SUMMARY:Noggin @ Bridges Middle School
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin visit to Bridges Middle School \nWe did it! Learn more at the LINK… \nMaking our own boxes\, and brains!\n \nWHERE: Bridges Middle School\, 2510 SW 1st Ave\, Portland\, OR 97201 \nWHEN: Thursday\, February 14\, 2019 (Happy Valentine’s Day!)\, 9 – 11:00am \nContact: Heather Hofeld\, Science Teacher \n“The most interesting people you’ll find are ones that don’t fit into your average cardboard box. They’ll make what they need\, they’ll make their own boxes” –Dr. Temple Grandin \n \nBridges is one of the few schools in Oregon devoted to students with learning differences. We’ll meet with students in 5th through 8th grade\, discover what they already know about brains\, examine brains and make brain-related art… \nFrom Science Teacher Heather Hofeld: “We have a wide range of cognitive ability at Bridges with students performing below grade level and those who could probably handle college course work! We have studied body systems and cells this year with the nervous system taking center stage right now. My students have already learned about the basics of neurons and have created paintings of neurons which are currently up in the hallway… \n \n \nLEARN MORE: MAKE Brain Map \nLEARN MORE: STEAM Projects \n“I like the brain mapping activity. We are currently learning about the four major lobes of the brain and then we will investigate some of the substructures. A mapping activity might reinforce what we are doing right now.” \n \nWe’ll make two large brain maps on the floor with colored craft paper  –  one a side (lateral) view and one cut right down the middle\, front to back (mid-sagittal). We’ll identify the different lobes (which students have been studying) with different colors. And then we’ll use different colored yarn to connect regions that are linked both structurally and functionally into networks. \n \nImage by Aaron Eisen\, PSU Neuro Club \nFrom Eric Fezco at OHSU: “What might be interesting is to label the different large scale regions by systems\, and then identify which systems may be implicated across ADHD and autism\, depending on what might be altered behaviorally. We’ve been working on a study examining this in the context of executive function\, so it might be a good fit here.” \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\nEric Fezco\, OHSU\nMichael Deveney\, PSU\nAndrew Stanley\, PSU\nBill Griesar\, PSU/OHSU/NW Noggin\nJeff Leake\, PSU/NW Noggin

SUMMARY:Supernatural Science: Battling Demons in the Brain
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin joins the “Psychology of Supernatural” panel at Portland’s Wizard World Comic-Con! \n \nWe did it! Learn more at this link… \nCarry on my wayward son\n \nWHERE: Oregon Convention Center\, 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd Portland\, OR 97232 \nWHEN: Saturday\, February 23\, 5:30pm \nPANEL LOCATION: B110\nBRAIN VIEWING LOCATION (after panel): C125 \n“Join tens of thousands of fans as they converge at Wizard World Comic Con Portland to celebrate the best in pop culture…” \n \nWe’re excited to join the Wizard World Comic-Con panel on the “Psychology of Supernatural!” \n \n“Every urban legend has a source. A place where it all began…” – Hook Man (2005) \nREAD THE BOOK: Supernatural Psychology: Roads Less Traveled \nBill Griesar of NW Noggin\, Portland State University and OHSU will join Erin Currie\, Adjunct Assistant Professor at PSU and Consultant at MyPsychgeek\, and Janina Scarlett\, a clinical psychologist\, author and originator of Superhero Therapy at Wizard World Comic-Con on Saturday\, February 23! \n \n“Neurons are like Spiderman” -artwork by Portland State undergraduate Keys Le \nLISTEN: Superhero Therapy Podcast E14: Psychology of Supernatural \nWe are excited (even depolarized!) to explore the psychological and neuroscience aspects of battling demons\, perceiving ghosts\, and the power of family support and storytelling to illuminate\, guide and heal… \n \nPerception and cognition depend on brains and bodies\, and research is illuminating the rich inherent diversity in our unique\, changeable and developing neural networks\, and both the personal and shared experiences which shape who we are… \n \nYour own thoughts\, perceptions and experiences are genuine: so what’s going on..? \nGrief\, trauma\, sleep disturbances\, sleep paralysis\, prosopagnosia\, memory impairments\, drug dependence\, anxiety\, PTSD\, Capgras syndrome\, panic disorder\, temporal lobe epilepsy\, macular degeneration\, musical ear syndrome\, Charles Bonnet\, psychological biases and a host of other aspects of our remarkable brains and behavior may contribute to dramatic\, “Supernatural” experiences. \n \n“I guess I was seeing things.” “That doesn’t mean it wasn’t real.” \nBrothers Sam and Dean suffer multiple traumatic losses throughout 14 seasons of this popular show\, and cope with their pain differently\, in both adaptive and maladaptive ways. We all struggle to regulate our emotions\, and Sam appears to aim for a strategy known as re-appraisal by talking situations out with other people\, including his brother\, to consider new approaches. Dean\, in contrast\, tends towards suppression and distraction through alcohol and one night stands  –  but also\, of course\, by fighting monsters (“My peace is helping people\, working cases; that’s all I want to do”)… \n \n“You’re tailspinning man\, and you refuse to talk about it and you won’t let me help you” -Sam to Dean\, from Heart (season 2\, episode 17) \nLEARN MORE: Antecedent- and response-focused emotion regulation: divergent consequences for experience\, expression\, and physiology \nRe-appraisal is usually a more effective strategy\, partly because it prepares you to respond less fearfully or impulsively to (for example) a hex bag or a crossroads demon\, rather than trying to clamp down on your emotions once a “fight or flight” response is in full swing. \n \nCortical networks (indicated in blue) are involved in perceptual aspects of what you’re experiencing\, attending to and deciding\, while networks in red (involving both subcortical and cortical regions) drive faster\, more impulsive\, emotional responses… \nLEARN MORE: Functional imaging studies of emotion regulation: A synthetic review and evolving model of the cognitive control of emotion \nThere are moving\, therapeutic conversations between the brothers\, and between the brothers and other characters (including fellow Hunter Bobby Singer and the angel Castiel)\, involving efforts to remind each other of family loyalty and support\, and consider options in more positive and effective ways. \nYet a quick\, fear or anger-driven emotional impulsive response might be essential in many other circumstances encountered in the show. If a Wendigo is racing towards you at lightning speed\, you want all the sympathetic nervous system activation you can get! And of course\, a Rakshasa dressed as a clown is going to increase Sam’s heart rate and blood pressure (mine too!) no matter how much re-appraisal he’s done… \n \nEfforts to regulate emotions through re-appraisal and suppression tend to decrease activity in a brain region known as the amygdala (a)\, while increasing the activity of networks in the frontal lobe\, including the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) (b)\, dorsolateral PFC (d)\, and medial PFC (c) that are critical for inhibiting impulsive emotional responses… \nLEARN MORE: Brain Imaging Investigation of the Neural Correlates of Emotion Regulation \n \n“And like you say\, we’re family  –  and we don’t leave family behind” -Dean to Castiel \nWhen we see character struggles on a celebrated TV show\, it resonates with our own traumatic experiences. You are not alone in experiencing stress\, and one way to cope is to find meaning  –  connection with others\, loyalty to family\, a life purpose\, a valued and critical skill… \nWe’ve also referenced actor Jared Padelecki’s efforts to educate about depression in the past… \n\nChanging Brain Waves of Depression\n\n \nBreathe\, by Pacific Northwest artist Sienna Morris \n“Family’s everything you know” -Dean \nLEARN MORE: Always Keep Fighting \nSo…which pipe cleaner neuron best embodies the Supernatural Devil..? 🙂 \n \nLiking the red of the rosehip neuron  –  but maybe something more dopaminergic… 😏😈 \nLEARN MORE: Rosehip neurons in pipe cleaners! \n \nDecided on a motivational dopaminergic neuron from the ventral tegmental area (VTA)\, which responds to stimuli predicting delivery of some reward… \n \nThe Devil is in the dopamine… 🙂 \nLEARN MORE: New perspectives on catecholaminergic regulation of executive circuits \n \nWe’ll also have (extra!) human cerebrums available after the panel in C125 for anyone interested in asking more questions about the relationship between perception\, cognition\, behavior and our brains… \nCOMMITTED BRAIN WRANGLER PARTICIPANTS\nJoey Seuferling\, NW Noggin\nJeff Leake\, Art Coordinator\, NW Noggin\nAndrew Stanley\, PSU

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 K-12 students since 2012! \n \nThere is tremendous need to develop approaches to assist academic priority K-12 students\, and offer access to social and economic benefits of education. Students struggle with academic achievement. The dropout rate for Native Americans is particularly high. Oregon has a rich Native culture and history\, yet only in 2017 did the Legislature mandate a statewide K-12 curriculum for ‘tribal history\,…sovereignty\, culture\, treaty rights\, government\, socioeconomic experiences\, and current events.’ \n \nIn 2017 we received a grant from Spirit Mountain Community Fund for outreach with tribal majority schools\, aimed at making connections between animal figures in Grande Ronde and Siletz stories and neuroscience research. \n \nIn 2018 we engaged over 300 K-12 students through brain research\, storytelling\, music and art! We spent spring 2018 collaborating with the Oregon Pacific Area Health Education Center (OPAHEC) visiting students\, teachers and staff at Siletz Valley Early College Academy\, Amity and Willamina High Schools. \n \nIn summer\, we joined award-winning Native storyteller Esther Stutzman at her annual camp in Curry County\, to hear Coos and Kalapuya tales\, and discuss relevant brain research. \n \nIn fall\, Noggin volunteers from Portland State University and OHSU\, along with Native storyteller Fish Martinez and puppeteer Ana Mello\, spent three days telling stories\, answering questions\, holding brains\, and connecting in classrooms through drumming\, music\, poetry\, research and art! \n \nIntel’s Native American Employees Network (INAN) prepared a “Noggin Brain Box” filled with outreach project instructions\, pens\, paper\, 3D printed brain models\, and pipe cleaners for crafting brain cells. OPAHEC and Noggin also brought students to OHSU for a tour of MRI imaging facilities\, to expand knowledge of clinical and research career options. \n \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\, engages more communities\, and increases awareness and support for investment in brain research and the arts. \n \n* NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org); ** Department of Psychology\, Portland State University; *** Department of University Studies\, Portland State University; **** Department of Behavioral Neuroscience\, Oregon Health & Science University \nLEARN MORE: Until the story takes shape \n  \nThe Portland State University Neuroscience Club is presenting several posters\, too\, including…\n \nDOWNLOAD: SfN-Chapter-Meeting-Club-Poster \nLEARN MORE: How can you change your brain? \nTitle: K-12 students want to learn about neuroscience! \nAuthors: Eisen\, A.\, Howard\, C.\, Benefiel\, J.\, Schmidt\, J.\, Chapek\, M.\, Lerner\, M.\, Garduno\, R.\, Uriarte-Lopez\, J.\, Hamilton\, H.\, Kiersarsky\, A.\, Sumrall\, L. \nCorrespondence: aaeisen@pdx.edu\, camd@pdx.edu\, benefiel@pdx.edu\, julis4@pdx.edu\, mchapek@pdx.edu\, mlerner@pdx.edu\, rgarduno@pdx.edu\, jru@pdx.edu\, ham28@pdx.edu\, ak36@pdx.edu\, sum5@pdx.edu; Portland State University\, P.O. Box 751\, Portland\, OR 97207-0751 \nAbstract: The Neuroscience Club at Portland State University actively works to enrich local communities with taxpayer supported neuroscience research. Our members devote their time and effort into bringing education\, art\, and enthusiasm to our community. A primary focus of our outreach is directed at K-12 public schools with the objective of giving students opportunities to interact with science in ways they might not necessarily have had. We base our outreach on open inquiry and tie in elements of philosophy for children. The students have the opportunity to guide their own learning\, which captures their enthusiasm and engagement for the subject. We have found the students maximize their learning when given the opportunity to ask open-ended questions in a supportive and understanding environment\, prompting forth questions filled with both complexity and creativity that could baffle even the most experienced neuroscientists. Students engage the world around them and through the exploration of neuroscience\, often draw upon personal experience to connect with others and stimulate thought. Through this process they can better understand themselves and the world around them. Students use the medium of art to support their understanding of advanced concepts guided by their own creativity and physical engagement with the content. Students screen-print works of neuronal art and twist pipe cleaner neurons to life\, teaching them ways to engage art with science further while enhancing their understanding of the subject in a hands-on fashion. This poster was inspired by questions collected during an outreach event at North Middle School in Grants Pass\, OR. These questions are representative of common student inquiries from all our community outreach events. Although the Neuroscience Club initially focused on students\, the club has since expanded its reach to include more diverse populations. The Neuroscience Club’s objectives include nourishing the future generation of scientists and artists whilst allowing education to be fun and engaging and have a place to flourish in diverse communities. \nSources: NW NOGGIN: Neuroscience outreach group (growing in networks) – Building networks in the community through neuroscience education and art.

DESCRIPTION:WHAT: “Cannabis\, Pain\, Bias & Brain” at Brown University dinner \nWHERE: Andina Restaurant\, 1314 NW Glisan St\, Portland\, OR 97209 \nWHEN: Tuesday\, April 16\, 6:00 – 8:30pm \n \nArtist Frida Kahlo survived a bus accident in 1925\, which broke her spinal column\, collarbone\, ribs\, pelvis and right leg\, crushed and dislocated her right foot\, dislocated her shoulder – and left her with terrible\, psychologically debilitating bouts of chronic pain. \nA provocative and entertaining evening at Andina restaurant featuring Bill Griesar ’87\, Ph.D\, Senior Instructor in Psychology at Portland State University and Co-Founder and Neuroscience Coordinator of NW Noggin and Jeff Leake\, M.F.A.\, artist\, PSU instructor and Co-Founder and Art Coordinator of NW Noggin. We’ll be joined by Andy Shaindlin ’86\, Vice President for Alumni Relations at Brown University. \n \nWe will explore neuroscience\, cannabis\, addiction\, pain relief\, bias in enforcement\, and public policy.  \n \nSLIDES (ppt): Cannabis\, Pain\, Bias & Brain\nSLIDES (pdf): Cannabis\, Pain\, Bias & Brain \n \nMarijuana remains a Schedule I “illicit” drug at the federal level\, and the University of Mississippi samples used for research do not reflect what Americans actually consume. \n \n\nCannabis and Cannabinoids for Chronic Pain\n\n“We found that inhaled (smoked or vaporized) cannabis is consistently effective in reducing chronic non-cancer pain. Oral cannabinoids seem to improve some aspects of chronic pain (sleep and general quality of life)\, or cancer chronic pain\, but they do not seem effective in acute postoperative pain\, abdominal chronic pain\, or rheumatoid pain. The available literature shows that inhaled cannabis seems to be more tolerable and predictable than oral cannabinoids…”\n\n\nCannabis for Chronic Pain: Challenges and Considerations\n“The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine has found substantial evidence that cannabis (plant) is effective for the treatment of chronic pain in adults\, and moderate evidence that oromucosal cannabinoids (extracts\, especially nabiximols) improve short-term sleep disturbances in chronic pain. The paradoxical superiority of the cannabis plant over cannabinoid molecules represents a challenge for the medical community and the established processes that define modern pharmacy…”\nCannabinoids and Pain: New Insights From Old Molecules\n“Recent meta-analyses of clinical trials that have examined the use of medical cannabis in chronic pain present a moderate amount of evidence that cannabis/cannabinoids exhibit analgesic activity\, especially in neuropathic pain…” \n \n\nLEARN MORE: Marijuana legalization means fewer opioid deaths \nLEARN MORE: Listening to testimony at p:ear

New post here..! \nPower to Choose: Mindfulness & Addiction\n \nAll Brain Awareness Lectures take place at:\nThe Newmark Theatre\, 1111 SW Broadway\, Portland\nand begin at 7:00 p.m. \n \n\nPLEASE NOTE: NW Noggin volunteers expected for set up at 5:30pm! \n\nCan using mindfulness and meditation techniques help people reduce the intake of harmful substances and prevent relapse? Come hear about intriguing new scientific data on mindfulness and brain stimulation in addiction recovery. \n \nDr. Katie Witkiewitz is a Regents’ Professor of Psychology at the University of New Mexico with a joint appointment at the Center on Alcoholism\, Substance Abuse\, and Addictions. The underlying theme of her research is the development of empirically-based models of addiction\, with an emphasis on applying advanced quantitative research methods to better understand changes in addictive behavior over time. Dr. Witkiewitz is also a licensed clinical psychologist and has worked extensively on the development of a theoretical model of biopsychosocial influences on alcohol and drug relapse. This research has led to her collaborative work on the development and evaluation of mindfulness-based relapse prevention for addiction. She has conducted numerous empirical studies on the prediction of alcohol and drug relapse following treatment for substance use disorders\, mechanisms of successful alcohol treatment outcomes\, as well as the development of interventions to treat addiction. Her research has been supported by grants from the National Institute on Mental Health\, the National Institute on Drug Abuse\, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the National Cancer Institute\, totaling over $20 million in research funding since 2004. \nDr. Witkiewitz was born in Rochester\, New York\, and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from the State University of New York at Potsdam in 1999. She completed a Masters of Arts degree at the University of Montana in 2000 and her doctoral degree at the University of Washington in 2005 under the direction of Dr. G. Alan Marlatt. Todate\, she has authored five books\, over 175 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters\, and she has given over 75 presentations and invited talks. \n \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n1.
