Seit Kurzem hat unser sechsjähriger Sohn die Doppeldiagnose Autismus und ADHS. Wie kamen wir zur Diagnose ADHS? Was waren typische Anzeichen für uns als Eltern, die den Verdacht aufbrachten, dass unser Sohn auch ADHS hat? Wie lief die Diagnose für ADHS generell ab? Und wie geht es uns jetzt, mit dieser Doppeldiagnose. Was ändert sich dadurch, für unseren Sohn, aber auch für uns als Familie? Und: ich spreche in dieser Folge auch offen und ehrlich über das meiner Meinung nach sehr wichtige Thema ADHS und Medikamente für Kinder, das von zu vielen Menschen aus Angst vor zu viel Gegenwind totgeschwiegen wird. *Über die Erstdiagnose Autismus gibt es eine eigene Podcast-Folge "Unser Sohn ist Autist", die im März 2023 erschien und die ihr hier hören könnt *Rabattcodes und Infos zu Werbepartnern findest Du hier: https://linktr.ee/hibabypodcastQuellen zu Zahlen und Fakten in dieser Folge: https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/151/2/e2022056594/190525/Prevalence-and-Disparities-in-the-Detection-of?autologincheck=redirected McKechnie DGJ, O'Nions E, Dunsmuir S, Petersen I.

En el episodio de hoy, hablo de un tema que se escapa un poco de la temática habitual del podcast. Este episodio es una “curiosidad de la neurociencia”; una indagación en un tema que desde hace muchos años me ha llamado la atención. Se trata de los savants. Los savants son personas que bien porque han nacido con problemas en el desarrollo o por una lesión cerebral adquirida, son capaces de tener habilidades extraordinarias. Parece ser que la mitad de los savant son autistas, uno de cada diez autistas es savant y uno de cada mil individuos que tienen dañado el cerebro o padecen retraso mental. Son personas que, sin necesidad de entrenamiento, aprendizaje o interés previo, tienen unas habilidades increíbles, sobre todo en el campo de la música, el cálculo o el dibujo.

K., Borden, S., Oja, L., Lane, K., Lotz, R., Lotz, H., Chowdhury, R., Joy, S., Arduini, B. L., Butler, D. C., Miller, M., Baron, H., Sandhof, C. A., Silva, M. C., Haggarty, S. J., Karch, C. M., Geschwind, D. H., Goate, A. M., Temple, S. Abstract: Cerebral cortical-enriched organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are valuable models for studying neurodevelopment, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic development. However, recognized limitations include the high variability of organoids across hPSC donor lines and experimental replicates. We report a 96-slitwell method for efficient, scalable, reproducible cortical organoid production. When hPSCs were cultured with controlled-release FGF2 and an SB431542 concentration appropriate for their TGFBR1/ALK5 expression level, organoid cortical patterning and reproducibility were significantly improved. Well-patterned organoids included 16 neuronal and glial subtypes by single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), frequent neural progenitor rosettes and robust BCL11B+ and TBR1+ deep layer cortical neurons at 2 months by immunohistochemistry. In contrast, poorly-patterned organoids contain mesendoderm-related cells, identifiable by negative QC markers including COL1A2. Using this improved protocol, we demonstrate increased sensitivity to study the impact of different MAPT mutations from patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), revealing early changes in key metabolic pathways.

M., Fernandez Garcia-Agudo, L., Taschenberger, H., Brose, N., Geschwind, D., Nave, K.-A., Ehrenreich, H. Abstract: Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) has potent procognitive effects,hematopoiesis-independent, but underlying mechanisms and physiological role of brain-expressed EPO have remained obscure. Here, we provide encyclopedic transcriptional hippocampal profiling of mice treated with rhEPO. Based on ~108,000 single nuclei, we unmask multiple pyramidal lineages with their comprehensive molecular signatures. By temporal profiling and gene regulatory analysis, we build a developmental trajectory of CA1 pyramidal neurons derived from multiple predecessor lineages and elucidate gene regulatory networks underlying their fate determination. With EPO as tool, we discover novel populations of newly differentiating pyramidal neurons, overpopulating to ~200% upon rhEPO with upregulation of genes crucial for neurodifferentiation, dendrite growth, synaptogenesis, memory formation, and cognition. Using a Cre-based approach to visually distinguish pre-existing from newly formed pyramidal neurons for patch-clamp recordings, we learn that rhEPO treatment differentially affects excitatory and inhibitory inputs. Our findings provide mechanistic insight into how EPO modulates neuronal functions and networks Copy rights belong to original authors.

C., Geschwind, D., Höke, A., Gomez-Sanchez, J. A., Schilling, B., Campisi, J., Court, F. A. Abstract: After peripheral nerve injuries, successful axonal growth and functional recovery requires the reprogramming of Schwann cells into a reparative phenotype, a process dependent on the activation of the transcription factor c-Jun. Nevertheless, axonal regeneration is greatly impaired in aged organisms or after chronic denervation leading to important clinical problems. This regenerative failure has been associated to a diminished c-Jun expression by Schwann cells, but whether the inability of these cells to maintain a repair state is associated to the transition into a phenotype inhibitory for axonal growth, has not been evaluated so far. We find that repair Schwann cells transitions into a senescent phenotype, characterized by diminished c-Jun expression and secretion of factor inhibitory for axonal regeneration in both aging and chronic denervation. In both conditions, elimination of senescent Schwann cells by systemic senolytic drug treatment or genetic targeting improves nerve regeneration and functional recovery in aging and chronic denervation, associated with an upregulation of c-Jun expression and a decrease in nerve inflammation. This work provides the first characterization of senescent Schwann cells and their impact over axonal regeneration in aging and chronic denervation, opening new avenues for enhancing regeneration, and functional recovery after peripheral nerve injuries.

Das Trio Infernale begibt sich in die Wälder voller Emotionen, Ränkespielen und natürlich gibt es auch auf die Nuss. Spätestens wenn die Kerleim Cast von irgendwelchen Inseln voller Frauen schwadronieren und unser Held einen auf Wind macht. Dass es dabei natürlich höchst mayestetisch bleibt, dafür sorgt das Wuxia-Genre im Alleingang.. Kommt mit uns in eine wundervolle Abkehr vom Actionallerlei. Liebe und Action, selten passte es so formvollendet wie hier. Das Schallwellenglockenspiel haben wir aber alle drei eher wenig kapiert, ist aber egal, weil schön!! Viel Spaß!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.10.511639v1?rss=1 Authors: Patel, K. S., Tessema, K. K., Kawaguchi, R., Alvarado, A. G., Muthukrishnan, S. D. D., Hagiwara, A., Swarup, V., Liau, L. M., Wang, A. C., Yong, W., Geschwind, D., Nakano, I., Goldman, S., Everson, R., Ellingson, B., Kornblum, H. Abstract: Both therapy for and molecular investigations into high-grade glioma largely focus on the contrast-enhancing (CE) portion of the tumor. However, given the invasive nature of glioma, residual tumor cells responsible for recurrence exist in the peripheral, non-enhancing (NE) region. Single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-sequencing and subsequent bioinformatics analyses offer a flexible and scalable framework that allows powerful examination of tumor and non-tumor cell subpopulations across various contexts. In this study, we used pre-operative magnetic resonance images to prospectively identify biopsy targets in the CE region and NE sites that lie 0.5-2.0 cm beyond the CE edge from multiple pathologically and molecularly distinct recurrent high-grade gliomas and leveraged single-nucleus RNA-sequencing to generate over 30,000 individual RNA profiles. We analyzed multiple glioma cellular states, non-malignant cell types, and cell-cell interaction patterns, all of which revealed both conserved and patient-specific features. Recurrent gliomas recapitulate the previously reported cellular heterogeneity of primary gliomas. Systematic comparison of the CE and NE regions identified altered composition of malignant and non-malignant cell compartments, as well as cell type- and patient-specific differences in gene expression and pathway activation profiles. We established that NE regions up to 1.5 cm beyond the CE edge contain up to 60% infiltrating malignant cells, of which a significant subset are actively proliferating. These NE glioma cells are preferentially in OPC-like and NPC-like rather than MES-like cellular states. NE cells have altered gene expression patterns, with specific upregulation of certain genes like DGKB and OPHN1 relative to CE regions. We built an integrated atlas of cell-cell communication networks among malignant and non-malignant subpopulations in the two regions of glioma and identified a significantly rewired connectome in the NE regions of all tumors. With respect to tumor-immune interactions, NE regions had decreased numbers of T cells and myeloid cells, along with decreased HLA:CD8 signaling between glioma and immune cells, suggesting decreased immune detection and cell mediated immunity. Furthermore, our findings suggest glioma cells in NE regions maintain interactions with non-malignant neural tissue. Overall, we characterize the NE region in all pathological subtypes of recurrent high-grade glioma and identify possible mechanisms driving progression and recurrence, as well as areas of future therapeutic study.

I Want to Believe the Podcast – S5 2022 Halloween Special – Death and Exorcism Open: Exorcism of Emily Rose Trailer | Closing song: Eyes Without A Face by Billy Idol Clips throughout episode: Buzzfeed Unsolved Welcome to the I Want to Believe podcast and our Halloween special for 2022! A familiar voice is back with us for the spooky season, friend to the show, Valerie Lofaso. The Exorcism of Emily Rose was a 2005 horror movie about a young woman who had become possessed by several demons. The movie was based on true events… in this episode, we'll be sharing those events with you. Anneliese Michel, the woman that Emily Rose was based on, grew up devoutly Catholic in Bavaria, West Germany in the 1960s. When she was 16, one day at school she blacked out and was seen walking around in dazed state and unresponsive to those who approached her. Though Anneliese did not remember what happened, friends and family told her of the trance-like state she had been in. Little did they know, this was only the beginning. After numerous exorcisms of Anneliese ended in tragedy, her parents and priests involved were charged with her death. Was it temporal lobe epilepsy and Geschwind syndrome as the prosecution presented? Or was it actual demonic possession, which the defense argued?

W., Seidlitz, J., Ronan, L., Valk, S. L., Mallard, T. T., Grotzinger, A. D., Romero-Garcia, R., Baron-Cohen, S., Geschwind, D. H., Lancaster, M., Murray, G. K., Gandal, M. J., Alexander-Bloch, A., Won, H., Martin, H. C., Bullmore, E. T., Bethlehem, R. A. I. Abstract: Our understanding of the genetic architecture of the human cerebral cortex is limited both in terms of the diversity of brain structural phenotypes and the anatomical granularity of their associations with genetic variants. Here, we conducted genome-wide association meta-analysis of 13 structural and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging derived cortical phenotypes, measured globally and at 180 bilaterally averaged regions in 36,843 individuals from the UK Biobank and the ABCD cohorts. These phenotypes include cortical thickness, surface area, grey matter volume, and measures of folding, neurite density, and water diffusion. We identified 4,349 experiment-wide significant loci associated with global and regional phenotypes. Multiple lines of analyses identified four genetic latent structures and causal relationships between surface area and some measures of cortical folding. These latent structures partly relate to different underlying gene expression trajectories during development and are enriched for different cell types. We also identified differential enrichment for neurodevelopmental and constrained genes and demonstrate that common genetic variants associated with surface area and volume specifically are associated with cephalic disorders. Finally, we identified complex inter-phenotype and inter-regional genetic relationships among the 13 phenotypes which reflect developmental differences among them. These analyses help refine the role of common genetic variants in human cortical development and organisation. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Geschwind wie der Wind soll das Internet in Duderstadt werden. Die Stadt hatte erst kürzlich bekannt gegeben, dass die Arbeiten im Frühjahr starten sollen. Und auch sonst gibt es einige Baustellen in der Eichsfeldstadt zu beackern. Allen voran dürfte die Pandemie weiterhin das bestimmende Thema sein und den Haushalt diktieren. Über all diese Themen hat Steffen Hackbarth heute Morgen mit Bürgermeister Thorsten Feike gesprochen.

I met Miwha at a local meetup here in Denver, and we started talking about her job, how she got that job, and what led her down the path of web development. She told me that she used to have her own pastry baking business but a series of events led to her joining a coding boot camp, and then getting a full-time dev job soon after that. Then, as we were planning this episode, she announced that she had just landed yet another job! So for this episode, Miwha shares her story with us so that 1) if anyone listening is thinking of transitioning to the IT industry, they can see that it's absolutely possible, and 2) so that we can get practical tips on how to land a job in the IT industry and in present times.

In this part of our series tracing the work of this significant rose breeder, we ask experts in Europa Rosarium, Sangerhausen, Germany, Rosenkultivarium in Baden, Austria, and Technical University in Zvolen, how to identify the origin of the rose.

Schön, dass Du wieder einschaltet hast! Diese Folge möchte ich Dir sehr ans Herz legen, weil es um eines der wichtigsten Dinge in unserem Leben geht: die Liebe zu uns selbst. Mit Alice spreche ich über Rituale, die Dich stärken und Deine Energie anheben. In dieser Folge erfährst Du: - warum sich durch Dankbarkeit ALLES in Deinem Leben verändert - welche Kraft in täglichen Selbstliebe-Ritualen liegt - welche Rolle die Kommunikation mit Dir selbst spielt - warum Aufschreiben so wichtig ist - was es mit der Herzensbox auf sich hat Mein heutiger Interviewgast ist Alice Geschwind. Alice ist Gründerin und Erfinderin der Herzensbox. Die Herzensbox ist eine von ihr persönlich entwickelte Starterbox für mehr tägliche Selbstliebe. Ihre Vision ist es ihren Kunden mit der Box von Herz zu Herz die Eintrittskarte zu einem Leben in Fülle zu geben. Sie zeigt Dir, wie Du durch einfache, kleine Handlungen im Alltag Dein Leben von Grund auf verändern kannst. Durch all die Dinge, die sie in der Herzensbox zusammengestellt hat, hat sich ihr Leben radikal verändert. Sie war früher nicht der Mensch, der ich sie heute ist. Als sie morgens das Haus verlassen hat, hat ich sie sich ausschließlich auf das Negative fokussiert. Das hat sich durch ihren ganzen Tag und durch die gesamte Woche gezogen. Heute ist es das komplette Gegenteil. Sie hat mit viel Liebe die Inhalte der Herzensbox zusammengestellt und die Dinge so zusammengefasst, wie sie ihr am Anfang geholfen haben. Neben der Herzensbox begleitet sie Menschen im Herzenscoaching dabei in die tiefe Liebe für sich und das Leben zu kommen. Wenn Dir diese Folge gefallen hat, dann freue ich mich, wenn Du sie teilst, den Podcast abonnierst und eine Rezension auf iTunes hinterlässt.

Dr. Daniel Geschwind Bio: Dr. Geschwind is the Gordon and Virginia MacDonald Distinguished Professor of Human Genetics, Neurology and Psychiatry at UCLA. In his capacity as Senior Associate Dean and Associate Vice Chancellor of Precision Health, he leads the Institute for Precision Health (IPH) at UCLA, where he oversees campus precision health initiatives. In his laboratory, his group has pioneered the application of systems biology methods in neurologic and psychiatric disease, with a focus on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and neurodegenerative conditions. Dr. Geschwind is a pioneer in the transcriptomic and functional genomic analyses of the nervous system. His laboratory showed that gene co-expression has a reproducible network structure that can be used to understand neurobiological mechanisms in health and disease. He led the first studies to define the molecular pathology of autism and several other major psychiatric disorders, and has made major contributions to defining the genetic basis of autism. He demonstrated the utility of using gene network approaches to discover new pathways involved in neurodegeneration and new approaches to facilitate neural regeneration.  More recently, his laboratory demonstrated how knowledge of 3-dimensional chromatin structure can be used to understand the functional impact of human genetic variation. Dr. Geschwind has trained over 70 graduate students and post-doctoral research fellows, and is among the highest cited scientists in neurology, neuroscience and genetics (H index > 140). In addition to serving on several scientific advisory boards, including the Faculty of 1000 Medicine, the Scientific Advisory Board for the Allen Institute for Brain Science, the NIMH Advisory Council and the NIH Council of Councils, he currently serves on the editorial boards of the journals Cell, Neuron and Science. He has received several awards for his laboratory's work is an elected Member of the American Association of Physicians and the National Academy of Medicine.   What can big data and genomics offer the individual regarding medical treatment? Dr. Daniel Geschwind is here to explain exome sequencing data analysis as well as how this field might expand and progress. Listen and learn What makes up our genome, how to understand the terms for each part, like exon, intron, and exome, and what parts are effected epigenetically; Why genomics testing still focuses on that 2 to 3 percent of the genome called the exome that codes for proteins; and How sequencing will broaden and change, making preventative care that much more effective for certain patients and more. Dr. Daniel Geschwind is the Gordon and Virginia MacDonald Distinguished Professor in Neurology, Psychiatry, and Human Genetics; the Senior Associate Dean and Associate Vice Chancellor for Precision Health at UCLA; and the director of the Center for Autism Research and Treatment at the Semel Institute at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. He opens up the world of genomics for listeners, explaining why an exome sequencing test is the center of precision medicine currently. He explains how the exome is composed of the 3% of your genome that actually codes for protein sequences. What's the rest of the genome up to? Well, scientists believe that remainder of your genome is busy regulating those sequences, determining levels and turning gene expressions on and off.  He explains how scientists use the exome sequencing process. In fact, the majority of people who say they've been sequenced mean, in fact, that their exome has been sequenced. Whole genome sequencing costs about three times as much but offers scientists the same information at this point. However, he thinks this will soon change. As the exome sequencing project continues and our knowledge accumulates, the benefits will increase from whole genome sequencing. The costs are likely to drop as well.  Once it gets inexpensive enough and we have sequenced hundreds of millions of patients with a variety of disorders, we will have much better predictive power.  For more information, he suggests UCLA's Precision Health website.

G., Nakanishi, N., Geschwind, D., Chan, S. F., Ambasudhan, R., Lipton, S. A. Abstract: MEF2C has been shown to be a critical transcription factor for neurodevelopment, whose loss-of-function mutation in humans results in MEF2C haploinsufficiency syndrome (MHS), a severe form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)/intellectual disability (ID). Here, we use patient hiPSC-derived cerebrocortical neurons and cerebral organoids to characterize MHS deficits. Unexpectedly, we found an aberrant micro-RNA-mediated gliogenesis pathway that contributes to decreased neurogenesis. We also demonstrate network-level hyperexcitability in neurons, as evidenced by excessive synaptic and extrasynaptic activity contributing to excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) imbalance. Notably, the extrasynaptic NMDA receptor antagonist, NitroSynapsin, corrects this aberrant electrical activity associated with abnormal phenotypes. During neurodevelopment, MEF2C regulates many ASD-associated gene networks suggesting that our approach may lead to personalized therapy for multiple forms of ASD.

J., Bennett, J., Hogrefe, C. E., Maddock, R. J., Gandal, M. J., Geschwind, D. H., Schumann, C. M., Van de Water, J., McAllister, A. K., Carter, C. S., Styner, M. A., Amaral, D. G., Bauman, M. D. Abstract: Background: Human epidemiologic studies have implicated exposure to infectious or inflammatory insults during gestation in the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders. Rodent models of maternal immune activation (MIA) have identified the maternal immune response as the critical link between maternal infection and aberrant brain and behavior development in offspring. The nonhuman primate MIA model provides an opportunity to maximize the translational utility of this model in a species more closely related to humans. Methods: Here we evaluate the effects of MIA on brain and behavioral development in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta). A modified form of the viral mimic, Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (PolyIC), was delivered to pregnant rhesus monkeys (n=14) in the late first trimester to stimulate a maternal immune response. Control dams received saline injections at the same gestational time points (n=10) or were untreated (n=4). Results: MIA-treated dams exhibited a strong immune response as indexed by transient increases in sickness behavior, temperature and inflammatory cytokines. MIA-exposed offspring developed species typical milestones and demonstrate subtle changes in early in social development. However, magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated significant gray matter volume reductions in prefrontal and frontal cortices at 6, 12 and 24 months of age. Conclusions: These findings provide new insights into the emergence of neuropathology in MIA-exposed primates and have implications for the pathophysiology of human psychiatric disorders associated with maternal gestational infection.

Ich hatte ein unglaublich inspirierendes und tiefgründiges Gespräch mit der lieben Alice. Sie erzählt von ihrer Transformation und wie sie es schafft sich immer wieder zu verändern und weiterzuentwickeln. Lange Zeit war Alice dem Leben gegenüber negativ eingestellt, oft ängstlich oder traurig - bis sie irgendwann gemerkt hat, so kann es nicht weitergehen. Ihre Transformation ist auch ihrem Umfeld nicht verborgen geblieben und sie wurde immer wieder auf ihre Veränderung angesprochen. Daraus hat sich dann sogar eine Business Idee entwickelt. Wie sprechen darüber: wie sie es geschafft hat von Angst, Traurigkeit & Negativität zu einem glücklichen, selbstbestimmten und dankbaren Leben warum Selbstliebe und Dankbarkeit so unglaublich machtvoll sind wie du von der Opferrolle in die Eigenverantwortung kommen kannst von der Vision zur Umsetzung - die ersten Schritte in deinem Business warum unser Umfeld so entscheidend ist und so vieles mehr Heute ist Alice Gründerin der Herzensbox, die Eintrittskarte zu einem glücklichen und selbstbestimmten Leben in Fülle.

There was a movie that came out in 2005 called The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Very few people know that this movie was actually based on the real life of a German girl named Anneliese Michel. Ann Elisabeth, AKA Anneliese, Michel was born September 21st, 1952 in Leiblfing, Bavaria, West Germany to parents Josef and Anna. Anneliese had some psychiatric issues that included seizures as well as events in which she would black out and walk around in a trance-like state. After years of medical assistance in a psychiatric hospital, Anneliese's family and friends came to the conclusion that she was under demonic possession and sought help from the Catholic Church. After 67 exorcism sessions, Anneliese was finally released of the demons that were inside of her. Unfortunately, however, Anneliese died in her home on July 1st, 1976. Her death caused a lot of backlash against her family as well as the priest that performed the exorcisms, causing this case to be one of the few exorcisms to go to court. Was she under demonic possession, or was it just her Geschwind syndrome epilepsy?

A., Pochareddy, S., Li, Y., Dracheva, S., Sestan, N., Akbarian, S., Geschwind, D. Abstract: Cellular heterogeneity in the human brain obscures the identification of robust cellular regulatory networks. Here we integrated genome-wide chromosome conformation in purified neurons and glia with transcriptomic and enhancer profiles to build the gene regulatory landscape of two major cell classes in the human brain. Within glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons, we were able to link enhancers to their cognate genes via neuronal chromatin interaction profiles. These cell-type-specific regulatory landscapes were then leveraged to gain insight into the cellular etiology of several brain disorders. We found that Alzheimer's disease (AD)-associated epigenetic dysregulation was linked to neurons and oligodendrocytes, whereas genetic risk factors for AD highlighted microglia as a central cell type, suggesting that different cell types may confer risk to the disease via different genetic mechanisms. Moreover, neuronal subtype-specific annotation of genetic risk factors for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder identified shared (parvalbumin-expressing interneurons) and distinct cellular etiology (upper layer neurons for bipolar and deeper layer projection neurons for schizophrenia) between these two closely related psychiatric illnesses. Collectively, these findings shed new light on cell-type-specific gene regulatory networks in brain disorders. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

“Creativity is finding unity in what appears to be diversity,” says Dr. Kenneth Heilman. Author of Creativity and the Brain, Heilman, a distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Florida, explains where creativity may reside in the brain, how it differs from raw intelligence, and how creative people actually think. Heilman has been fascinated by creativity since childhood. Almost killed by meningitis as an infant in 1938, he was saved by a doctor who had heard of a new treatment and tried it on Heilman. “Creativity has reduced a huge amount of suffering,” Heilman says. TRANSCRIPT: Intro: 0:01 Inventors and their inventions. Welcome to Radio Cade the podcast from the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville, Florida. The museum is named after James Robert Cade, who invented Gatorade in 1965. My name is Richard Miles, we’ll introduce you to inventors and the things that motivate them, we’ll learn about their personal stories, how their inventions work and how their ideas get from the laboratory to the marketplace. Richard Miles: 0:38 Creativity in the brain, where can it be found? How does it differ from intelligence? And what are creative people like? I’m your host Richard Miles, today, My guest is Dr. Kenneth Heilman, distinguished professor emeritus at the University of Florida and author of surprise, a book called “Creativity and the Brain”. Welcome to Radio Cade Ken. Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 0:56 Thank you for inviting me. Richard Miles: 0:58 So Ken, like many of our guests on this show, you spent your career in Florida, but you were born in Brooklyn. So, the first thing I gotta ask is, Dodgers or Yankees? Let’s get that out of the way first. Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 1:09 Brooklyn Dodgers. But when they moved to LA, I stopped being a professional sports fan. Richard Miles: 1:16 So you didn’t switch to another team? You just gave up entirely on sports? Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 1:19 Well, you know, here was a team that was tremendously supportive and actually started integration with Jackie Robinson and what happened because they offered him a free stadium in the park and Patriot, the hell with the fans that have been watching him for all these years, we’re going to LA and I said, look, I don’t move for businesses.The hell with this I’m not watching this anymore. Richard Miles: 1:42 And that was a precursor of things, the calmest teams to abandon their cities, to go to other markets and so on during the expansion years. Okay. Well, now that we’ve got that most important question out of the way, let’s sort of dive straight into our topic. As you know, Phoebe and I, have always been interested in the neuroscience of creativity and I think the first time we met, probably about 2010, it was to get your ideas and some other folks at the University of Florida, we’re planning a big exhibit on the neuroscience of creativity. And so we needed to get smart, and we knew that you were one of the folks to talk to. So creativity is one of those terms that gets thrown around a lot and sometimes it’s defined in different ways. So why don’t I start by asking you to define creativity from your point of view, and then how does it differ from intelligence? But let’s start with that. Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 2:25 Okay. First of all, when I was in high school, I took a public speaking course, I got to seen it, but your teachings are remember, is thought by definitions and tell people how important it is. So we’ll start with the definitions. It depends where you look up creativity for different definitions. If you go to websites, for example, it says productive and mall by originality. So according to them, if I sat down in front of a word processor and randomly hit keys for days and days and days, it would be creative because it would be original. Nobody probably would hit the same keys and if I did it long enough, it would be productive, but you wouldn’t feel this would be creative. I think the best definition, but the same complete by Banowsky who said, creativity is fine in unity in what appears to be diversity. The only problem with this definition it is no mention of originality or productivity. So I think in the book and during lectures, when I define creativity is the ability to discover, understand, develop and express in a systematic fashion, novel, orderly relationships said , in other words, finding the thread that unites. Now, a lot of people in other definitions state, it must have value, and I never understood why they put it in and sure, great artists, and you never sell your painting and it burns or something. It doesn’t mean that it wasn’t creative. Even now. It has no value. So value, I’m not sure really defines it . It defines it and far as business people, but not as far as people who produced creative products. Now let me tell you about the second part. If you look at my yearbook at high school, all the way back then he says Ken Heilman wants to do medical research. And what happened when I was a little boy, I looked down at my arm and I noticed I had a scar right near the front on the top and I asked my mother, what is that mom? She said, oh, when you were an infant, you came down with meningococcal meningitis. And this was 1938 or 1939, and the doctor said we have no cure for it. He’s going to die. It turns out this doctor actually had an appointment that Columbia University and you were working on a new drug called sulfur drugs . And he actually lifted some out of the laboratory poets and my house did a cut down. That’s what the scar was for, gave it to me, and here it’s 79, 80 years later and I’m still here. And that really brought to mind how important creativity is. You inclined have suffered with diseases and so many other problems and when you think about all the wonderful things that we’ve done, when used appropriately, creativity has reduced a huge amount of suffering . So that’s why it’s always been a very important topic to me. Richard Miles: 5:31 So can you write it? Creativity is closely linked to raw intelligence, but it’s not quite the same thing? Is that correct? Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 5:38 Well, let me talk about intelligence and creativity. Okay. First of all, let me start by saying in general, when I’ve written about this, I talk about three major steps in the creative process. The first one is preparation, and that’s learning all the skills and knowledge that you need to be creative. The second one, I call creative innovation and that’s coming up with the creative ideas. And the third stage of course is production. Now I’m not going to discuss that at all, because that depends upon the domain of creativity. But what about IQ Willem , as you probably know, okay. With IQ, when initially it was early on used people call people who have IQ over 130, 140 geniuses. And genius implies that you’re tremendously creative. And it turns out there was a psychologist, I think at Stanford, whose name was Terman . And what Termin did was gave all the students and around San Francisco and all that area an IQ test that he developed called the Stanford Benet. And then he followed all these people along and it turns out some were very successful, some or just usual, but there were no Nobel prize winners that was in his genius class, but it turns out that there was two Nobel prize winners whose IQs were too low to be in term as geniuses that reached and got the Nobel prize. So one was Shockley who invented the transistor and you know what that’s meant to our world . And another one was Alvarez who helped develop the radar. They both won Nobel prizes, but they didn’t have IQs high enough to be included in terms of geniuses. So in general, people found out that later on, there was not a direct relationship between intelligence and creativity. And in general, a lot of people who’ve written about this say, you just need to be intelligent enough to learn the skills and knowledge in the creative domain that you’re doing. People have a cutoff of about 110 or 120 , but there is no direct relationship. Richard Miles: 7:53 So it’s more of a threshold factor, right? That once you reach that threshold of somewhere between 110 and 120, there’s not a correlation that the smarter you are, the more creative you are. Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 8:02 No Relationship. Now, it turns out that special talents are important. They’re very, very important. But of course, the IQ test doesn’t test special talents. So way back in the 1700s, there was a philosopher, Gall, who was actually the founder of phrenology, but Gall had two very important postulates. One postulate was that different parts of the brain perform different actions. And the second postulate was the better developed this module was, or this specific form better develop better at work. Now, what happened was Gall, was aware that our skull grew depends upon brain growth, so we said, oh, if we measured the skull, maybe we can tell about people and what they are capable of doing. The problem with that is it became a pseudoscience and all these people were making all these crazy suggestions, but it turns out a neurologist in France in the mid- 1800s, Paul Roca, heard a student of Gall’s talking about the importance for the frontal lobes and speech and he had a patient in the hospital who had a stroke sometime before was actually dying of, I think, tetanus and the patient had trouble speaking. He could understand, but he couldn’t get out the speech. The patient died and sure enough, he had a lesion in his frontal lobe. And then, in the second paper, Paul Broca examined eight people who had problems with speech from strokes, all eight of them, they were right-handed and all eight of them had left hemisphere strokes. So that provided a positive finding that really in some way, supported Gall’s, hypothesis. And we know that the left hemisphere understands speech. One of my mentors or Norman, Geschwind looked at a huge amount of people’s brains at the auditory cortex in the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. And he found that the auditory cortex was actually bigger in most people in the left hemisphere, but even with great geniuses, sometimes their brains are different, but this hasn’t really been evaluated today. Richard Miles: 10:16 I just wanted to interject or ask a question about the role of the left hemisphere and at least the theory and how that contributes to creativity. Cause I remember in your book, which came out in 2010, it came out. I remember you described a number of what to me were surprising associations with higher creativity, including, for instance, being lefthanded, epilepsy, having dyslexia, being slow, and learning to speak, mental illness. And if I understood correctly, the general theory sort of connecting those was a suppression of, or damage to the left hemisphere actually allowed the right hemisphere of the brain more license, I guess and that may contribute to creativity. Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 10:57 You’re jumping ahead a little bit. Okay. There have been studies for example, by Miller who’s out in San Francisco, he looked at some people who had a degenerative disease, which mainly occurred in her left hemisphere and their artistic skills actually became enhanced and what was interesting, there hasn’t been a lot of research looking at the true geniuses, but one of the interesting stories about Einstein’s brain, it turns out that Einstein said it would be okay if they took his brain out and they examined it. And he was in Princeton, New Jersey, and there was a pathologist whose name was Thomas Harvey. So Harvey took the brain out and after it was fixated, he took a knife and he cut it into small blocks, 240 little blocks, and sent it all around the world to different people. And he said, well, tell me why he was a genius. People said, wait a minute, you gave me this little block of brain, how can I do anything? Well, the only thing that Harvey did was good was he actually photographed Einstein’s brain after he took it out. And what was really interesting is that on the left hemisphere, there’s a big, big, Valley called Sylvian fissure . It’s a big Fissure and it separates the frontal lobe from the temporal lobe and the parietal lobe from the temporal lobe. And what was really interesting about Einstein’s brain is that his Sylvian fissure can go all the way back and it didn’t actually go into the prior lobe . On the left side, it stopped really, really early. And after seeing that people said, oh, that’s why he was a genius because he didn’t have these big a soul . So I go into his prior lobe and dividing up his neural networks. Well, it turns out that one of the things we know about evolution is that the more GRI and salsa you have, it means the more cortex you have, okay. And that’s not a sign of superiority, it’s a sign that something is wrong. And if you look at his history, that part of the brain is very important for language I’m his parents for them to the pediatrician when he was about three years old, because he was not talking. And the other thing that was really interesting about Einstein’s brain, if you look at it, is that his right pro lobe was huge. Now, in addition, Arnstein was also probably dyslexic again, that parietal lobes’ important. So the question comes up that his less evolved left temporal low , allow his right to actually be superior. And it turns out when you read all the Weinstein’s works about himself, he said he always used spatial reasoning. And could it be that he was such a genius because again, his left hemisphere did not develop, but his right hemisphere really alone . Now, what’s really important. Also, as we’re going to talk about the frontal lobes are very important for divergent thinking. And it turns out, as I mentioned, Einstein had a huge, huge right frontal lobe. Richard Miles: 14:20 Ken, when we talk about divergent and convergent thinking for listeners who aren’t exactly sure what we mean by that, convergent thinking is when there’s one or a couple of right answers and you’re honing in on that right answer to a given problem and divergent thinking is when there could be a range of different types of solutions to a problem. One sort of looking in the other one sorta looking out. Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 14:41 Let me talk a little bit about that because the very first step in innovation to creative process is disengagement. What do I mean by disengagement? You have say, hey, this doesn’t explain your work, this is not the truth. And maybe one of the best examples of this is Copernicus who said , hey, wait a minute, this doesn’t make sense that will all revolving around the earth. Okay, It has to be other possibilities. Could it be that we’re revolving around Mars? or the sun? And then after he disengaged from that, he went ahead and used divergent thinking other possibilities, and he came up with a concept, hey, it’s the sun. We’re revolving around the sun. So the first step in creativity is first of all, disengagement, I don’t believe that’s the way done. Maybe as a better explanation. No one’s ever painted this one. No one’s ever written music. Hey, here’s a good novel no one’s ever written about. So you disengage from what has been done and then from there, you do divergent thinking saying, hey, what are the alternatives? What are the possibilities? Now it turns out from the neurological perspective, one of my mentors, Derek Denny Brown, brain neurologist said that all animals can do two things. They can approach or they can avoid and he said, this is even true of humans. He said it turns out that the frontal lobes are the disengage void organ and the temporal and parietal lobes and several or more for approach. And we know that when people damage their frontal lobes , what they do is they separate. In other words, they can’t disengage. So if we give them a test where they have to organize cards in a certain way called the Wisconsin card sorting , once they get one successful one, that’s it they’ll keep on repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, something we call the separation. And one of the things that we use to look at divergent thinking is something we call the alternative uses test. What you say to the person, okay, I’m going to give you an object and what I want you to do is give me the different things that you can do with this object. But the more different it is, the more points you get. So for example, I give somebody a word, the brick, if they say, Oh, you use it to build houses, to build fireplaces, you get maybe a point for each of those. If you say, Oh, you know, you’ve been using it as a doorstop or a bookend you get two points. If you say, Oh, you know, what you can do is take it in the bathtub with you and after your bath, you can use it to rub off your calluses you get three points. So your idea is that’s a test of divergent thinking, but creativity. So a lot of tests of creativity are one that’s used a lot is called a Torrance test. Where they have both verbal and visual-spatial test of divergent thinking. But as I said, this is only the first sub-stage of innovation. Now, a very important thing about innovation and creativity is curiosity and risk-taking. And that’s very, very, very important. And the reason why so many people get into creative occupations is because to them, it’s very rewarding. So you go back and you go through history and you look at artists , composers, whenever even scientists and what happened was financially, they did terribly, but they wanted to create because it gave them great joy. And the best example is Galileo, who proved Copernicus thing. You know, what the Pope did to him? Prisoner the rest of his life. Richard Miles: 18:36 Yeah. Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 18:36 And it turns out they finally forgave him about 40 years ago because he showed that the sun was in the center of the universe. Now it turns out that there’s a place deep in brain called the ventral striatum. And in animals, if you stimulate that, the animal will keep on doing whatever it was doing. It’s very rewarding. And that whole system is reward system. And it’s also hooked up to the frontal lobe. And it turns out that excitability of that system is very important for the drive and motivation. It turns out that, that system was also abnormal in people who use drugs. And that’s why actually, you see your very high rate of drug abuse in people who do creative. So let me go to the third part of innovation. So we have to disengage and say, hey, it has to be better answer to divergent thinking in saying , hey, what is the possibilities create ? The next one, and the critical element is finding the thread that unites and William James was really one of the founders of current psychology and said the thread that unites unheard of, combinations of elements and subtle associations and spearmint, another famous person who said creative ideas result from the combination of ideas that have been previously isolated. And perhaps the best example is Einstein’s E equals MC squared. Prior to that time, they were isolated. So it’s very important in the creative mode that the neurons in the brain and these modules that we’re talking about, that they communicate with each other. And there’s some evidence that that’s true. So one of the great experiments showing about this communication was done by a neurosurgeon, Joe Bogan. And we talked about that the right hemisphere is important for visual-spatial and the left for verbal and we had an epileptic’s whose seizures can be controlled, so they spread from one hemisphere to the other. So they were going to cut the connection between the two hemispheres, the corpus callosum. So the seizures couldn’t go from one side to the other side, but Bogan was curious whether or not this would interfere with creativity. So they gave people the inkblot test and the inkblot tests , as you know, just has inkblots and you tell people, hey, what does this look like? And then you could judge the creativity. People like me say that looks like a moth that looks like a bat and a lot of people come up with very creative ideas. So he tested these people and then after the collosum was cut, they retested them. And the creativity was actually gone. Why? Because the visual system could not communicate with the verbal system makes sense? Richard Miles: 21:31 These various parts of the brain have to be constantly swapping information with each other. Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 21:35 And in fact, when you record from the brain, the brain waves, when people are in a creative mode, their brainwaves actually go ahead and have a certain type of coherence, like they’re all communicating with each other. So in general, one of the things we ask is how do we increase our networks? Well, one of the great stories about chemistry is about tequila. They knew benzene had six carbons, but they didn’t know how it was organized. So he was drowsy and off to sleep. When you imagine or dream about a snake, biting its own tail in gear , Hey, it’s a ring, but it turns out if you look at almost all great creative ideas, people were almost always in a state of relaxation. Isaac Newton, when he came up with calculus and he came up with the laws of gravity, there was an epidemic almost like ours , but I think it was a little bit worse and they closed up Cambridge university. It was a plague, and so, he went up to his mother’s farm and now we have plenty of time and he sat under the apple tree and thought about these problems and came up with these ideas. When he went back to Cambridge, after it was over, they gave all kinds of administrative jobs because she was so successful with the ideas, he didn’t come up with much after that. Einstein came up with most of his theories late at night, in the patent office, when it was very, very quiet. Even when you think about when you get a great idea, you yell Eureka! Well, it was Archimedes who came up with that idea, the concept of buoyancy and what was he doing? He was taking a bath, another relaxing thing. The person who actually improves the nerves theory of the brain was a spanish physician, Raymond Ecohall, and he wrote a book actually, about creativity, which is an interesting book. In the book he says, if a solution fails to appear yet, we feel success is around the corner, just try resting for awhile . Now, another thing that we know about creativity is actually that one of the most creative types of people are people who have depression and bipolar disorder tend to be very, very creative. And so we thought what’s going on here about sleep, relaxation, depression, all those kinds of things. Well, it turns out they’re all similar in that in our brain, we have a neurotransmitter called norepinephrine. And when you get norepinephrine what happens is your attention goes externally rather than internally. So for example, if you were a child and you were sitting in the back of your class, just dreaming, daydreaming all the time the teacher you would say, hey, take your son or daughter to the doctor and get em some medicine. They give medicines like Dexedrine. They increase no norepinephrine. What do people do then? They attend to the teacher, they don’t go into their own mind . If you’re going to be creative, guess what you have to do. What do depressant people do almost all day long? Go into their own mind . So we actually wanted to test that theory. I did this with a fellow David B. We gave normal participants, anagram tests . You take words and you mix up the letters and you see how long it takes them to get the word. And some of them, we gave a medication called Propranolol, it blocks norepinephrine . One of the bad side effects, it turns out, if people take it too long, is depression. And it turns out when we gave these people Propranolol, this beta blocker of norepinephrine, guess what? They performed much better. Then with another fellow George Gotcebing. We know that when we treated epileptics, we found that one of the ways of doing it is by simulating one of the cranial nerves called the Vegas nerve. And what the Vegas nerve does is actually increase the output of norepinephrine in the brain. And it’s interesting because now they also use it to treat depression and we gave creativity tests while we’re stimulating. And we weren’t stimulating and low and behold, what do we find out? That when we are stimulating him your creativity went down. So in general, it’s important to go ahead and be in a very relaxed state. Richard Miles: 26:07 It sounds like in general, there’s this obviously complex interplay between left and right hemisphere and various areas of the brain. But if I had to sum it up, it seems to me in your book, a part of what you do is say that these various conditions in left hemisphere, whether they’re through an accident of birth, or an injury, or a certain mental state, we’re in the inclination to search for that conversion type of thinking and free up, the more divergent type of thinking that may occur elsewhere in the brain. Who , for instance, like I’d signed that the example you gave of him being delayed in his speaking clearly didn’t make him not a creative person. It may been just the opposite. Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 26:44 This is important that when people get head injuries, the place that they injure most likely is the, frontal lobes and the connections. And the frontal lobes are the critical thing, both for divergent thinking and for motivation to continue working and to actually produce the creative object or thought or whatever it might be. So, no , that’s not generally true. There have been cases where people did get injured. Strokes, dementia that didn’t enhance the creativity, but remember in those people, they paid a price, they were disabled. So yes, in certain unusual cases, brain damage can enhance it. But in most people interferes with every stage, the first stage, the preparation it interferes with that, it interferes with divergent thinking and it also interferes with convergent thinking. Richard Miles: 27:36 Ken, if we could come back to the question earlier, how much of this is hardwired? And you’re basically born with this ability to do that creative type of thinking at a high level and how much of it could be taught in schools or taught in workplaces and people could sort of make themselves be more creative in general? Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 27:53 No, you’re asking a very, very important question that’s going on for centuries and centuries. In general, both are important. Nature is important. Brain development is important and nurture is important. And those two things have to go together. So for example, there’s the famous story in Romania. The leader during communist times wanted to increase the population. So we encouraged people to have more and more children and they couldn’t afford the children, so they put them into these units. They fed them, but they didn’t play with them, and they didn’t hug them. Guess what’s happened to these kids. They were all mentally impaired because they need that stimulation to have the brain growth. And this is true throughout life. So it’s not purely nature because nurture helps develop the brain. And that’s been shown, you need a combination of both, but I think it is very, very important growing up to be a stimulator as possible and to do as many new and novel things that possibly you can. One of the things that really troubles me about our educational system is that in general, they downplay the opportunity for children to be creative. So who are the first teachers they fire when you have economic problems? Richard Miles: 29:12 The music teacher and those folks, right? Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 29:14 The music teacher and the art teacher, And in general, how do they gauge how well somebody does, they gauge it by their knowledge. There’s no tests that they give em that really looks at their creativity. And none of the teachers in school talk about even how do we enhance this creativity? And it’s really a shame because it turns out there was a book written by Richard Florida, and in his book, he says something very, very, important which is coming to be true in the future. The success of different nations, societies is not going to be based on people’s labor, like labor in factories, and so forth. It’s going to be primarily based on creativity. America has been very, very fortunate because it was a country of immigration. And the people who came here said, Hey, wait, I don’t like what things are going on here, there must be a better way. And therefore, America has been a very creative country. My grandmother, who was a Jewish grew up in Belarus, was pregnant with my mother and she told her husband, I don’t want to bring my kids up here. It can be spiteful and treated badly, I want to go to America. And it turns out that America allows people to become very creative. But we need to really force that in our school systems and we’re not doing it. And we’re doing everything the opposite way. So for example, in medicine now, how did they decide how valuable you are? By how many relative value units. So I’ll just tell you the story about me very briefly. I see patients with cognitive disorders and usually, in my afternoon clinic, I would see about four patients, but I was teaching medical students. And most of these patients were sent by other neurologists because they couldn’t figure out what was going on with these patients. And if you go into pub med and type my name, you’ll see how many reports there are about unusual patients. I got a letter from an administrator at The University of Florida that said, you come to clinic at 12:30, you don’t leave clinic until past six o’clock, and you’ll only see four new patients. It wasn’t really his fault, that is the mentality now. So even medicine, if you see something interesting, something that’s different that you want to really look at and examine you can’t do it. So, and so many domains were interfering in the schools and medical schools were interfering with really the growth of creativity. Which takes time, rest and patience. Richard Miles: 31:56 We’ll Ken, thank you very much. We’re about out of time, but that’s been a fascinating discussion about the relationship of creativity and the brain. And I’m thankful that somebody invented the internet and zoom and laptops, those creative folks made this conversation possible. So thank you to that wider community who makes these conversations as possible, but thank you very much for joining us today on Radio Cade. Dr. Kenneth Heilman: 32:17 Thank you for inviting me and for all the wonderful work you all are doing in enhancing creativity to Bob Cade is so wonderful.

Well, it's time to get serious about remaking our containers – especially on the front porch and around the front door.   Editing containers from time to time is essential to keep them looking great.   Sometimes combinations don’t work well, other times plants can grow in unexpected ways – too tall, too bushy, or just an abject failure.    With the arrival of fall, it’s the perfect time to remove spent plants and replace them with selections that are more seasonally appropriate.   Fall pansies are wonderful to incorporate if you live in a cold climate. They can take the colder temperatures with no problem. Of course mums and asters and even grasses are wonderful in fall pots.   I always like to look for bargains at my local nurseries and big box stores. Sometimes those finds get placed in containers temporarily before they find a home in the garden.   And don’t forget you can include houseplants when you’re working with your fall containers. Pathos and Croton, even chopped up sections from an overgrown Boston fern are tremendous additions to fall containers.     Brevities #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of the Irish botanist and friend of Linnaeus, Patrick Browne who died on this day in 1790.  There are no photographs of Patrick Browne - who was also a physician; but we was described this way: “The Doctor is a tall comely man, of good address and gentle manners, naturally cheerful, very temperate and in general health.” Browne's major work was The Civil and Natural History of Jamaicapublished in 1756 in which he described 104 new species. In fact, Browne's work was the first book in the English language to use Linnaeus' classification system. Linnaeus was very pleased with Browne's work. He told the botanist Peter Collinson (who was friends with John Bartram and Benjamin Franklin) that after he had read Browne's book he reflected “No author did I ever quit more instructed" and he gushed that Browne, "ought to be honored with a Golden Statue.” Browne named the genus to which cloves belong: Syzygium aromaticum.      #OTD   Today is the birthday of the German Austrian rosarian Rudolf Geschwind who was born on this day in 1829. As a child, Geschwind loved gardening. As a young man, he studied Forestry and his first job was working for the Austro-Hungarian Department of Forestry. Although he performed excellent work in the field of forestry, Geschwind's true passion was roses. At the age of 30, Geschwind began experimenting with breeding roses.  It was a pursuit he would perfect over the next five decades. Geschwind's speciality was breeding roses that were frost resistant. Geschwind created close to 150 rose cultivars. His prized collection of climbing roses were displayed at the 1889 World's Fair in Paris. When Geschwind died in 1910, the Countess Maria-Henrieta Chotek, known as "The Countess of Roses,"  or "The Pink Countess," purchased Geschwind's entire collection - including some which had never been made public. As a member of one of the most distinguished families of the Czech nobility, Chotek had the means to handle this impressive transfer. In fact, Chotek was so serious about the effort to preserve Geschwind's work that she sent two of her gardeners to oversee the transfer of the collection. It was no small affair - it involved packing and moving over 2,000 roses to her estate - the Manor House or Castle known as Dolna Krupa. Over a century before Dolna Krupa was the place where Beethoven is presumed to have written his Moonlight Sonata. Maria-Henrieta's great grandfather, Jozef, was friends with Beethoven and he allowed Beethoven to live at Dolna Krupa for nearly a decade. Maria-Henrieta Chotek was born almost 60 years after Beethoven's stay at Dolna Krupa in 1863. As a woman who never married, her inheritance allowed her to pursue her passion for roses with abandon - and she did. She was in her 30's when she inherited Dolna Krupa. Once it was all hers, she set about creating one of the top three rosaria in Europe. During its prime, the rosaria at Dolna Krupa rivaled the roseria in France and the Rosarium of Sangerhausen in Germany. Chotek was a woman of action and she didn't just direct activities - she was very hands on. As a rosarian herself, Chotek developed new cultivars and conducted experiments. One time while visiting an exhibition, Chotek watched as a German horticulturist named Johannes Böttner presented a rambling rose called the Fragezeichen which means the "Question Mark" (What a great name!) The rose intrigued Henrieta Chotek so much, that she immediately left for Frankfurt to see the Fragezeichen trials personally. The year 1914 marked a turning point in Chotek's life and in the fate of many of Geschwind's roses. That year, in June, the Rose Congress was held at Zweibrücken. Chotek's work and rosaria were honored. But in the days following the event, Marie Henrieta's cousin, Sophie Chotek Ferdinand, wife of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was murdered alongside her husband in Saraevo and World War I had begun. Chotek swung in to action; this time as nurse caring for wounded soldiers. When the war was over, her rosarium was destroyed. Chotek immediately set about rebuilding her rosarium. She even began a rose breeding school right on the grounds pf Dolna Krupa. But, lacking the means and the energy of youth, Chotek was never able to restore Dolna Krupa to its former glory. During WWII, Dolna Krupa was ransacked by the Russian Army. In February, 1946, destitute and sick, Chotek died while in the care of nuns. She was 83 years old. Today, the Music Museum at Dolna Krupa holds a Rose Celebration in honor of Chotek. Tourists visit Dolna Krupa, primarily to see the place Beethoven lived. Visitors bring their own baskets and collect leaves of the wild garlic that grows rampant on the grounds of the estate.         Unearthed Words Here's an excerpt from a poem called A Year's Windfallsby the English poet, Christina Rossetti: "In the parching August wind,  Cornfields bow the head,  Sheltered in round valley depths,  On low hills outspread.  Early leaves drop loitering down Weightless on the breeze,  First-fruits of the year's decay  From the withering trees."  Christina Rossetti wrote the words to two of my favorite Christmas Carols: "In the Bleak Midwinter" and "Love Came Down at Christmas". It was Christina Rossetti who said, "My garden cannot be anything other than "my self."     Today's book recommendation: Colors from Nature by Bobbi McRae Colors from Nature was published in 1993. McRae shares how to grow plants to collect, prepare and use natural dyes.   Today's Garden Chore Now's the perfect time to relocate your hostas to improve the aesthetic of your garden. It's hard to know sometimes when you plant a hosta how you will feel about it once it's matured. When they are little, we often place hostas in a haphazard fashion - here's an empty spot - let's stick a hosta there. If you're not careful, the garden can end up looking like the hosta version of a patchwork quilt. And while you're placing them, remember that your blue or darker hostas like more shade - while the lighter colors of the yellowy green hostas and variegated hostas can take more sun.     Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart #OTD On this day in 1915 Ingrid Bergman, the actress, was born in Stockholm, Sweden. (She also died on the same day in 1982 at the age of 67.) Bergman appeared in a number of films including the iconic Casablanca. In 1969, Bergman appeared in a movie called Cactus Flower. Bergman was portraying a nurse named Stephanie Dickinson working in a Dentist's office. The dentist was played by Walter Matthau. Gardeners adore the movie Cactus Flower for the following lines read by Bergman: Early in the film Bergman is talking to Matthau and she puts him in his place by saying, "Doctor, you once compared me to my cactus plant. Well, every so often, that prickly little thing puts out a flower." Then, later in the film she memorably exclaims, "My cactus! It's blooming!"     Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Daniel Geschwind (UCLA) and his colleagues have been working to identify autism risk genes and understand how these might lead to autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Many genes with distinct functions have been identified as ASD susceptibility genes. In this lecture, he indicates how systems biology approaches demonstrate that pathways necessary for normal brain development and function are altered in ASD. Identification of these pathways is the first step toward developing treatments of ASD. Series: "CARTA - Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny" [Science] [Show ID: 24823]

Abstract: Human-mouse differences are a major barrier in translational research. Astrocytes play important roles in neurological disorders such as stroke, injury, and neurodegeneration. However, the similarities and differences between human and mouse astrocytes are largely unknown. Combining analyses of acutely purified astrocytes, experiments using serum-free cultures of primary astrocytes, and xenografted chimeric mice, we found extensive conservation in astrocytic gene expression between human and mouse. However, genes involved in defense response and metabolism showed species differences. Human astrocytes exhibited greater susceptibility to oxidative stress than mouse astrocytes, due to differences in mitochondria physiology and detoxification pathways. Mouse astrocytes, but not human astrocytes, activate a molecular program for neural repair under hypoxia. Human astrocytes, but not mouse astrocytes, activate the antigen presentation pathway under inflammatory conditions. These species-dependent properties of astrocytes may contribute to differences between mouse models and human neurological and psychiatric disorders. Copy rights belong to original authors.
