Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.14.528465v1?rss=1 Authors: Safavi, S., Chalk, M., Logothetis, N., Levina, A. Abstract: The critical brain hypothesis states that the brain can benefit from operating close to a second-order phase transition. While it has been shown that several computational aspects of sensory information processing (e.g., sensitivity to input) are optimal in this regime, it is still unclear whether these computational benefits of criticality can be leveraged by neural systems performing behaviorally relevant computations. To address this question, we investigate signatures of criticality in networks optimized to perform efficient encoding of stimuli. We consider a spike-coding network of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons with synaptic transmission delays and input noise. Previously, it was shown that the performance of such networks varies non-monotonically with the noise amplitude. Interestingly, we find that in the vicinity of the optimal noise level for efficient coding, the network dynamics exhibits signatures of criticality, namely, the distribution of avalanche sizes follows a power law. When the noise amplitude is too low or too high for efficient coding, the network appears either super-critical or sub-critical, respectively. Our work suggests that two influential, and previously disparate theories of neural processing optimization - efficient coding, and criticality - may be intimately related.

We are talking with Actor, Director, Producer Dimitri Logothetis about his directorial debut, PRETTY SMART. Dimitri shares with us the origin of getting the film made including Tony Randal's ulterior motive for getting New World Pictures involved.  More importantly, we learn that playing with an Ouiji board in a Greek hotel while high can drive you to make some pretty rash decisions.  We also learn about Dimitris's pitch to direct HARDBODIES 2.  He talks about the making of SLAUGHTERHOUSE ROCK and shares a story about the ghosts that may or may not live in solitary confinement.  We also talk with Dimitri about his latest production, JIU JITSU featuring Nicolas Cage.   Plus, if you take a shot every time Marc says, "right", you will most certainly be drunk by the end of the episode.  Good luck.  

Our guest today is Dr. Christopher Logothetis, one of the nation's foremost experts on prostate cancer. Chris has spent nearly five decades at MD Anderson in Houston developing therapies for prostate cancer as well as conducting research into the underlying biology of the disease. Aside from skin cancers, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, claiming a man's life every 15 minutes in the United States, according to the Prostrate Cancer Foundation. Since the 1970s when Chris joined the staff at MD Andersen, which is the nation's top-ranked hospital for cancer care, he has been dedicated to the treatment, research, and prevention of genitourinary cancers such bladder, kidney, testes and penis cancer. For the past 25 years, he has focused primarily on prostate cancer and the development of effective chemotherapy treatments. Today, Chris is the director of MD Anderson's Genitourinary Cancer Center and the director of the Prostate Cancer Research Program. Show notes: [00:03:23] Dawn opens the interview mentioning that Chris went to medical school in Greece and asks if he grew up there as well. [00:03:43] Ken asks Chris when he first became interested in science. [00:04:09] Dawn asks if there were a particular teacher or class that prompted Chris' decision to pursue medicine. [00:04:39] Dawn asks what led Chris to attend the University of Athens School of Medicine. [00:05:10] Dawn mentions that in the ‘60s and ‘70s, talking about cancer was almost taboo and asks Chris to talk about the stigma that surrounded cancer for quite some time. [00:05:57] Ken asks if Chris knew he wanted to specialize in cancers when he first started medical school in Athens or if that interest developed later. [00:07:06] Dawn mentions that Chris graduated from medical school in 1974 and then took off for Chicago where he had an internship at Cook County Hospital. Dawn asks about the experience, and if it were a culture shock to go from Athens, Greece to Chicago in the 1970s. [00:08:54] Dawn asks what took Chris to Texas and MD Anderson after his time in Chicago. [00:09:36] Dawn mentions that after Chris finished his fellowship, he joined the faculty at MD Anderson, and is now coming upon his 50th anniversary there. [00:09:51] Chris explains his view that we need to better understand the drivers of cancer and goes on to talk about what we currently know about these drivers. [00:12:06] Ken asks about the significance of the Human Genome Project on cancer research. [00:13:49] Dawn mentions that along with new technologies, there evolved a strategy of what is called co-clinical investigation where researchers study the mouse, but in parallel look at the difference and similarities with humans. She asks him about how that integrated data required a new language to bring it all together, which is now known as Prometheus. Dawn asks Chris to talk about Prometheus and how this has led to an accelerated understanding of cancer biology. [00:20:47] Dawn mentions that Chris has studied a range of genitourinary cancers throughout his career, such as germ cell tumors, bladder, and renal cancers, but that his interest in prostate cancer is a more recent development. Dawn asks what led to this specific interest. [00:23:12] Dawn explains that metastatic cancer was first cured in 1956 when methotrexate was used to treat a rare tumor called choriocarcinoma. She goes on to say that since then, chemotherapy drugs have been used to treat mixed germ-cell tumors and has led to dramatically improved survivorship among patients with metastatic germ-cell tumors. She also mentions that in 1982 Chris published a paper in the journal Cancer titled, “The growing teratoma syndrome,” at which time, tumor growth following chemotherapy for mixed germ-cell tumors had been considered a reliable indicator of a persistent active carcinoma, with the rule being that if the cancer didn't respond to treatment that operations were fu...

Hi this is Steve Owens your host of School of Hollywood where we talk with Producers, Actors and Directors about career steps and current projects.  This Episode we have the honor to speak with Dimitri Logothetis Director, Producer, Writer of "Jiu Jitu"  Movie on Netflix. New Producers will learn about steps to get your first movie made. 

Writer and Director, Dimitri Logothetis, is scoring smash box-office hits with his Jiu Jitsu movie, starring Nicolas Cage, reaching #4 on Netflix. Logothetis is credited for reinvigorating the famed KICKBOXER franchise with a trilogy of films showcasing world-class martial artists. His upcoming KICKBOXER: Armageddon is described as the most ambitious film in the franchise. JIU JITSU earned media coverage unheard of for an independent feature and was seen by millions, by bringing together Cage, an outlandish premise, world-class martial artists, and Logothetis' credibility fans around the world. The movie delivered on fans' expectations, and the next film is even crazier, say movie insiders Logothetis has written and directed various genres, from action, thriller, sci-fi, and horror. Last year he helmed the box office hit action film KICKBOXER: RETALIATION starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Mike Tyson, which holds an impressive 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Hollywood Reporter raved about the film calling it "A stylish and enjoyable fight flick with just enough tongue-in-cheek content to keep us smiling." KICKBOXER: Vengeance reintroduced the classic story to audiences worldwide, and KICKBOXER: Retaliation broke through, earning near-universal praise from audiences and critics alike. Lauded by fans and critics alike, Vengeance and Retaliation have proven to have longevity, ranking in the top action films on Netflix year after year. In this episode, Logothetis explains the success with audiences behind his movies and takes us through his career, working with legends and celebrities from Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro to sports icons Mohammed Ali and Mike Tyson. Logothetis, a Greek American, describes himself as an immigrant who is proud of the successful life and career he has achieved in America. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-aidan-byrne0/support

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.11.03.361055v1?rss=1 Authors: Krockenberger, M., Saleh, T. O., Logothetis, N. K., Evrard, H. C. Abstract: The insula has been classically divided into vast granular, dysgranular and agranular sectors. Over the years, several distinct studies proposed subdivisions of these sectors, with however no consensus. We recently proposed a cyto- and myelo-architectonic partition in which each sector contained sharply delimited areas (Evrard et al. 2014 J Comp Neurol 522: 64-97). Some of these areas were further divided into distinct subareas with obvious functional implications. Here, we examined the spatial relationship between architectonic boundaries and tract-tracing labeling in the insula in the macaque monkey. Injections of neuronal tracers in distinct areas of the prefrontal or anterior cingulate cortices produced heterogeneous and discontinuous patterns of anterograde and retrograde labeling in the insula. These patterns were made of sharply delimited patches forming anteroposterior stripes across consecutive coronal sections. While the overall pattern of labeling varied with the injection site, the patches systematically coincided with specific architectonic subareas, particularly in the dysgranular insula. This unequivocally validates our prior architectonic partition and strongly supports the idea of a refined modular Bauplan of the primate insula. This modular organization may underlie a serial stream of integration of interoception with self-agency and social activities across distinct insulo-prefrontal processing units that need to be explored.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.16.300053v1?rss=1 Authors: Hartig, R., Glen, D., Jung, B., Logothetis, N. K., Paxinos, G., Garza-Villarreal, E. A., Messinger, A., Evrard, H. C. Abstract: Digitized neuroanatomical atlases are crucial for localizing brain structures and analyzing functional networks identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To aid in MRI data analysis, we have created a comprehensive parcellation of the rhesus macaque subcortex using a high-resolution ex vivo structural imaging scan. The structural scan and its parcellation were warped to the updated NIMH Macaque Template (NMT v2), an in vivo population template, where the parcellation was refined to produce the Subcortical Atlas of the Rhesus Macaque (SARM). The subcortical parcellation and nomenclature reflect those of the 4th edition of the Rhesus Monkey Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates (RMBSC4; Paxinos et al., in preparation). The SARM features six parcellation levels, arranged hierarchically from fine regions-of-interest (ROIs) to broader composite regions, suited for fMRI studies. As a test, we ran a functional localizer for the dorsal lateral geniculate (DLG) nucleus in three macaques and found significant fMRI activation in this atlas region. The SARM has been made openly available to the neuroimaging community and can easily be used with common MR data processing software, such as AFNI, where the atlas can be embedded into the software alongside cortical macaque atlases.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.04.26.061085v1?rss=1 Authors: Totah, N. K., Logothetis, N. K., Eschenko, O. Abstract: The brainstem noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC) is reciprocally connected with the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Strong coupling between LC spiking and depolarizing phase of slow (1 - 2 Hz) waves in the PFC field potentials during sleep and anesthesia suggests that the LC drives cortical state transition. Reciprocal LC-PFC connectivity should also allow interactions in the opposing (top-down) direction, but prior work has only studied prefrontal control over LC activity using direct electrical (or optogenetic) stimulation paradigms. Here, we describe the physiological characteristics of naturally occurring top-down prefrontal-coerulear interactions. Specifically, we recorded LC multi-unit activity (MUA) simultaneously with PFC single unit and local field potential (LFP) activity in urethane-anesthetized rats. We observed cross-regional coupling between the phase of ~5 Hz oscillations in LC population spike rate and the power of PFC LFP oscillations within the high Gamma (hGamma) range (60 - 200 Hz). Specifically, transient increases in PFC hGamma power preceded peaks in the ~5 Hz LC-MUA oscillation. Analysis of cross-regional transfer entropy demonstrated that the PFC hGamma transients were predictive of a transient increase in LC-MUA. A ~29 msec delay between these signals was consistent with the conduction velocity from the PFC to the LC. Finally, we showed that PFC hGamma transients are associated with synchronized spiking of a subset (27%) of PFC single units. Our data suggest that, PFC hGamma transients may indicate the timing of the top-down excitatory input to LC, at least under conditions when LC neuronal population activity fluctuates rhythmically at ~5 Hz. Synchronized PFC neuronal spiking that occurs during hGamma transients may provide a previously unknown mode of top-down control over the LC. Copy rights belong to original authors.

I feel a great sense of gratitude to have had a chance to interview Leon Logothetis in the episode you are about to hear. Leon is a global adventurer, motivational speaker & philanthropist but It wasn’t always that way. He used to be a broker in the city of London where he felt uninspired and chronically depressed but he gave it all up for a life on the road. This radical life change was sparked by the inspirational movie The Motorcycle Diaries Leon recently returned from filming the second season of his Netflix TV show The Kindness Diaries. In season one he circumnavigated the globe on his vintage yellow motorbike named Kindness One, and in season two he drives a vintage yellow Volkswagen Beetle convertible which he names Kindness 2 all the way from Anchorage, Alaska down to Argentina. Along the way in both season 1 and 2, Leon gives a life changing gift to an unsuspecting good Samaritan in each episode. All of this while relying on the kindness of strangers to get him through each day. Leon is no stranger to adventure. He teamed up with First Book® & drove a car from London to Mongolia raising money to buy 10,000 books for underprivileged children in America. He also drove a vintage London taxi across America, giving free cab rides to the needy and working with Classwish to bring hope back to the schools of America. Leon has documented his travels for numerous media outlets including Good Morning America, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, THE BBC, FOX NEWS, CNN , Psychology Today, and The New York Times. Leon just released his 5th book which is entitled Go Be Kind This book isn’t just a journal or another how-to guide to getting what you want. It’s a series of daily adventures that will help you rediscover the greatest human gift—kindness, ultimately helping you to connect with others in order to create a happier and more magnificent life. In addition, Leon has 4 other books: The Mojo Diaries, The Amazing Adventures of a Nobody, Live, Love & Explore, and the Kindness Diaries In today’s episode you will get a glimpse into Leon’s journey, what he has learned about himself, and the hope and vision he has for making the world a better place through kindness. Leon has been very busy doing lots of different talks and interviews since finishing up season 2 of the Kindness Diaries. Having seen a lot of his interviews, I’ve seen a lot of the same type of questions asked to him, so I really wanted to focus on asking him some different questions to dig into Leon is an inspiration and I highly recommend bringing him into your school as a guest speaker. You can find all the information you need about Leon in the show notes of this episode. Leon’s Bio Leon Logothetis is a TV host, producer, author, traveler and all around good guy. Formerly a London broker, he gave up his comfortable life to travel and find real human connection. Born in London England, of Greek descent, Logothetis now lives in Los Angeles California. He was educated in London and graduated from Babson College in Boston Massachusetts with a Business degree. After graduating college, Logothetis was a successful broker. But his real education started in the school of life—traveling the world. He had a radical life change after stumbling upon an inspirational movie, The Motorcycle Diaries, which chronicled the story of Che Guevara. On Che’s journey, he crossed South America relying solely on the kindness of strangers, and his story lit up Logothetis' mundane existence. At this point, Logothetis felt disconnected and was leading an uninspired life. He felt his life had no purpose and no sense of direction, so he decided to do something about it. Tired of his disconnected life and uninspiring job, Logothetis left it all behind—job, money, home and even his cell phone—and hit the road with nothing but the clothes on his back and five dollars in his pocket. Each day of his journey helped him realized that the kind,

As Kurt Sloane, he is the poster-boy at the heart of the rebooted Kickboxer franchise – a role made famous by his childhood hero, Jean-Claude Van Damme – which was launched in 2016 with the film Kickboxer: Vengeance. The second instalment, Kickboxer: Retaliation, received rave reviews upon its release in 2018, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it “stylish and enjoyable”, and Forbes calling it an “absolute must-see”. The film is available now on Blu-ray and DVD in the UK from Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment. The man behind the franchise is the producer and director, Dimitri Logothetis, and halfway through this chat with Alain, Dimitri unexpectedly joins the conversation to tell us more about the challenges of remaking such a beloved franchise, and his plans to bring back authenticity to martial arts movies in the age of computer-generated superheroes. Alain is a chatty, engaging guest who is also a martial arts instructor based in Ottawa, Canada. We discuss his approach to teaching as well as his road to stardom, from doubling the likes of Channing Tatum, Hugh Jackman and Henry Cavill, to taking his first steps as a leading man. Alain and Dimitri are also collaborating on more movies together, including a new sci-fi franchise called Jiu Jitsu, which we also get to discuss.

Welcome to the 6th episode of Reel Travels!  Today we are talking about the birthplace John Wayne in Winterset, Iowa. Otherwise known as "The Duke" he was born Marion Robert Morrison on May 26, 1907. He didn't have plans to become an actor, but he stumbled into it and worked his way to an Academy Award for his role in True Grit (1969). I talk to Brian Downes of the John Wayne Birthplace in Winterset about John's career in film and what fans can see at the museum. Great interview!  My celebrity minute is with the Kickboxer's director Dimitri Logothetis.  Enjoy the show! 

World Travel and adventure is what many people crave in their lives, and so It's with great delight that we bring onto the show today a man who had a similar background to myself. He began his career in the City Of London as a broker, and after a period of time knew that his time had come, to go after what lights him up inside. In fact it was a lot worse than that, as he actually became chronically depressed and knew that he had to do something about the way his life was going. And wow didn't he do just that, as now he is a global adventurer, motivational speaker & philanthropist. He gave up this image of corporate success for a life on the road, which came about after being inspired by the movie The Motorcycle Diaries. The days of living and working behind his ‘slab of wood' were well and truly over. His new passion: Finding ways for your inner rebel (that voice that tells you, you are worth so much more than you think) to come out and play.Adventure, adventure, adventure, As he says “The inner rebel tells you that your life is yours. And anything you dream of is possible. Anything. And that the fuel for all this delicious potential is simple: Kindness and harnessing the power of human connection. And. Doing it all with a smile on your face and a spring in your step!” So how did he take that first step when so many people would have thought that he had cracked it already? And does he look back at his past life, and know that this was just one of his dots that he had to go through to get to where he is today? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the inspirational Leon Logothetis. Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics as: How all his friends and family thought he was crazy just to throw it all up in the air and go after his dream, but he just knew that he had to do it. How the first journey that he took was travelling across America on just $5.00 dollars a day travelling from New York to Hollywood, connecting with the world. How he was taught by a homeless guy in Pittsburg that wealth isn't in your wallet, but what is truly in your heart. How he nearly died whist driving a car across Romania, and could hear the words of Churchill “Never Give Up, Never Give Up, Never Give Up” And lastly…….. How he likes nothing more than jumping into a swimming pool, naked (and sometimes with a load of other people too….don't tell your Mum!) 

Sharing stories about connections and kindness through their motorcycle travel experiences, Sam Manicom, Todd Blubaugh and Leon Logothetis tell some inspiring, feel good anecdotes that make us realize how important it is to reach out to people wherever you go. Both for what you receive and for what you give.  Travel Changes Us, and We Come Away Different People We've often heard from those who travel on a motorcycle about how it's the people they met who made all the difference in their experience. That people are basically the same all over the country or the world. And how being on a motorcycle makes it so much easier to connect with others. When we are so 'out there', open and perhaps vulnerable, we often form connections, which lead to friendships, emotional healing, acts of kindness, conquering fears, building trust, growing confidence, and so much, much more. Travel changes us, and we often come away different people.  Sam Manicom: The Importance of Connections Sam Manicom, is a renowned motorcycle adventurer, speaker and the author of four books. He's been to many places around the world, has experienced different cultures and met a lot of people while on his travels. He has a wealth of information that he shares with our listeners as a frequent guest on Adventure Rider Radio and as a regular co-host on ARR RAW. And Sam knows the value of connecting with people, how simple gestures or conversations can lead to life changing experiences or open your eyes to different perspectives. And he knows that connections can make the story.
