SUMMARY:Language Science Talks: Talking Genetics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: UNICEF\, UNESCO and the World Health Organization include communication in their core life skills. Deficits in communication disrupt social\, emotional and educational development and increase the risk of behavioural disorders\, unemployment and mental health issues. Yet\, research in this area is under-represented and we still have little understanding as to the causes of communication disorders and their relationships to other developmental delays and behavioural problems. It is likely that genetic factors contribute to communication disorders but we expect there to be many contributory genetic variants\, each with only a small risk. Some people inherit certain combinations of these risk variations that\, when accompanied by particular environmental factors\, make them sensitive to language impairment. \nMy presentation today will focus upon our study of a unique Chilean population who inhabit the Robison Crusoe Island. This Island community was colonised in 1876 by 64 individuals from whom the majority of the current population (633 people) are descended. In 2008\, researchers from the University of Chile noted that approximately 60% of children living on this island were affected by language disorder. They further described how the majority of language impaired individuals were descended from two brothers who formed part of the original colonising party. We have been working with researchers from Chile and with the Islanders to form a study of the genetic origins of the Islanders and to discover genetic variants that might explain the unusually high incidence of language impairment in this population. Our investigations have led to the identification of rare variants in the NFXL1 gene\, which encodes a transcription factor that is highly expressed in the cerebellum. In my talk\, I will give an overview of the population and the findings of our genetic research. I will discuss how genomic studies can help to better understand the molecular mechanisms of speech and language and\, ultimately\, may direct the targeting of interventions for affected individuals. \nSpeaker bio: Dr Dianne Newbury is a molecular geneticist who studies genetic contributions to childhood neurodevelopmental disorders. Her investigations specifically focus around speech and language impairment and its relationship to disorders such as dyslexia. Dianne has a lab at Oxford Brookes University. Her work is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council\, the Leverhulme Trust and the British Academy.

SUMMARY:Women's Brain Health Initiative Trainee-Mentor Session
DESCRIPTION:The Women’s Brain Health Initiative Trainee-Mentor Sessions intend to provide students with the opportunity to meet and engage with sex and gender experts through informal conversations on diverse topics including professional development and research. To ensure an intimate and valuable experience\, each Trainee-Mentor session will be limited to 30 registrants. \nPlease note that these sessions are for registrants of the Women’s Brain Health Conference (2020-2021). If you have not registered for the conference\, you may do so here before you register for the session(s) you would like to attend. \n\nRobert-Paul Juster is the Director of the Center on Sex*Gender\, Allostasis\, and Resilience (CESAR) situated at the Research Center of the Montreal Mental Health University Institute. Dr. Juster is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Addiction at the University of Montreal and holds a CIHR Sex and Gender Science Chair. Dr. Juster completed his graduate studies in Psychology at Concordia University (BSc) and Neuroscience at McGill University (MSc\, PhD) before completing a Post-Doctoral fellowship in Psychiatry at Columbia University. \nDr. Juster’s research focuses on teasing apart the role of biological sex and socio-cultural gender in explaining pathways that render us vulnerable or resilient to stress-related disease. Dr. Juster has become an expert in the measurement of allostatic load\, the ‘wear and tear’ of chronic stress and unhealthy behaviors that he measures with biomarkers collected from saliva and blood. Robert-Paul has led research on understanding how stigma\, stress\, and strain influence the health of lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and more recently transgender individuals. In his newly launched laboratory CESAR\, he and his students aim to further advance sex/gender and allostatic load research among diverse populations such as the LGBT community\, workers\, and psychiatric patients. \nIn this talk\, I will share my career path and philosophy regarding transdisciplinary research approaches that nuance sex\, gender\, and sexual orientation in relation to stress biology and mental health. By applying a sex- and gender-based analysis that appreciates individual variation beyond sex binaries\, I will demonstrate how one’s sex\, sex hormones\, gender-roles\, gender identity\, and sexual orientation uniquely influence functioning of the stress hormone cortisol and multi-systemic physiological dysregulation known as allostatic load linked to both physical and mental health. The take-home message of this decade’s worth of integrative neuroscience research can be summarized as follows: when studying stress-related phenomena that appears to differ between the sexes\, accounting for interactions among sex and gender (sex*gender) is essential.

SUMMARY:Livewire: A Stimulating Night of Neurotechnology
DESCRIPTION:Livewire is a virtual entertainment event that combines neuroscience\, neuroethics\, and interactive media for participatory technology design. After a series of lightning talks on the technical\, clinical\, and ethical implications of emerging brain technologies\, attendees will break into small groups to experience and reflect on Brainstorm: a social neurotechnology platform for coupling minds across geographic\, cultural\, and social boundaries. \nSpeakers include Dong Song\, co-director of the USC Center for Neural Engineering; Eran Klein\, a neurologist at the Oregon Health and Science University and a neuroethicist at the University of Washington’s Center for Neurotechnology; and Judy Illes\, a former president of the International Neuroethics Society and director of Neuroethics Canada at the University of British Columbia. \nBios:\nDong Song is a research associate professor of biomedical engineering and co-director of the Center for Neural Engineering at USC. His research interests include nonlinear dynamical modeling of the nervous system\, hippocampal memory prosthesis\, neural interface technologies\, and development of novel modeling strategies incorporating both statistical and mechanistic methods. He invented the multiple-input\, multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear dynamical model of spike transformation that serves as the computational basis of hippocampal memory prostheses. \nEran Klein is a neurologist specializing in dementia at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) and the Portland VA Medical Center. He is part of the neuroethics thrust at the NSF Center for Neurotechnology (CNT) at the University of Washington. He works at the intersection of neurology\, neuroscience\, and philosophy. \nJudy Illes is a past president of the International Neuroethics Society and director of Neuroethics Canada at the University of British Columbia. A pioneer and eminent scholar in the field of neuroethics\, she has made groundbreaking contributions to ethical\, social\, and policy challenges at the intersection of biomedical ethics and neuroscience\, emerging neurotechnologies for neurologic and psychiatric conditions affecting people across the life span\, decision-making\, cross-cultural values\, and the commercialization of healthcare. \nPresented by USC Visions and Voices: The Arts and Humanities Initiative. Produced by the Brains@Play Initiative\, including USC student Garrett Flynn\, the Neurogenesis Working Group at Ahmanson Lab\, and USC faculty Dong Song (Biomedical Engineering)\, Marientina Gotsis (Interactive Media & Games)\, and Curtis Fletcher (USC Libraries and Ahmanson Lab). Co-sponsored by USC Sidney Harman Academy for Polymathic Study\, OpenBCI\, Alterea\, and Athenoe.

SUMMARY:Livewire: A Stimulating Night of Neurotechnology
DESCRIPTION:Livewire is a virtual entertainment event that combines neuroscience\, neuroethics\, and interactive media for participatory technology design. After a series of lightning talks on the technical\, clinical\, and ethical implications of emerging brain technologies\, attendees will break into small groups to experience and reflect on Brainstorm: a social neurotechnology platform for coupling minds across geographic\, cultural\, and social boundaries. \nSpeakers include Dong Song\, co-director of the USC Center for Neural Engineering; Eran Klein\, a neurologist at the Oregon Health and Science University and a neuroethicist at the University of Washington’s Center for Neurotechnology; and Judy Illes\, a former president of the International Neuroethics Society and director of Neuroethics Canada at the University of British Columbia. \nBios:\nDong Song is a research associate professor of biomedical engineering and co-director of the Center for Neural Engineering at USC. His research interests include nonlinear dynamical modeling of the nervous system\, hippocampal memory prosthesis\, neural interface technologies\, and development of novel modeling strategies incorporating both statistical and mechanistic methods. He invented the multiple-input\, multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear dynamical model of spike transformation that serves as the computational basis of hippocampal memory prostheses. \nEran Klein is a neurologist specializing in dementia at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) and the Portland VA Medical Center. He is part of the neuroethics thrust at the NSF Center for Neurotechnology (CNT) at the University of Washington. He works at the intersection of neurology\, neuroscience\, and philosophy. \nJudy Illes is a past president of the International Neuroethics Society and director of Neuroethics Canada at the University of British Columbia. A pioneer and eminent scholar in the field of neuroethics\, she has made groundbreaking contributions to ethical\, social\, and policy challenges at the intersection of biomedical ethics and neuroscience\, emerging neurotechnologies for neurologic and psychiatric conditions affecting people across the life span\, decision-making\, cross-cultural values\, and the commercialization of healthcare. \nPresented by USC Visions and Voices: The Arts and Humanities Initiative. Produced by the Brains@Play Initiative\, including USC student Garrett Flynn\, the Neurogenesis Working Group at Ahmanson Lab\, and USC faculty Dong Song (Biomedical Engineering)\, Marientina Gotsis (Interactive Media & Games)\, and Curtis Fletcher (USC Libraries and Ahmanson Lab). Co-sponsored by USC Sidney Harman Academy for Polymathic Study\, OpenBCI\, Alterea\, and Athenoe.
