, is you \nLEARN MORE: Corrections\, Bias & Brains URL:https://nwnoggin.org/event/noggin-sfn-theme-j-poster-026-10su-dd42/ LOCATION:McCormick Place Chicago\, 2301 S King Drive\, Chicago\, IL\, 60616\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nwnoggin.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/2d57a6e4-9f64-4483-92f4-6e03711311fa.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191021T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191021T143000 DTSTAMP:20260610T161214 CREATED:20191015T192442Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191019T134636Z UID:28784-1571650200-1571668200@nwnoggin.org SUMMARY:Noggin @ W.

Dendritic arms made of fabric-wrapped wire reach out to create an experience of neuroplasticity. \n\n\n\n \nWHAT:  Reception for “MEMORY: Cerebral Entanglement” an art installation by Kindra Crick \n WHERE: Dengerink Gallery at WSU (Vancouver) 14204 NE Salmon Creek Ave\, Vancouver\, WA \nWHEN:  Thursday\, November 14th from 5:30 – 8:30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the greatest mysteries of the mind is our memory\, the ability to time-travel and use recollections\, whether conscious or not\, to shape our future choices. At our core\, when we think about who we are\, we rely on a confluence of evolving narratives we remember. \nFor an exploration of memory\, join NW Noggin Brain Board members artist Kindra Crick and Legacy Research Institute (LRI) neuroscientist Dr. John Harkness this Thursday. \nMemory: Cerebral Entanglement started in late 2015 as a NW Noggin collaboration between Kindra Crick and LRI neuroscientist Dr. John Harkness who was researching memory in Dr. Barbara Sorg’s Legacy Research Institute Lab. Included in this exhibit are three microscopic images taken from the lab’s latest research. \nDr. Harkness investigates net-like structures called perineuronal nets which surround neurons in our brain and are associated with memory retention and the close of developmental learning windows. Although these net-like structures were documented over a hundred years ago by Italian neuroscientist Camillo Golgi\, their role in our memories is only beginning to be understood. Golgi described this scaffolding outside the neuron as a “kind of corset.” That description was the inspiration for sculptural materials. To echo Golgi\, each neuron is ensnared in netted fabric that shimmers in its delicate embrace of scraps of memory held within each synaptic connection. \nOn hand dyed kozo paper\, ink portraits of untangled\, overlapping individual neurons dance around the gallery walls. This is a small sample of the 86 billion neurons which\, when networked and active\, help generate our every sensation and thought. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIdeas Spreading: untangled ink portraits of neurons on hand dyed kozo paper\n\n\n\nIn magnifying and re-imagining these hidden molecular structures\, Kindra’s aim is to evoke the wonder of discovery and offer an imagined vision of the spectacular biological machinery which may comprise the very core of our memories and our essential sense of self. \nExhibition runs: September 9\, 2019 – January 6\, 2020 \nGallery hours weekdays (M – Th) from 7am – 10pm and Friday from 7am – 5pm and is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUndergraduates enjoying the MEMORY art installation URL:https://nwnoggin.org/event/reception-for-memory-cerebral-entanglement/ LOCATION:Dengerink Gallery at WSU (Vancouver)\, 14204 NE Salmon Creek Ave\,\, Vancouver\, WA\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nwnoggin.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/IMG_4587-e1573621844445.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191114T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191114T203000 DTSTAMP:20260610T161214 CREATED:20191030T125333Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191030T125721Z UID:28970-1573756200-1573763400@nwnoggin.org SUMMARY:PSU Neuro Club MOVIE NIGHT!

In our brainstorm\, my students were super curious and fascinated by how new learning\, new information\, actually gets wired/stored in their brains! I’m thinking that the pipe-cleaner neuron modeling looks very interesting!” \n \nSunnyside encourages a place-based approach to education. “Place-based education differs from traditional classroom-based education in that it is founded on the belief that students’ local community as one of the most important resources for learning. Place-based education at Sunnyside Environmental school means that part of the student learning experience is spent beyond the walls of the actual school building. Natural spaces\, local neighborhoods\, museums\, our own school yard and university campuses are just a few places where our students learn in place. These locations provide a canvas upon which elements of history\, environmental education\, scientific and biological relationships\, culture\, mathematics\, economy\, literature\, and art are used to help children authentically make meaning of the world around them.” \n \nWe thoroughly agree! We don’t expect K-12 students to come to us; we volunteer and go where people study\, work\, live  –  and listen\, learn\, discover\, make art\, share stories (and brains!)  –  and genuinely connect… \nLEARN MORE: Honest selves @ Hosford \n \nCOMMITTED VOLUNTEERS\nBill Griesar\, NW Noggin/PSU/OHSU\nJeff Leake\, NW Noggin/PSU/Gallery 114\nAaron Eisen\, NW Noggin/NUNM\nPaul Delahanty\, PSU\nMichael Deveney\, PSU\nAngela Hendrix\, NW Noggin\nJacob Schoen\, OHSU URL:https://nwnoggin.org/event/noggin-sunnyside-pps/ LOCATION:Sunnyside Environmental School\, 3421 SE Salmon St\, Portland\, OR\, 97214\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nwnoggin.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/IMG_3103-scaled.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191121T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191121T200000 DTSTAMP:20260610T161214 CREATED:20191030T124429Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191030T124429Z UID:28968-1574361000-1574366400@nwnoggin.org SUMMARY:PSU Neuro Club Research in Review DESCRIPTION:WHAT: PSU Neuroscience Club Research in Review – Beth Habecker on Cardiac Nerve Regeneration \nWHERE: Smith Memorial Student Union Room 294\, Portland State University\, 1825 SW Broadway\, Portland\, OR 97201 \nWHEN: Thursday\, October 31\, 6:30pm – 8:00pm URL:https://nwnoggin.org/event/psu-neuro-club-research-in-review-2/ LOCATION:Smith Center\, Portland State University\, 1825 SW Broadway\, Portland\, OR\, 97201\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nwnoggin.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/image6-4-rotated.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191126T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191126T113000 DTSTAMP:20260610T161214 CREATED:20190827T142313Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191126T155638Z UID:27941-1574760600-1574767800@nwnoggin.org SUMMARY:Noggin @ p:ear DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin @ p:ear (last Tuesday in fall) \nWHERE: p:ear\, 338 NW 6th Ave.\, Portland\, OR 97209 \nWHEN: Tuesday\, November 26\, 2019\, 9:30am – 11:30am \n \n“Every brain is civilized\,\nEvery nerve is analyzed\,\nEverything is criticized when you are in need.”\n–Bob Dylan \nNoggin 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… \n \nWe 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.! \n \nLearning about the brain\, and behavior\, and genuine\, evidence-based structural and functional aspects of who we are is powerful and actionable information for everyone\, including young people who experience anxiety\, depression\, drug addiction\, bias\, chronic stress  –  and for many the poverty\, isolation\, racism\, homophobia\, and lack of affordable housing that can impact the development of us all. \n \nLEARN MORE: Noggin @ p:ear \nSee what we’ve done this month already with p:ear… \nPopping off (& pot) @ p:ear\n \nNicotine is a gateway drug\n \nSeeing us all through research & art\n \n“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…” \n \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\nBill Griesar\, NW Noggin\, PSU\, OHSU\nJeff Leake\, NW Noggin\, PSU\nAaron Eisen\, NW Noggin\, National University of Natural Medicine\nJana Sillay\, PSU/OHSU\nJohanna Hostick\, OHSU\nDrew Sinclair\, PSU\nJessica Squires\, PSU\nIsidro Chan\, PSU\nNuno Busch\, PSU\nCameran Nicholas\, PSU\nKyle Stinson\, PSU\nJason Blume\, PSU\nNatalie DeWitt\, PSU\nPatricia Fraker\, PSU\nSara Moreno.
