SUMMARY:Noggins in Astoria! (1)
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin @ Astoria High School\, Astoria\, OR\n \nWHERE: Both virtual (link coming to volunteers) and LIVE visits! \nWHEN:\n1. Tuesday\, May 11\, 2:45 – 4:15pm Pacific (Virtual) \nWe did it!\nLEARN MORE:\nClatsop Community Cortex\n \n2. Thursday\, May 20\, 2:45 – 4:15pm Pacific (Virtual)\n3. Friday\, May 21\, 11:00am – 12:30pm Pacific (LIVE; outdoor location TBD) \n \nWe are thrilled to return to school in this remarkable river city\, and hear what high school juniors and seniors are learning about brains! We’ll gather virtually on Tuesday (5/11) to meet\, discuss neuroscience research and introduce a found object brain cell project. We’ll be back online Thursday (5/20)  –  and LIVE Friday (5/21)  –  to see all the neurons and glial cells\, consider more questions and hold a few extra brains! \n \n(This time we’ll be outdoors\, physically distanced and masked!) \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n1. Bill Griesar\, NW Noggin/PSU/OHSU\n2. Jeff Leake\, NW Noggin/PSU/OHSU\n3. Jasmin Mabry\, PSU/NIH BUILD EXITO\n4. Yuri Sugano\, University of Chicago\n5. Andrea Rano\, PSU/NIH BUILD EXITO\n6. Magda Armendariz Sullivan\, PSU\n7. Kass Fitzgerald\, PSU\n8. Melissa Sek\, PSU\n9. Alex Heinrich\, PSU\n10. Annika Hokanson\, PSU \n \nLEARN MORE: Found Neuron Project \nStudent Questions!\n\n\n\n\n\nCould you modify the brain to forget how to die\, therefore living forever? \n\n\n\n\nWhat are alters actually in DID? \n“There is not a clear understanding of DID etiopathology\, there is no standardized method of diagnosis\, and as such\, the disorder has been plagued by a history of fabrication case studies (North\, 2015). For these reasons\, the disorder is opposed by many psychiatrists. To address this controversy\, researchers have begun to examine the neurological basis of DID in an effort to provide stronger physical evidence for the disorder.” \nLEARN MORE: A systematic review of the neuroanatomy of dissociative identity disorder \n\n\n\n\nWhat was one interesting thing learned from Henry M.’s brain? (Patient H.M.) \n \n\n\n\n\nHow do we know if most humans really perceive colors the same? \n\n\n\n\nCould you use electrodes in the brain to simulate certain emotions or trigger certain memories or reactions? \n\n\n\n\nHow efficient is your brain at running\, like how much energy does it make \n \nWhile making up only a small fraction of our total body mass\, the brain represents the largest source of energy consumption—accounting for over 20% of total oxygen metabolism. Of this\, it is estimated that neurons consume 75%–80% of energy produced in the brain. This energy is primarily utilized at the synapse with a large proportion spent in restoration of neuronal membrane potentials following depolarization. Other neuronal functions such as vesicle recycling\, neurotransmitter synthesis and axoplasmic transport also contribute to synaptic energy depletion and the requirement for an elevated metabolic rate in neurons. Energy requirements are therefore not uniform throughout the brain but instead increased in localized regions dependent on neuronal activity. \nLEARN MORE: Brain Energy and Oxygen Metabolism: Emerging Role in Normal Function and Disease \nIn a group of healthy volunteers\, the researchers showed that different brain regions that serve distinct functions have notably different power and different cost. They then investigated the effects of alcohol on these new measures by assessing a group of people that included light drinkers and heavy drinkers and found that both acute and chronic exposure to alcohol affected power and cost of brain regions. Brain imaging used by NIH scientists to improve our understanding of how alcohol affects the brain. \n“In heavy drinkers\, we saw less regional power for example in the thalamus\, the sensory gateway\, and frontal cortex of the brain\, which is important for decision making\,” said Dr. Shokri-Kojori. “These decreases in power were interpreted to reflect toxic effects of long-term exposure to alcohol on the brain cells.” \nLEARN MORE: NIH study of brain energy patterns provides new insights into alcohol effects \n\n\n\n\nHow fast can the brain process information? \n\n\n\n\nWhat happens to the brain when you are dehydrated? \n\n\n\n\nHow does caffeine affect the brain? \n \nCaffeine\, a chemical\, acts to block (or “antagonize”) receptors for adenosine\, a chemical that binds to the adenosine receptors. This reduces the release of some important neurotransmitters\, among them dopamine\, norepinephrine\, serotonin and acetylcholine that are essential for staying alert and awake. Adenosine is a nucleotide (found in DNA\, mRNA)\, and is also part of an important energy substrate known as ATP\, or adenosine tri-phosphate. \nAs your day progresses\, and you express your genes and use up ATP\, your bloodstream levels of adenosine rise\, and bind to adenosine receptors in several cerebral regions\, including an area beneath the frontal cortex called the basal forebrain. This decreases brain activity and you feel sleepy\, and cognitively a little slow  –  appropriately ready\, of course\, for a restorative nap. \nBut then Kat\, Olivia or Micha serve you a glorious and rewarding cup of Stumptown at Street 14\, and the caffeine finds your brain’s adenosine receptors\, displacing that downer adenosine and transiently attaching itself to the receptors instead. Caffeine blocks the normal response of these receptors\, so again\, it is considered an adenosine receptor antagonist. \nThere remain copious swarms of adenosine molecules circulating in your blood\, and your body still needs that rest\, but your brain is no longer listening to this chemical signal with caffeine antagonizing the receptors in the basal forebrain and elsewhere where adenosine would normally act. You’re up! \nLEARN MORE: Astoria Noggins: Tipsy Buzzed Mice @ Street 14 \nLEARN MORE: Drunk mice on espresso – what could go wrong? \nIf someone experiences a certain emotion a lot does that make it more likely for them to experience that emotion more often? \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nWould it be possible to keep a brain alive/working without it being attached to a real body? \n\n\n\n\nCould you make a brain process more information faster and basically improve everybody’s brainpower. Maybe in the future curing brain illnesses. \n\n\n\n\nDoes long-term alcohol use affect the brain and how it functions? \nAlcohol is a fascinating molecule\, easily capable of crossing membranes and gaining access to the brain\, with a water soluble hydroxyl (-OH) “head\,” and a fat soluble\, two carbon “body” – making it appear\, suggests Dr. Grant\, a bit like a friendly dog. \nLEARN MORE: What’s a “drink..?” At the Newmark for beer & brains \n\n\n\n\nHow is the brain able to store and find memories \n\n\n\n\nCan all drugs modify the chemical makeup of the brain? \n\n\n\n\nWhat is happening in the brain when someone gets a headache \n \nA headache may feel like a pain inside your brain\, but it’s not. Most headaches begin in the many nerves of the muscles and blood vessels that surround your head\, neck\, and face. These pain-sensing nerves can be set off by stress\, muscle tension\, enlarged blood vessels\, and other triggers. Once activated\, the nerves send messages to the brain\, and it can feel like the pain is coming from deep within your head. \nLEARN MORE: What To Do When Your Head Hurts \nLEARN MORE: NIH Headache Information Page \n\n\n\n\nWould sending electrical signals to certain parts of the brain move certain parts of the body? \n\n\n\n\nHow much do we truly know about the human brain? \n\n\n\n\nWhen you take a hallucinogenic drug what’s going on in your brain? Some say they see things when they take HD. Is the brain causing that? \n \nA defining quality of any psychedelic is its ability to bind to and “activate” (i.e.\, act as an “agonist” at) the 5HT-2A receptor (one of fifteen different receptors for the neurotransmitter serotonin). \nLEARN MORE: Psychedelic Portland \n\n\n\n\nCould we change the way our bodies combat sickness? To aim towards drugs being the main defender\, and to lower the number of symptoms you will have with a sickness\, like not having a runny nose if you catch a cold. \n\n\n\n\nSEE WHAT WE’VE DONE IN CLATSOP COUNTY BEFORE\nNorth Coast Noggins: Art\, Alevins & Brains!\n \nAccumbens in Astoria

Most headaches begin in the many nerves of the muscles and blood vessels that surround your head\, neck\, and face. These pain-sensing nerves can be set off by stress\, muscle tension\, enlarged blood vessels\, and other triggers. Once activated\, the nerves send messages to the brain\, and it can feel like the pain is coming from deep within your head. \nLEARN MORE: What To Do When Your Head Hurts \nLEARN MORE: NIH Headache Information Page \n\n\n\n\nWould sending electrical signals to certain parts of the brain move certain parts of the body? \n\n\n\n\nHow much do we truly know about the human brain? \n\n\n\n\nWhen you take a hallucinogenic drug what’s going on in your brain? Some say they see things when they take HD. Is the brain causing that? \n \nA defining quality of any psychedelic is its ability to bind to and “activate” (i.e.\, act as an “agonist” at) the 5HT-2A receptor (one of fifteen different receptors for the neurotransmitter serotonin). \nLEARN MORE: Psychedelic Portland \n\n\n\n\nCould we change the way our bodies combat sickness? To aim towards drugs being the main defender\, and to lower the number of symptoms you will have with a sickness\, like not having a runny nose if you catch a cold.

Alex Heinrich\, PSU \n \nStudent Questions!\nIn what part of the brain do you get thoughts? \nHow does COVID-19 affect your brain? \n \n“While primarily a respiratory disease\, COVID-19 can also lead to neurological problems. The first of these symptoms might be the loss of smell and taste\, while some people also may later battle headaches\, debilitating fatigue\, and trouble thinking clearly\, sometimes referred to as “brain fog.” All of these symptoms have researchers wondering how exactly the coronavirus that causes COVID-19\, SARS-CoV-2\, affects the human brain. In search of clues\, researchers at NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) have now conducted the first in-depth examinations of human brain tissue samples from people who died after contracting COVID-19. Their findings…suggest that COVID-19’s many neurological symptoms are likely explained by the body’s widespread inflammatory response to infection and associated blood vessel injury—not by infection of the brain tissue itself.” \nLEARN MORE: Taking a Closer Look at COVID-19’s Effects on the Brain \nHow do you become unconscious when you sleep? \nHow did they get the brains \n \nLEARN MORE: A BioGift of Brains \nHow long does it take (or repetition) for your brain to remember something? \nHow is the human brain different from a dog brain? \n \n“…we can see from an MRI of a dog brain that even though it is smaller than a human brain\, all of the same basic structures are present. This is true for large regions like the cerebral cortex and the cerebellum\, as well as for smaller\, subcortical structures like the brainstem\, hippocampus\, amygdala\, and basal ganglia\, which have important roles in movement\, memory\, and emotion. \n \n“Dogs also have large olfactory systems\, comprising about two percent of the total brain weight (compared to 0.03 percent in humans). Where dogs fall short is in the cortex. Apart from being smaller\, there are fewer folds\, which means less surface area and fewer neurons. The frontal lobe\, which in humans occupies the front third of the brain\, is relegated to a paltry ten percent in dogs…” \nLEARN MORE: Decoding the Canine Mind \n“While ferret\, mongoose and cat have increasingly larger cortices (3.1 g\, 9.3 g\, and 24.2 g) with increasingly more neurons (39 million\, 116 million\, and 250 million neurons\, respectively)\, we find that the lion has approximately as many neurons in the cerebral cortex as the average found in dogs\, ca. 500 million neurons\, despite a twice larger cortex in the lion than in the dogs…Remarkably\, of all the individuals we analyzed\, the one with the most neurons in the cerebral cortex was a golden retriever dog (627 million neurons)\, followed by the lion (545 million neurons)\, one of the raccoons (512 million neurons)\, the striped hyena (495 million neurons)\, a smaller dog of unspecified breed (429 million neurons) and a second raccoon individual (395 million neurons).“ \nLEARN MORE: Dogs Have the Most Neurons\, Though Not the Largest Brain \nWhat happens in your brain when you learn something new?\nwhat’s the worst thing that could happen to the brain\nAre you your brain or are you you \nWhen did we start wondering how the brain worked? \n \nLEARN MORE: Why Study the History of Neuroscience? \nWhat happens in your brain when you associate color with flavor?
