Portland State University in Portland\, OR offers a minor in interdisciplinary neuroscience\, where Noggin co-founders Dr. Bill Griesar and Jeff Leake both teach. In 2023\, we reached out to artists and STEM colleagues at the Universidad de Valparaíso Chile. Along with the PSU Education Abroad Office and Academic Programs International we created Cerebrarte\, the first international\, homestay-based STEAM program exploring the rich art and neuroscience traditions of the Valparaíso region. We brought 17 students and two faculty to Chile from July 27 – August 28\, 2023. Through visits to labs and the historic complex at Montemar\, we explored how research on the giant axons of Humboldt squid contributed to our understanding of the electrical signaling that links our perceptual and cognitive experiences to the world. We met Dr. Ramón LaTorre and Dr. Juan Saez (members of the National Academy of Sciences)\, Dr. David Naranjo\, Dr. Jesús Olivares\, Dr. John Ewer and Dr. Kate Whitlock\, and graduate students and postdocs for discussions about olfaction\, voltage-gated channels\, spider neurons and potential therapeutic compounds in boldo tea. We welcomed Kings College London neuroscientist Dr. Richard Wingate\, Editor of brainfacts.org\, the outreach arm of Society for Neuroscience\, who spoke about his 2023 book\, “The Story of the Brain in 10 ½ Cells\,” with the ½ Cell referencing the giant axon. Valpo is home to exceptional research\, and is a celebrated center of public art. Street art was legalized in 1990\, and eye-catching murales are everywhere. Students examined art with thiscatcallededdie\, explored regional museums\, created engravings (grabados)\, and sewed arpilleras\, woven depictions of challenging and sometimes traumatic experiences that allow emotional expression and create durable memories of events with artist Cecilia Araneda. We explored the neuroscience of perception\, stress and trauma as it relates to personal experience (including aspects of culture shock)\, research\, art and the 50th year since El Golpe\, the US-backed coup that violently overthrew democratically elected President Salvador Allende in 1973. The program culminated in a visit to Ciencia al Tiro\, a STEAM outreach nonprofit where we made pipe cleaner brain cells and took them to the streets to speak with residents of Playa Ancha sobre porque las neuronas son bacanes (why neurons are cool). Cerebrarte was an exciting\, interdisciplinary\, intercultural\, international experience\, and will occur again in 2025. \nLEARN MORE: Las neuronas son bacánes! \nJOIN US IN CHILE IN 2025: Valparaiso – Arte y Cerebros en Chile

SUMMARY:Noggin Presents: NIH Brain Initiative Conference!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Northwest Noggin presents a workshop on “Fostering inspiration and engagement through outreach\, noggins and art” at the 10th Annual NIH BRAIN Initiative Conference! \n \n \n \nWHERE: Glen Echo\, Bethesda North Marriott\, 5701 Marinelli Rd\, Rockville\, MD 20852 \nWHEN: Tuesday\, June 18th\, 11:15am – 12:15pm \n \n \n \nMAKE ART! ASK QUESTIONS! EXAMINE (3D-printed 🙂 BRAINS! \n \nCome join Northwest Noggin at the 10th Annual Brain Initiative conference on Tuesday\, June 18th to explore how the arts and humanities can enhance\, inform and enrich neuroscience research! \n \nScreenshot \nREGISTER (free!) HERE: The 10th Annual BRAIN Initiative Conference \n \nTHANK YOU NIH BRAIN INITIATIVE FOR PROVIDING ALL THE RESOURCES FOR NW NOGGIN TO TRAVEL\, STAY\, PRESENT AND EAT AT THE CONFERENCE! (we also received\, after weeks of repeated requests\, $43 from Portland State University to ship pipe cleaners for our workshop :)) \n \nThe Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® Initiative\, or The BRAIN Initiative®\, is a partnership between Federal and non-Federal partners with a common goal of accelerating the development of innovative neurotechnologies. Through the application and dissemination of these scientific advancements\, researchers will be able to produce a revolutionary new dynamic picture of the brain that\, for the first time\, shows how individual cells and complex neural circuits interact in both time and space. \n \nLEARN MORE: The Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative \n \nABSTRACT\nFostering inspiration and engagement through outreach\, noggins and art\n \nScience needs investment\, and engaging the public communicates discoveries and builds support for education and research. Integrating the arts in STEM (STEAM) fosters interdisciplinary engagement\, and draws in more people not currently overrepresented in the academic study of neuroscience. Nonprofit NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) organizes undergraduates and graduates to collaborate\, build community networks and inspire people about neuroscience and art. We bring diverse students excited by research and their own study of the brain and behavior into public schools\, correctional facilities\, Congress\, houseless youth centers\, coffee shops and pubs to hear what people already know and what they’d like to know\, and to see where our stories and discoveries from labs and classrooms intersect. We’ve talked with over 70\,000 people since 2012! K-12 students and members of the public are inspired by interacting with our undergraduates and graduates\, and discover new possibilities for future educational and career paths. Our outreach volunteers learn about community needs and questions\, and become better at communicating science. Many of our projects and experiences involve emerging technologies\, including 3D printing. In our BRAIN Conference session\, we’ll have plenty of colorful 3D printed cerebrums to share\, and we’ll build new cells from pipe cleaners that reflect the extraordinary diversity revealed by BRAIN Initiative supported technologies. Anyone interested in the power of art to excite\, engage and invite a broader public into STEM will enjoy this experience\, and come away with ideas to expand their own outreach efforts. Building excitement and awareness of discoveries\, educational options and careers through arts-integrated neuroscience outreach trains new scientists to collaborate\, engages more people\, and increases awareness and support for community investment in both brain research and the arts. \n \nSLIDES\n \nSLIDES (.pptx): NW Noggin BRAIN Initiative 2024 \nSLIDES (.pdf): NW Noggin BRAIN Initiative 2024

Some of them are very excitable\, and can bend others to their will\, while some are better at slowing things down. Some brain cells can listen\, some of them see\, and others help you feel\, remember\, make decisions\, notice things\, get hungry\, sleep or tell stories. \n \nWe’ll introduce these incredible brain actors and explore them  –  including what they look like\, and what they do  –  and discover the neighborhoods (parts of our brains and nervous systems) where they live. We’ll examine real brain specimens\, and discover how our own brain cells grow and develop and change across our lives! \n \nAnd we’ll ask: what brain cell do YOU want to be? \nWhich cell speaks to you\, and why? Are you pretty excitable? Some brain cells can’t stop talking. A little shy? Some cells help us slow down and relax. Do you feel things deeply? Are you always hungry? Sleepy? Goofy? Anxious? Do you like to tell stories? \nWho would YOU be as a brain cell?\n  \n \nJOIN US THIS SPRING\, hold noggins\, make art\, discover brain cells and create your very own\, with its own shape\, its own functions and its own neighborhood in your brain! \nTHIS SPRING: BRAIN CELL STORIES WITH NORTHWEST NOGGIN AND KIDS MAKE THEATRE!\nWEDNESDAY\, MAY 1\nTravel to Astoria\nSTAY: The Y Astoria\, 514 12th Street\, Astoria\, OR\, 97103\n4:30 – 6:30pm: Storytelling Brain Workshop (6 – 9 year olds) w/Kids Make Theatre @ the Liberty Theater FULL\nDINNER: Fort George Brewery\, 1483 Duane St\, Astoria\, OR 97103 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nTHURSDAY\, MAY 2\nSTAY: The Y Astoria\, 514 12th Street\, Astoria\, OR\, 97103\n8:30am – 12:30pm: Astoria High School\, 1001 W Marine Dr #5829\, Astoria\, OR 97103\nLUNCH: Peter Pan Market\, 712 Niagara Ave\, Astoria\, OR 97103\n4:30 – 6:30pm: Storytelling Brain Workshop (9 – 18 year olds) w/Kids Make Theatre @ the Liberty Theater\nDINNER: Fort George Brewery\, 1483 Duane St\, Astoria\, OR 97103 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nFRIDAY\, MAY 3\n9:45am – 1:00pm\, Jewell School\, 83874 OR-103\, Seaside\, OR 97138\n(note mailing address Seaside but it’s on Highway 103 quite a bit inland 🙂\nLUNCH: Jewell School\nReturn to Portland \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nTHANK YOU!!!!!!\nHousing and meals provided by Fort George Brewery\, Peter Pan Market\, Jewell School & TRIO Clatsop! \nCOMMITTED VOLUNTEERS (FULL)\n1.

SUMMARY:Society for Neuroscience OR/SW WA Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Society for Neuroscience OR/SW WA Chapter Annual Meeting \n \n \nWHERE: McMenamins Edgefield\, 2126 SW Halsey Street\, Troutdale\, OR \nWHEN: Friday\, March 8 – Saturday\, March 9\, 2024 \n \nFrom their website: “The Society for Neuroscience is the world’s largest organization of scientists and physicians devoted to understanding the brain and nervous system.” \nThis year’s Chapter theme: Neuroinflammation and the Aging Brain \n \nSFN OR WA SCHEDULE \nSFN OR WA 2024 PROGRAM \n \nLEARN MORE: Molecular Mechanisms of Neuroinflammation in Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease Progression \nLEARN MORE: Systemic inflammation as a predictor of brain aging \n \nNW Noggin volunteers include neuroscience undergraduates\, graduate students\, postdocs and artists\, and both individually and collectively we present and attend local chapter meetings and international conferences for the Society for Neuroscience (SfN). \nLEARN MORE: NOGGIN & SfN \n \nNW NOGGIN ABSTRACT\nLas neuronas son bacanes: interdisciplinary neuroscience in Valparaíso Chile \nGRIESAR\, W.S.124\, LEAKE\, J.123 \n1Department of Psychology\, Portland State University;  2NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org);  3Department of University Studies\, Portland State University; 4Department of Behavioral Neuroscience\, Oregon Health & Science University \n \n \nPOSTER_Noggin_SfN_Chapter_2024 \nNonprofit nwnoggin.org organizes collaboration around interdisciplinary neuroscience\, going places to explore brains\, hear stories\, make art and see where research discoveries can contribute. Portland State University in Portland\, OR offers a minor in interdisciplinary neuroscience\, where Noggin co-founders Dr. Bill Griesar and Jeff Leake both teach. In 2023\, we reached out to artists and STEM colleagues at the Universidad de Valparaíso Chile. Along with the PSU Education Abroad Office and Academic Programs International we created Cerebrarte\, the first international\, homestay-based STEAM program exploring the rich art and neuroscience traditions of the Valparaíso region. We brought 17 students and two faculty to Chile from July 27 – August 28\, 2023. Through visits to labs and the historic complex at Montemar\, we explored how research on the giant axons of Humboldt squid contributed to our understanding of the electrical signaling that links our perceptual and cognitive experiences to the world. We met Dr. Ramón LaTorre and Dr. Juan Saez (members of the National Academy of Sciences)\, Dr. David Naranjo\, Dr. Jesús Olivares\, Dr. John Ewer and Dr. Kate Whitlock\, and graduate students and postdocs for discussions about olfaction\, voltage-gated channels\, spider neurons and potential therapeutic compounds in boldo tea. We welcomed Kings College London neuroscientist Dr. Richard Wingate\, Editor of brainfacts.org\, the outreach arm of Society for Neuroscience\, who spoke about his 2023 book\, “The Story of the Brain in 10 ½ Cells\,” with the ½ Cell referencing the giant axon. Valpo is home to exceptional research\, and is a celebrated center of public art. Street art was legalized in 1990\, and eye-catching murales are everywhere. Students examined art with thiscatcallededdie\, explored regional museums\, created engravings (grabados)\, and sewed arpilleras\, woven depictions of challenging and sometimes traumatic experiences that allow emotional expression and create durable memories of events with artist Cecilia Araneda. We explored the neuroscience of perception\, stress and trauma as it relates to personal experience (including aspects of culture shock)\, research\, art and the 50th year since El Golpe\, the US-backed coup that violently overthrew democratically elected President Salvador Allende in 1973. The program culminated in a visit to Ciencia al Tiro\, a STEAM outreach nonprofit where we made pipe cleaner brain cells and took them to the streets to speak with residents of Playa Ancha sobre porque las neuronas son bacanes (why neurons are cool). Cerebrarte was an exciting\, interdisciplinary\, intercultural\, international experience\, and will occur again in 2025. \nLEARN MORE: Las neuronas son bacánes! \nNOGGIN PRESENTS SATURDAY\, MARCH 9\n \nCEREBRARTE SLIDES (ppt): NW Noggin SfN Chapter Presentation 2024 \nCEREBRARTE SLIDES (pdf): NW Noggin SfN Chapter Presentation 2024
