Send us a textIn this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks speaks with Dr. David Amaral and Kathy Stein about the powerful impact of brain donations through Autism BrainNet in advancing our understanding of autism. Dr. Amaral offers a comprehensive overview of autism, exploring what science currently knows about its risk factors and potential causes. He discusses the rise rate of autism and explains how brain donations provide researchers with a rare and invaluable opportunity to study autism at the neurological level—offering insights that can't be uncovered any other way. He also shares key discoveries that have already emerged through Autism BrainNet's efforts.Kathy Stein joins the conversation to share a deeply personal story: that of her brother Ed, who lived with autism and viewed it as "a different way of seeing the world." After Ed's passing, Kathy donated his brain to Autism BrainNet, a decision she describes as a gift to science, one that reflects her commitment to supporting research that might bring answers to families in the future. Together, Dr. Amaral and Kathy explain how the brain donation process works, what it means for scientific discovery, and why it's an act of profound generosity.Dr. David Amaral is a distinguished professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UC Davis. He serves as the scientific director of Autism BrainNet and was the founding research director of the renowned MIND Institute, a center for autism research founded in collaboration with parents of children on the spectrum. He is also a past president of the International Society for Autism Research and currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of its journal, Autism Research.Kathy's brother Ed called Concord, New Hampshire home for 25 years. A beloved community member, Ed worked at the Concord Monitor, operating the advertisement insert machine until his retirement. A familiar and friendly face at the Concord Public Library, Ed had a wide range of passions—including steam trains, photography, travel, and musicals. He lived with warmth, curiosity, and an enduring grace that left an impression on all who knew him.You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here.Support the show

This is a conversation with Dr. David Amaral, a distinguished professor at the MIND Institute and scientific director of Autism BrainNet, and Dorothy Frisch, an activist and supporter of the program. Autism BrainNet is funded by the Simons Foundation to collect and study postmortem brain samples from individuals with autism to understand the neurological basis of the disorder better. Currently, there are no biomarkers for autism, so studying the brains and accomplishments of those who had autism can lead to a better understanding of the abilities and challenges seen on the autism spectrum. David explains, "We went to the Simons Foundation and, with their support, have established a network in the United States. We have three collection sites: one at the UC Davis Mind Institute in Sacramento, one at UT Southwestern in Dallas, Texas, and one at the Mass General Hospital in Boston, where a postmortem brain donation can be sent. Those brains are then prepared in ways that will facilitate all kinds of research both now and in the future. We have developed this resource to foster autism research throughout the world. What we are seeing now that we've just celebrated our 10th anniversary is that we've collected nearly 400 brain donations so far, and we're seeing an increasing demand from researchers worldwide to get access to that resource." Dorothy elaborates, "I was the main support person for my older cousin, Gregory Blackstock, for a couple of decades. He needed a lot of executive function help. He lived on his own but couldn't make critical decisions very well. As long as everything went along without any hitch, he was generally fine. But as he got older and experienced more physical infirmities, then I needed to step up more. So then he was very obviously autistic, so it was kind of peripherally interesting to me." "One of his savant traits was that he was an incredible artist. He also spoke many languages that he picked up by ear. He had a perfect pitch and learned the accordion, but he could easily transfer that information to playing the organ and the piano. He had almost total recall of anything that crossed his path that interested him. And so, just being around him and being involved with furthering his artistic career gave me further insights about the people I met who were interested in autism."   #AutismBrainNet #BrainDonation #AutismResearch #Autism #BrainResearch autismbrainnet.org Download the transcript here  

Într-o lume ce pare să gonească într-o singură direcție, conexiunea cu sinele se pierde ușor, și când mai avem și diferite traume acumulate în dezvoltarea noastră ca indivizi, apar tot felul de blocaje. Vorbim despre Modelul Relațional Neuro-Afectiv (pe scurt NARM), pornind de la volumul lansat recent de Pagina de Psihologie, "Trauma de dezvoltare", carte semnată de Laurence Heller și Aline LaPierre, invitată psiholog clinician Bogdana Bursuc.  Deși poate părea că oamenii suferă de un număr infinit de probleme și provocări emoționale, Laurence Heller și Aline LaPierre, autorii cărții "Trauma de dezvoltare", susțin că cele mai multe dintre acestea pot fi reduse la cinci principii organizatorice fundamentate biologic: nevoia de conectare, acordaj, încredere, autonomie și iubire-sexualitate. Ei descriu felul în care trauma timpurie afectează capacitatea de conectare cu sine și cu ceilalți, precum și modul în care scăderea vitalității care rezultă de aici reprezintă dimensiunea ascunsă ce stă la baza celor mai multe provocări psihologice și a multora dintre problemele fiziologice.Heller și LaPierre prezintă Modelul relațional neuro-afectiv – NeuroAffective Relational Model™ (NARM), o metodă care integrează abordări de jos în sus (ascendente) și de sus în jos (descendente) pentru reglarea sistemul nervos și rezoluția distorsiunilor identității, cum ar fi stima de sine scăzută, rușinea și auto-judecata cronică ce rezultă din trauma de dezvoltare și relațională. NARM nu ignoră trecutul unei persoane, însă pune accent pe lucrul în momentul prezent, concentrându-se pe punctele forte, resursele și reziliența clienților de a integra experiența conexiunii care susține fiziologia, psihologia și capacitatea noastră de relaționare.„Conștientizarea colectivă a traumelor de dezvoltare și C-PTSD reclamă această carte. Autorii oferă nu doar o carte, ci un mod de lucru clinic unic, inedit, care deschide o nouă lume pentru noi psihoterapeuții, precum și pentru persoanele cu care lucrăm. Un mod de lucru puternic fundamentat științific, care ne aduce profunzime și claritate, care ne deschide și ne așează în interiorul nostru. Această carte este un prieten și un mentor la care să revenim din nou și din nou.“ — Bogdana Bursuc, psihoterapeută, Master NARM practitioner și ambasadoare NARM™ în RomâniaBogdana Bursuc este psiholog clinician, psiholog organizațional și psihoterapeut specializat în mai multe forme de intervenție (TCC, EMDR, NARM) și coordonatorul Mind Institute, o organizație profesională care acordă servicii de sănătate mintală și training.

What if we could actually identify and even correct significant autism risk factors in utero, before a baby is born? This is the promise of the game-changing research of Dr. Janine LaSalle, epigeneticist extraordinaire from UC Davis. With autism rates continuing to increase at alarming rates (the latest data from the CDC, released in 2023, is 1 in 36 children in the US, an increase from the prior 1 in 44), new ways to prevent and treat this condition are of utmost importance. Dr. LaSalle is on a mission to change that, by investigating something you probably haven't heard much about yet - the placental methylome. Methylation signatures in the maternal placenta are yielding information both for predicting autism in children and for intervention targets to prevent the development of the disease. It's just incredibly exciting. In our conversation, you'll also learn how placental methylation behaves differently to DNA methylation in other tissues, and how the placental methylome may also help us better understand cancer as well as mechanisms that restore more youthful epigenetic patterns. Hold onto your hats folks - yes this is deep science, but it's also actionable even now. You'll hear how methylation support specifically in the early pregnancy window is key and how it's also protective against insults from environmental toxicants. You're in for a treat with this fascinating conversation that has far-reaching implications for you and your patients. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources.

Millions of kids and adults across the world have ADHD, which stands for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD doesn't affect everyone in the same way, though. Some people might have trouble focusing, while others might get really fidgety or take risks without thinking about them. But what is ADHD and what is happening in the brain of someone with ADHD?In this episode, Molly and cohost Julianne (who also has ADHD) learn from Dr. Julie Schweitzer of the MIND Institute at UC Davis about how a brain with ADHD can feel a little bit like an orchestra without a conductor.  Plus, Julianne talks with Daniel Kwan, director of the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once, about what it's like to live with ADHD, and how people with ADHD have some superpowers when it comes to creativity.This episode was sponsored by:Indeed (Indeed.com/BRAINS) - Claim your $75 sponsored job credit to upgrade your job post.

Join us for Trauma & its impact on individuals with neurodevelopmental differences with Jennifer Abbanat.Jennifer says:I am a wife and a mom to three neurodivergent kids (ages 20,18, and 15), each with their own unique needs and challenges. Two of my kids are autistic and two of my kids have Tourette's Syndrome. All three have also had medical complexities, with my two youngest needing ongoing medical care for chronic illness since birth. I have had to learn how best to advocate and support each of them within the different systems of society (esp medical and educational systems) over the years by essentially creating their own individual “playbook.”After less than 3 months of first grade, we chose to take our son out of school as they were not appropriately meeting his complex needs and in fact, were creating more distress for him.I “unschooled” him for 9 years and allowed him to guide me as to what he needed both for his learning and development, but more importantly, his overall well-being as a human. I just wanted my son to be happy and experience joy! He has been an excellent tour guide!He entered back into our public school in 9th grade through an Independent Study School where he will graduate high school in June. I truly believe every child can be, successful; no matter how that looks. Our kids need the adults in their life to be present, love them unconditionally and to never give up on them.Despite the challenges over the years, I have found it vital to enjoy the ordinary moments that are often overlooked when families face extraordinary circumstances.Through the years, I have taken to heart what Dr. Bruce Perry says, “People, not programs, change people.” This is one reason I started a local parent support group, something that didn't exist when I was going through the early years and seeking helpful resources. I have also joined with a few other “moms” to bring support, resources and education on a larger scale to our community called Yolo Neurodiverse Network. Our focus is on the people who work with, care for and support neurodiverse people.It can be very hard on families, but I never lose sight that my son experienced some very serious adversity early in his development, and that this is “why” we may see him struggle in areas of life. This guides me to understanding more about relational neuroscience, Attachment Theory, how early adversity can impact the developing brain, and how this impacts everything in his life. Trauma informed, brain aligned, neuroaffirming practices need to be the framework to appropriately support our kids in all settings and especially for those who have vulnerable nervous systems and developmental delays.In February 2023, I will be completing the Traumatic Stress Studies 7mo course with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, through the Trauma Research Foundation and in 2021 I completed Dr. Dan Siegel's 6mo course in Interpersonal Neurobiology. I have also completed over 100 hours of professional development in trauma, special education and advocacy, behavioral health, Poly Vagal Theory, neurodevelopmental disabilities and differences, and the many therapy modalities that can help support an individual in the trauma healing process, ie, play therapy, expressive arts therapy, somatic experiencing therapies, and importantly therapies that focus on body up approaches rather than top-down cognitive approaches.In addition to the Traumatic Stress Studies course, I am also in a 10-month LEND Trainee program (Leadership in Education of Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities) through the University of California, Davis at The MIND Institute.Support the show

The latest effort by legislative staff to unionize. The approval of the first over-the-counter birth control pill. UC Davis' Mind Institute's summer seminar on developmental disorders. State legislative staffers unionization effort They're the often unseen workforce that makes the wheels of California's politics turn, an army of busy bees working long hours shepherding lawmakers and their bills under the State Capitol. They're legislative staffers, a workforce of nearly 2,000 full-time employees who serve the people of California. But it's a job that some staffers say takes a toll, some claiming they work long hours without overtime pay. Others have said they've experienced hostile work environments. Legally, these state workers are not allowed to unionize. For that to change lawmakers need to pass a bill signed into law by the governor. It's been attempted multiple times over the years, but efforts granting legislative staffers the right to unionize have fallen short. But there is a new attempt making its way through the State Capitol and this time the bill has bipartisan support. Laura Fitzgerald, CapRadio's first Capitol Fellow, spoke with current and former legislative staff members about another effort underway to unionize and shared why they believe this time could be different. Over-the-counter birth control Every year in the U.S. there are roughly six million pregnancies. And almost half are unintended. That is according to the FDA, which this month just approved the first birth control pill for over-the-counter use. The tablet is called Opill and has been available by prescription for 50 years. And soon this daily oral contraceptive will be available without a prescription at drug stores, convenience stores and grocery stores, as well as online.  But there are still some unknowns, especially when it comes to cost. Dr. Daniel Grossman, Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at UCSF and Director of Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH), discusses the significance of the FDA's approval of an over-the-counter birth control pill called Opill, how it differs from other birth control pills, and the pathway this potentially opens up for other over-the-counter medications. Seminar on neurodevelopmental disorders For almost 20 years, UC Davis' MIND Institute has hosted an educational seminar to share the latest news, information, research and support on issues of autism, ADHD and fragile X syndrome.  Amber Fitzgerald, UC Davis MIND Institute's Program Manager and Summer Institute co-coordinator joins us on Insight to share details of this weekend's event and why the MIND Institute is focusing on inclusion as it relates to neurodevelopmental disorders.

I initially misinterpreted Dr. Goodale's research on the duplex account of high-level vision (listen to hear how), and yet his insights into visual perception are fascinating. We also touch on gas lighting (not gaslighting) and how that relates to visual perception of form; ultimately, it is humbling to recognize that there is much that physicians don't know (and didn't know) about neuroanatomy, physiology, and pathomechanisms of disease. Dr. Melvyn Alan Goodale, PhD, FRSC, FRS is a Canadian neuroscientist. He is a Distinguished University Professor and the founding Director of the Brain and Mind Institute at the University of Western Ontario. He holds appointments in the Departments of Psychology, Physiology & Pharmacology, and Ophthalmology at Western. Goodale's research focuses on the neural substrates of visual perception and visuomotor control; his research has demonstrated that visual perception is functionally independent of the visual control of action. He developed the “duplex” account of high-level vision with his colleague, David Milner. He was awarded the Donald O. Hebb Distinguished Contribution Award (CSBBCS) in 1999, the Hellmuth Prize for Scientific Achievement (Western) in 2007, and the Richard C. Tees Award for Distinguished Leadership (CSBBCS) in 2008. He is the author of Sight Unseen: An exploration of conscious and unconscious vision, 2nd edition.

Between remote work, quiet hiring, quiet firing, forced back into office, gig work, A.I., automation, and so much more, the workforce is in a challenging position today. Workers are sandwiched between anxiety towards an unsure future and strict performance reviews saying ‘do better!' of the past. Sadly, what workers lack support in, is focusing on the present. Luckily, Tom Sterner is here to change that. Tom Sterner is the Founder and CEO of the Practicing Mind Institute, and author of books “The Practicing Mind: The Practicing Mind,” “It's Just a Thought: Emotional Freedom Through Deliberate Thinking,” and “Fully Engaged: Using the Practicing Mind in Daily Life.” Tom is a leading expert in the field of Present Moment Functioning and coaches some of the world's top business leaders, organizations, athletes, and performers in this technique he's dedicated the past few decades of his life studying. Rooted in millennia old philosophy and backed by decades of neuroscientific research, Tom's work in the field of Present Moment Functioning is critical for leaders to understand. At a time when the workforce is particularly vulnerable, leaders need to understand how to support their workers, in order to get them performing at their best. This is another podcast you're definitely not going to want to miss, so with that…let's bring it in!

As a young man, he was Allen Ginsberg's teaching assistant at Naropa University.   On today's episode, Steve talks to Jack about the how The Beatles impacted his life, the importance of Sgt. Pepper in the counter culture revolution, and the influence of The Beatles on bands such as The Grateful Dead and Crosby Stills Nash and Young.   Check out Steve's website: https://www.stevesilberman.com/ Follow Steve on Twitter: https://twitter.com/stevesilberman   This episode is dedicated to David Crosby, who was one of the most influential musicians in rock history and a very close friend of Steve's. To the surprise of the world, David passed away just two weeks after this podcast was recorded.    One of the reasons I started this podcast was to ask great minds such as David's how The Beatles inspired his music - and thanks our guest Steve Silberman and his recent phone call with David Crosby, that question is answered in today's episode.   David will be sorely missed here on Earth, but as he once said, music is love. - and David has left behind a legacy of music and love that will live on forever.   If you like this episode, be sure to subscribe to this podcast!

They are regarded as the most influential band of all timeand were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962.   Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only album to include compositions and performances by all four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh in New York City in August 1971. Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again. Two double-LP sets of the Beatles' greatest hits, compiled by Klein, 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, were released in 1973, at first under the Apple Records imprint. Commonly known as the "Red Album" and "Blue Album", respectively, each has earned a Multi-Platinum certification in the US and a Platinum certification in the UK. Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music. The only one to feature previously unreleased material was The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl (1977); the first officially issued concert recordings by the group, it contained selections from two shows they played during their 1964 and 1965 US tours. The music and enduring fame of the Beatles were commercially exploited in various other ways, again often outside their creative control. In April 1974, the musical John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert, written by Willy Russell and featuring singer Barbara Dickson, opened in London. It included, with permission from Northern Songs, eleven Lennon-McCartney compositions and one by Harrison, "Here Comes the Sun". Displeased with the production's use of his song, Harrison withdrew his permission to use it.Later that year, the off-Broadway musical Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road opened. All This and World War II (1976) was an unorthodox nonfiction film that combined newsreel footage with covers of Beatles songs by performers ranging from Elton John and Keith Moon to the London Symphony Orchestra. The Broadway musical Beatlemania, an unauthorised nostalgia revue, opened in early 1977 and proved popular, spinning off five separate touring productions. In 1979, the band sued the producers, settling for several million dollars in damages. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), a musical film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, was a commercial failure and an "artistic fiasco", according to Ingham. Accompanying the wave of Beatles nostalgia and persistent reunion rumours in the US during the 1970s, several entrepreneurs made public offers to the Beatles for a reunion concert.Promoter Bill Sargent first offered the Beatles $10 million for a reunion concert in 1974. He raised his offer to $30 million in January 1976 and then to $50 million the following month. On 24 April 1976, during a broadcast of Saturday Night Live, producer Lorne Michaels jokingly offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on the show. Lennon and McCartney were watching the live broadcast at Lennon's apartment at the Dakota in New York, which was within driving distance of the NBC studio where the show was being broadcast. The former bandmates briefly entertained the idea of going to the studio and surprising Michaels by accepting his offer, but decided not to.   Steve Silberman is an award-winning science writer whose articles have appeared in Wired, the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Financial Times, the Boston Globe, the MIT Technology Review, Nature, Salon, Shambhala Sun, and many other publications.

Representation is essential in advocacy work and the push for legislation. When it comes to autism and disability advocacy, listening, engaging, and understanding the experiences of people of color is crucial to changing the narrative. Elizabeth Morgan joins the show to help us understand the importance of connecting with stories of people of color with disabilities and their families.Elizabeth is an Assistant Professor in Educational Leadership at the University of California, Sacramento, and program coordinator for the CED at the Mind Institute. Her area of research includes early childhood and early intervention services with a specific interest in underrepresented populations.Jeiri and Elizabeth's conversation explores the ways in which representation matters. Elizabeth explains the importance of bringing pieces of your identity as a person of color into the classroom and curriculum. She also takes us behind the scenes of her thesis, how she dug deep into the conversations surrounding disparities, and why she felt empowered as a Black mother with a learning disability to create an impact by simply being herself. Elizabeth also speaks truth to power, of the dangers of terms and labels. She sparks the conversation of why a careless approach to language can be a huge disservice to people of color and people of color with disabilities.This is an important conversation that highlights the multifaceted nature of advocacy. Tune in as Elizabeth and Jeiri share the importance of highlighting Black and Brown voices, and why we should fight for systems that work for everyone.View all episodes and transcripts at http://www.aucd.org/podcastThis episode was funded by the Administration for Community Living through technical assistance contract # HHSP233201600066C.

I denne episode tager vi en snak om vejen fra madstress til madro.Rigtig mange har et svært og udfordrende forhold til mad, og der er mange faktorer som påvirker det forhold. I det her afsnit tager vi et kig på nogle af dem, som vi har set mest i vores arbejde med klienter.Det er et stort emne med mange nuancer, og det er umuligt for os at afdække alt i én episode. Så se det her som et lille indblik i arbejdet med madro, ikke en komplet guide.I episoden gennemgår vi:- Hvorfor restriktioner ikke virker, og hvad man skal gøre i stedet- Hvordan dine madregler påvirker dit forhold til mad (og eksempler på madregler som de fleste har, men ikke selv ligger mærke til)- Hvorfor tilgængelighed af mad nogle gange forbedre ens forhold til mad og andre gange forværre det- Konkrete værktøjer og tips til hvordan man kan forbedre sit forhold til mad, og hvordan kan være nysgerrig på sin egen adfærd og lære af denHvis du har en spiseforstyrrelse eller et meget anstrengt forhold til mad, så få professionel hjælp. De værktøjer vi giver i podcasten kan være en hjælp, men det kan aldrig erstatte professionel behandling.Vi anbefaler at tage kontakt til Parnian: https://www.recoverycoaching.dk/Mind Institute: https://mindinstitute.dk/Eller egen læge.I episoden præsenterer Jonas' kort metakognitiv terapi, men forklaringen er ikke særlig fyldestgørende og giver ikke et billede af hvad metakognitiv terapi egentlig er.  Du kan læse mere om behandlingsmetoden, her: https://mindinstitute.dk/terapi-traening/metakognitiv-terapi.Vi snakker flere gange om madro på forskellige måder, og madro kan betyde noget forskelligt alt efter hvem man er.

You know those first few weeks and months of a really painful breakup? When you can't eat, sleep or stop crying? Imagine if in those moments you had a voice in your ear whispering ‘I love you' and telling you how special you are. Except those words aren't coming from your ex, but from a stranger on the internet. When the pandemic kicked off and heaps of Australians lost work, the federal and state governments made an unusual commitment to protect renters from being evicted. But now almost all of those protections are gone. Plus, Australia's top cyber spy agency and the federal opposition have called for more action to tackle dodgy texts and scam robocalls.

Sean is a man, a voice, and a guide I've been tracking for some time, for his work in the eco-psychotherapy and psychedelic-assisted therapy space. Within the frame of rewilding, or de-domesticating the mind, remembering and reclaiming what Martin Shaw calls the 'wild twin,' the selves it can be easy to exile in our culture, we explore how both ecological re-connective practice and psychedelic-assisted therapies support us on this path of deliberately and pre-emptively meeting the wild.As the founder and director of the Wild Mind Institute and therapist trainer in 2 of Australia's psychedelic research trials, Sean and I dive into some of the nuances of bridging transformative process with everyday life, specifically psychedelic integration practices in 'bedding down new knowings.'It was an honour to share in this rich exchange with Sean, and we trust there are some fruits that fall from our conversation to support you in your journey of wholing, healing and remembering.--Show-notes and links hereConnect with Al on InstagramConnect with Al on FacebookMusic by RhoneSupport the show (https://aljeffery.com/podcast/)

Aging published this trending editorial on May 20, 2021, entitled, “When aging switches on Alzheimer's” by researchers from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, MIND Institute, Center for Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, University of California, Irvine, CA. In the paper, the researchers discuss the effects of oxidative stress in aging and Alzheimer's disease. In short, age-related oxidative stress launches a global shift in the epigenetic landscape, and drives metabolic and energetic “switches.” The researchers point out that these "switches" highlight potential epigenetic targets for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, EPISODE #138 with Dr. Daniel Ansari[i], a professor and Canada Research Chair[ii] in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning in the Department of Psychology and the Brain in Mind Institute[iii] at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario where he heads the Numerical Cognition Laboratory.[iv] His name is well-known in the field of educational neuroscience with a focus on numeracy and math which I know our listeners will find fascinating as we make connections with how children acquire math and numeracy, with brain science in mind. You can watch the interview on YouTube here.  I'm Andrea Samadi, an educator who has been fascinated with understanding the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports, and the workplace for the past 20 years. If you have been listening to our podcast, you will know that we've uncovered that if we want to improve our social and emotional skills, and experience success in our work and personal lives, it all begins with an understanding of our brain. Our goal with this podcast is to bring the most current neuroscience research to you and make it applicable in your life whether you are a teacher in the classroom or using these ideas to improve productivity and results in your workplace. As I am researching and learning new ideas, I'm also implementing them myself, and making connections to past speakers, so that we can all benefit from the research that is emerging in this new field of educational neuroscience. Which brings me to our next guest, who I came across a few months ago while researching neuroscientists who specialize in the field of education. Dr. Daniel Ansari's name came up as a speaker at the Dropping Out, What Neuroscience Can Teach Us[v] International Symposium on the long-held paradigms of dropout prevention with his session on “The Best Way for Children to Learn Math” and my attention was caught. When I worked at Pearson Education, (2004-2010) I was on a sales team that had a focus on one product, for dropout prevention at the high school level (NovaNET)[vi] and I spent years promoting this program with the hopes of saving students who were at risk of dropping out. This conference was happening just as I had begun to study the brain and learning in 2015, and I only wish I had found it sooner. I wrote down Dr. Ansari's name on my desk, with the idea that I would look him up, and see if he would come on the podcast as a guest. Then went back to work on researching in the field of educational neuroscience and the researcher I am working with, Mark Waldman, sent me an article that he thought would be of interest to me with a project I am working on. I opened the article called “Annual Research Review: Educational neuroscience: progress and prospects”[vii] by Michael S.C Thomas, Daniel Ansari, and Victoria C.P. Knowland and immediately contacted Daniel Ansari. I don't believe in accidents and when someone's name continues to come to my attention as someone I need to learn from, I don't waste any time. Without further ado, let's meet Professor and Canada Research Chair in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning, Dr. Daniel Ansari. Welcome Daniel! I was so happy when you wrote back after I contacted you after reading your research abstract on educational neuroscience, thank you so much for being here. Daniel, you let me know when I first contacted you that you were in lockdown in London, Ontario, Canada, that your son was doing his schooling in your office and as I am writing these questions, I saw that schools in Ontario (where I grew up, got my teaching degree, and was a teacher) have according to Professor Prachi Srivastava, a professor at Western University “the longest school closures in Canada. As of today (June 3rd), 23 weeks since March 2020).” What is going on with the schools in Ontario, and how do you think this is impacting student learning?   Q1: Dr. Ansari, when I first began to research this field of educational neuroscience, it was in 2014 when an educator urged me to go in this direction with the leadership/SEL program[viii] I created for middle and high schools, and there wasn't a lot of resources to follow. There were books to read on learning and the brain and I have interviewed many of these leaders on the podcast (David Sousa, How the Brain Learns Series[ix], John Medina's Brain Rules[x]) but I certainly had no idea there were undergraduate programs in this field. ((The term educational neuroscience came to me a few years later as I began to learn from Dr. Lori Desautels[xi], who runs the educational neuroscience graduate program at Butler University, but aside from her program, or taking a certification course like I am doing now from a leading researcher, I didn't know of any pathway that an educator could take to learn more about the brain and how it impacts learning.)) Can you share how you came on this path, that took you from your work in England, to Dartmouth College's first undergraduate program in neuroscience and perhaps your vision for where this field is going?[xii] Q2: I'd love to dive into the work you are doing at Western University's Numerical Cognition Lab where you are studying how children develop numerical skills. I'm sure that you hear this often, and it was the first thing that came across my mind when I began researching your work. Why did you put your focus on numeracy and math? What are the scientific and societal implications that you've uncovered to build a case for everyone to look mathematical skills with a new lens? Q3: Now that you've built the case for the importance of numeracy and math for our students/children, and many students have been homeschooled for the past year, so this is information is important for parents, not just for those teaching in the classroom. What are some of the foundational numerical skills that our children/students should be proficient with by 3rd grade (since 3rd grade is such an important marker for literacy) and how can we be sure to not put our fear of math (if we have it) onto our students or children? Q4: I watched the video on your website[xiii] that gives an overview of the work you are doing in your lab, and it caught my attention with the brain imaging you are doing to see how the brain's structure and function impact our mathematical abilities. The only research I have come across so far on the brain and mathematics is David Sousa's “How the Brain Learns Mathematics”[xiv] and in this book he says that with brain imaging they came across an interesting finding that he wasn't sure was coincidental. They found “that the region of the brain that controls finger movement is the same region associated with counting”[xv]  and he thought it was interesting that finger movement and counting are closely associated in the brain. Do you have any interesting findings like this (linking brain functions) that would be interesting and helpful for teachers learning to integrate brain science into their lessons, or parents homeschooling? What are you seeing with your brain scans? Q5: We just released a podcast on a fascinating story of a child who had a developmental reading disorder, who failed 1st grade in 1994, yet went on to graduate with his Ph.D. from Oxford in 2018 with brain-based learning strategies. Can you explain a brief overview of Developmental Dyscalculia, how we can recognize it with our children/students and some strategies we could all use to help those who show the signs of this brain-based disorder, so it doesn't dictate their future? Q6: What is your vision for the future of education, and how educational neuroscience can advance our understanding of best practices to accelerate learning, social/emotional and academic?   Thank you for your time, research and strategies linking neuroscience to the future of learning. If people want to learn more about your work, I will put your website in the show notes numericalcognition.org and social media links Twitter @NumCog. Is there anything else we should know about that I have missed or any final thoughts?   Thank you, Dr. Ansari.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, for Brain Fact Friday and episode #137. In Today's Brain Fact Friday You Will Learn: ✔︎ Why the Foundational Skills in Literacy and Mathematics are so Important. ✔︎ How Students with Reading Difficulties and Like Students with Math Difficulties. ✔︎ An Introduction to Dyscalculia: The Math Learning Disability. ✔︎ How to Recognize Dyscalculia, and Strategies to Assist Students Who Struggle with Math. ✔︎ Many Celebrities Have Dyscalculia and Dyslexia: It's Not a Matter of Intelligence. I'm Andrea Samadi, a former educator who has been fascinated with understanding the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports, and the workplace for the past 20 years. If you have been listening to our podcast, you will know that we've uncovered that if we want to improve our social and emotional skills, and experience success in our work and personal lives, it all begins with an understanding of our brain. Our goal with this podcast is to bring the most current neuroscience research to you and make it applicable in your life whether you are a teacher in the classroom or using these ideas to improve productivity and results in your workplace. The idea is that these strategies will give you a new angle and provide you with a new way of looking at learning, with the brain in mind. As I am researching and learning new ideas, I'm also implementing them myself, and making connections to past speakers, so that we can all benefit from the research that is emerging in this new field of educational neuroscience. The Importance of The Foundational Skills: Literacy and Mathematics Which brings us to this week's Brain Fact Friday and the connections I made while recording episode #136[i] with Lois Letchford, and her son who failed first grade in 1994 when testing revealed he could only read 10 words, had no strengths and a low IQ and was clearly struggling with his academics in his early years.  Thank goodness his Mother figured out that he needed to learn how to read with different learning strategies that you can learn about in episode #136, and see how her son defied the odds he was given at an early age and graduated from Oxford University with his Ph.D. What would have happened to Nicholas Letchford if he didn't have such a happy ending to his story? If he did not find a different way to build those foundational skills that he needed for literacy achievement?  I remembered a webinar I prepared for the educational publisher, Voyager Sopris Learning in 2018 on “Nine Brain-Based Strategies to Skyrocket Literacy Achievement”[ii] and in the introduction to this webinar, I talk about the U.S. statistics that emphasize the importance of our children learning to read proficiently by 3rd grade. Did you know that: 2/3 of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of 4th grade will end up in jail or on welfare. Over 70% of America's inmates cannot read above a 4th grade level. 1 in 4 children in America grow up without learning how to read at all. Students who don't read proficiently by the 3rd grade are 4 times likelier to drop out of school. Nearly 85% of the juveniles who face trial in the juvenile court system are functionally illiterate, proving that there is a close relationship between illiteracy and crime. More than 60% of all inmates are functionally illiterate. And these shocking statistics lead to high drop-out rates, low graduation rates and college completion, illiteracy, incarceration, and welfare, proving that when a student is struggling with their reading, there is so much more at stake than what meets the eye. Then I began researching for episode #138 with Dr. Daniel Ansari, a professor, and Canada Research Chair[iii] in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning in the Department of Psychology and the Brain in Mind Institute[iv] at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario where he heads the Numerical Cognition Laboratory[v] and I learned from Dr. Ansari that in addition to the importance of developing these foundational reading skills, he emphasized the importance of developing the foundational skills in numeracy and math saying that “low numeracy skills is associated with physical illness, depression and incarceration”[vi] and even that “students with poor math skills were likely to default on their mortgage”[vii] later in life. This builds a clear case for the need for intervention if a student is struggling with reading or math in their early years.   For this week's Brain Fact Friday, I am sure you have heard of the term dyslexia for students who have difficulty with reading, problems with spelling and mispronunciation of words, but did you know there was a term like this for those who have specific difficulties learning mathematics? Dyscalculia: The Math Learning Disability Dyscalculia: “is a math learning disability that impairs an individual's ability to learn number-related concepts, perform accurate math calculations, reason and problem solve, and perform other basic math skills”[viii]  and usually “co-occurs with dyslexia.”[ix]  I will dive deeper into this brain-based disorder on my interview with Dr. Ansari next week, but until then, if you want to learn more about recognizing the signs and symptoms of dyscalculia, with engaging and fun strategies to help your students or children learn mathematics, you can learn more with these resources below. To learn more about Dyscalculia, watch the video with Dr. Ansari here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRJS-jeZ7Is You will learn: What is Dyscalculia?[x] Areas of difficulty (seeing how numbers fit together, counting, calculating, recalling math facts, using concepts like less than, greater than, reading a clock, working with money, not able to count backwards reliably, tendency not to notice patterns, inability to manage time in daily life). Strategies to help students learn: Using manipulatives for counting, number lines and other visual tools to help solve problems and provide students with extra time so they can organize their thinking. Educational Companies: Like ETA Cuisenaire (now Hand2Mind)[xi] who have created what they call “Cuisenaire Rods[xii]” to help students learn math in a more fun and enjoyable way. Remember that students who have learning challenges like dyslexia with reading, or dyscalculia with math, can be just as successful in their life, future, and careers as those who do not have these challenges.  Just ask Alexander Graham Bell, Albert Einstein, John Lennon, Muhammed Ali, Steven Spielberg, Henry Winkler, Tom Cruise, Whoopi Goldberg, Walt Disney, Jay Leno and Keira Knightly, who all grew up with dyslexia and it was noted that Bill Gates, Henry Winkler, Cher, Mary Tyler Moore, and Benjamin Franklin also had dyscalculia.  Like we saw in episode #136 with Lois Letchford's son Nicholas, children can be extremely successful in their life and future, if they are given the learning strategies that they need to help them to succeed whether it's with learning to read, or with mathematics.   REVIEW OF THIS WEEK'S BRAIN FACT FRIDAY: Dyscalculia: “is a common math learning disability that impairs an individual's ability to learn number-related concepts, perform accurate math calculations, reason and problem solve, and perform other basic math skills”[xiii]  and usually “co-occurs with dyslexia.”[xiv]  Stay tuned for episode #138 with Dr. Daniel Ansari, who I know will open our eyes with new connections with the neuroscience of learning. See you next week.

For 2012-13, Dr. Anderson is a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, at Stanford University. His primary areas of research include an account of the evolution of the cortex via exaptation of existing neural circuitry (the "massive redeployment hypothesis"); the role of behavior, and of the brain's motor-control areas, in supporting higher-order cognitive functions; the foundations of intentionality (the connection between objects of thought and things in the world); and the role of self-monitoring and self-control in maintaining robust real-world agency. In this episode, we talk neuroscience and cognitive science. We start with the evolution of the brain, and what is the best way to understand it, and go through the modularity approach, the idea of functional localization, and the triune brain model. We then move into mechanisms like neuromodulation, neuroplasticity, response to damage, and neural regeneration. We talk about Dr. Anderson's massive redeployment (or reuse) hypothesis of brain evolution. Finally, we talk about how important interdisciplinarity is to studying the brain. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, BO WINEGARD, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, ANJAN KATTA, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, MAX BEILBY, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, THOMAS TRUMBLE, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, OMARI HICKSON, PHYLICIA STEVENS, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JOÃO ALVES DA SILVA, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, TOM ROTH, AND YANICK PUNTER!

Does last year feel like a decade ago? But this year feels endless too? Cognitive Neuropsychologist Muireann Irish from the Brain and Mind Institute says there are scientific reasons behind our strange perceptions of time right now. Plus, Gymnasts are speaking out about the poor treatment of athletes in the sport. And, a parliamentary inquiry has revealed the government had no proof that university funding changes would encourage students to study science over humanities.

J., Palaniyappan, L., Martinez-Trujillo, J. C. Abstract: The primate lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) is considered fundamental for temporarily maintaining and manipulating mental representations that serve behavior, a cognitive 1 function known as working memory . Studies in non-human primates have shown that LPFC lesions impair working memory2 and that LPFC neuronal activity encodes working 3 memory representations . However, such studies have used simple displays and constrained gaze while subjects held information in working memory3, which put into 4,5 question their ethological validity . Currently, it remains unclear whether LPFC microcircuits can support working memory function during natural behavior. We tested macaque monkeys in a working memory navigation task in a life-like virtual environment while their gaze was unconstrained. We show that LPFC neuronal populations robustly encode working memory representations in these conditions. Furthermore, low doses of the NMDA receptor antagonist, ketamine, impaired working memory performance while Science,NewYorkUniversity,NewYork,NY,USA.

Ketamine decreased the firing of narrow spiking inhibitory interneurons and increased the firing of broad spiking cells reducing population decoding accuracy for remembered locations. Our results show that primate LPFC generates robust neural codes for working memory in naturalistic settings and that such codes rely upon a fine balance between the activation of excitatory and inhibitory neurons.

If I've grown over the 16 years I've been teaching, much of it is due to seeds planted by an inspiring, authentic, and upbeat expert named Patty Schetter. This interview with Patty explores her perspectives on supporting kids with executive function needs, what she's found to help them thrive, and a funny fail she will always remember. Links for more information on Patty's books and her work with CAPTAIN autism will be at sarahkesty.com/blog/episode20. All my love, Sarah

Neuroscientist Adrian Owen has spent much of his career exploring what he calls ‘the grey zone’, a realm of consciousness inhabited by people with severe brain injuries, who are aware yet unable to respond to those around them. It's this inability to respond which has led doctors to conclude that they are unaware. In the late 1990's, Adrian started to question the assumption that they lacked awareness and a chance discovery set him on a novel path of enquiry - could some of these patients be conscious or aware even though they don’t appear to be? His research has revealed that some are, and he’s pioneered techniques to help them to communicate with the outside world. This emerging field of science has implications, not only for patients but, for philosophy and the law. A British scientist, Adrian now runs a research programme at the Brain and Mind Institute at Western University in Canada, dedicated to reaching people in this ‘grey zone’.

On Episode 34, Nick chats with Jackie Sullivan, Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy, a member of the Rotman Institute of Philosophy, and an associate member of the Brain and Mind Institute at the University of Western Ontario, about how a challenging early home life pushed her to study existentialism and philosophy, finding a supportive environment in the History and Philosophy of Science (HPS) graduate community at Pitt, putting her PhD on pause to do a Master's in Neuroscience, how scientists exert control in experimental contexts (and how they extrapolate back to the phenomena), why neuroscience is not reductive in practice, the nature of the self in Alzheimer's disease, problems in integrative research, and how we coordinate practices to achieve certain goals in science.Timestamps: 0:15 Hello and welcome 2:24 Jackie

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP Vegetative state is commonly defined as "wakefulness with awareness." Patients with a vegetative state diagnosis will show only reflex behavior, are not able to follow commands and are unable to communicate. This barrier in the inability for patients to communicate can make it difficult for doctors to measure their level of consciousness. In fact, some patients who are believed to be in a completely vegetative state may be more aware of what's going on than people realize. Host Brian McDonough joins Dr. Adrian Owen, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging at the Brain and Mind Institute at Western University. They talk about how the use of MRI technology is aiding doctors in measuring the level of consciousness in patients under vegetative states.

In our Cerebrum article, “Examining the Causes of Autism,” David G. Amaral, Ph.D., founding research director of the MIND Institute at UC Davis and Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, writes that autism has both a genetic and environmental component, and that it’s very likely that someone who is autistic is born that way. In this podcast, Amaral explains his reasoning behind those conclusions and explores a whole range of other issues: the challenges of autism research, what inspired him to focus on the disorder, his thoughts on gene modification, environmental factors pregnant mothers may wish to avoid, why it is important for autistic adults to find their place in communities, and more.
