Conversing with infants may affect their brain circuitry | Stanford News – Stanford University News

While babies arent known for being great conversationalists, talking to them can still be worthwhile. A new Stanford study finds that engaging in conversations with adults may help infant brains develop, especially those areas involved in language comprehension.

In a new study, published Nov. 30 in the Journal of Neuroscience, Stanford researchers assessed the brain function of sleeping babies, aged five to eight months old, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans. They also outfitted these San Francisco Bay Area infants with a special, wearable device a sort of talk pedometer which recorded at least eight hours of all the nearby, clear speech in their home environments on a typical day.

Using these data, the researchers were able to calculate the quantity of the conversations that babies engaged in with the adults in their environments. Even though infants of this age cant take part in complex conversations, they can babble syllables the building blocks of words in order to respond to their caregivers or to elicit a response.

Before infants are even producing words, our findings indicate that the conversations we have with infants matter for their brain function, said Lucy King, the studys lead author and a doctoral candidate in Stanfords Department of Psychology in the School of Humanities and Sciences. There seems to be something special about these conversational dynamics between infants and caregivers, versus just the raw amount of stimulation that infants receive.

Of the 99 infants who completed recordings of their home language environments as part of the observational study, 51 went on to provide fMRI brain scans. Collecting the imaging data for this study wasnt easy, given that infants cant follow directions like being told to be still during scanning. When we started this, no one had scanned infants for research at Stanford, so we had to set up all of the procedures, said study co-author Ian Gotlib, the David Starr Jordan Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences and the director of the Stanford Neurodevelopment, Affect and Psychopathology Laboratory, where the research was conducted.

The researchers scheduled the brain scans close to infants bedtimes so that the babies could sleep during scanning. Mothers helped to soothe infants to sleep in the scanning facility. For every scan, there was a researcher who played the role of baby whisperer, designated to monitor the baby throughout the scan. There was also a parent whisperer, who helped support parents and communicate with them about the testing procedures.

The researchers focused their analyses on functional connectivity a measure of how activation in different areas of the brain rises and falls in synchrony in brain regions in the infants temporal cortex that are linked with language comprehension. They found that babies who engaged in more conversations with adults in their everyday lives had less synchronized activation in a network of regions that processes language stimulation.

It is not clear at this point whether the correlation between more conversational turns and lower functional connectivity in the posterior temporal cortex means that lower connectivity is a good or a bad thing, King said. Although we cant know for sure, we speculate that lower connectivity reflects more efficient brain organization.

Interestingly, this brain effect was only observed in babies that adults conversed with directly, and not in those who only overheard speech between other adults. These findings support previous behavioral findings about the importance of direct conversations for a babys language development. Infants experience a really rapid period of brain development during the first, very important year of life, King said.

The Stanford researchers caution that further study is needed to better understand how brain function may be associated with the development of language later on in life. But King says this study helps to establish the importance of continuing to conduct research to understand the role of the early environment in language development so that researchers can identify the factors of the early environment that we might want to target and interventions to help promote infant development.

Using these data, you can imagine interventions, training programs or parenting programs, aimed at increasing these kinds of meaningful back-and-forth conversations, assuming that the associations that we are documenting with the infant brain are going to have significant consequences later in life, Gotlib said.

The lab is following up with participating parents and their infants at 18 months of age to examine how they are developing including looking at empathy, social relatedness, vocabulary and early signs of psychopathology.

The researchers hope their findings can inspire policies or practices to help families in the future.

We, as a society, must support parents so that they have the time and resources to engage in these rich interactions with their infants, King said. Thats especially top of mind right now when so many parents are taxed by everything theyre juggling childcare, work and the chronic stress of the pandemic.

Additional co-authors on the study, titled Naturalistic Language Input is Associated with Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Infancy, include Kathryn L. Humphreys, now an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University; M. Catalina Camacho, now a neuroscience doctoral student at Washington University in St. Louis; and David Montez, now a postdoc researcher at Washington University in St. Louis.

Seminar on ‘Developing Tools to Measure Neuro-immune Communication’ on Friday – University of Arkansas Newswire

Photo Submitted

Ashley Ross

Ashley Ross of the University of Cincinnati will give a virtual seminar titled "Developing tools to measure neuro-immune communication"on Zoomfrom 4-5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4. The talk is free and open to the public.

Ross is an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Cincinnati and faculty in the Neuroscience Graduate Program at UC. She earned her Ph.D. in 2014 from the University of Virginia under the guidance of Dr. Jill Venton. She completed her post-doctoral training in Rebecca Pompano's lab at the University of Virginia where she was an American Association of Immunology Careers in Immunology Fellow from 2016-2017. She began her independent career at UC in 2017.

Her research interests are diverse including fundamental investigations into the electrode-analyte interface, development of new electrochemical methods to probe neurochemicals in the brain and immune system, and the development of microfluidic and microengineered platforms to probe neurochemical-regulated signaling between the nervous system and immune system. Her work has been highlighted in the Analyst Emerging Investigator Series,ChemComm Emerging InvestigatorIssue, and the Female Role Models in Analytical ChemistryIssue in Analytical Bioanalytical Chemistry. She serves on the Advisory Board for the Features Panel of ACS Analytical Chemistry and is on the Board of Directors for the Society of Electroanalytical Chemistry. In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with her kids, painting, and singing.

Communication between the nervous system and immune system is vital for maintaining health yet remains difficult to probe with precise temporal and spatial resolution. The Rosslab uses a combination of electrochemistry and microfabrication techniques to close the current gaps in the field. Specifically, theyhave developed new electrochemical methods and electrode materials for fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) which hasenabled themto expand these tools to new analytes involved in neuroimmune communication and other analytes previously not studied with real-time electrochemical techniques.

FSCV is a classic electroanalytical technique most often used in the brain to study neurotransmitter signaling on a 100-ms timescale; however, the Rosslab has expanded its utility to studying neurochemical events in immune organs like the lymph node. In addition, combining FSCV with microengineered platforms has provided an experimental platform to probe neurotransmitter signaling in multiple organs simultaneously ex vivo during communication. This talk will highlight some of the Ross lab'srecent work in this area on method development and the application of these methods to study new biology.

How Neuroscience Is Changing The Way Your Brain Processes Fear At Work – Forbes

Neuroscientists are studying how to keep your brain from freaking out on the job.

When a frightful creature startles you, your brain may activate its fear-processing circuitry, sending your heart racing to help you escape the threat. Imagine, for example, youre weeding your garden and see a coiled water hose, but you think its a snake. The job of your brains fear-processing circuits is to help you learn from experience to recognize which situations are truly dangerous and to respond appropriately. So if the scare comes from a water hose instead of a snake, youll probably recover quickly. In more dire circumstances, however, if the coiled object is a poisonous copperhead, the brains fear response can be critical for your survival. Being able to fear is the ability to sense the danger and is the driving force to figure out a way to escape or fight back, said Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory ProfessorBo Li.

Neuroscientists know that fear memories are made in the amygdalaan almond-shaped structure deep in the brain, considered the hub for fear processing. And thats where many of their studies begin. Lis team is probing the brain circuits that underlie fear, using sophisticated neuroscience tools to map their connections and tease out how specific components contribute to learning fear. An understanding of these circuits could lead to better ways to control the overactive or inappropriate fear responses experienced by employees with anxiety disorders and those who suffer from panic attacks and post traumatic stress disorder in the workplace.

Suppose, for example, your boss walks by your desk. You hook eye contact with her, smile, and nod. She looks straight at you, but doesnt acknowledge your presence. She might as well be staring at the wall. Holy cow, you say to yourself. I must be in hot water. You shrink inside, ruminating over what you might have done to deserve this. Your heart races, and you feel shaky. Its just a few days before your performance review. Sleepless nights stalk you. You toss and turn as your brain circuits spin with worry over job security. This is your amygdala in action, making up a story from its library to help you survive.

The day of your evaluation, your boss calls you into her office, and your stomach flip-flops. You tremble the way you did in sixth grade when you were summoned into the principals office. But, to your dismay, she greets you with a smile and gives you a glowing performance evaluation. Not only are you not in hot water, she calls you a highly valued team member, a laudable successthe exact opposite of what your anxiety predicted and a feather in your career cap.

All that worry and rumination for nothing. But it has already taken a toll on your mind and body and your job performance. Studies show that 90% of the worries that our brain circuits scare us with are false alarms that never manifest. Still, the amygdala catalogues, prioritizes and remembers the negative experiences in an attempt to prevent lifes unexpected curve balls from ambushing you. If youre like most people, you believe the library of memories from the past as they show up in the present moment.

But had you thought about it (been able to keep your prefrontal cortex or rational brain online) you might have realized there are a number of benign reasons your boss didnt acknowledge you when she walked by your desk. Perhaps she was distracted by her own worries, deep in thought over an upcoming meeting or simply just didnt see you. But our brain circuits in the amygdala jump into action, focused only on the disastrous possibilities, blowing your thoughts out of proportion sending you into spirals of rumination. And you fell for it hook, line and sinker just like all of us do.

While the amygdala was once thought to be devoted exclusively to processing fear, researchers now are broadening their understanding of its role. New research out of Stanford University shows that the fear circuit extends far beyond the amygdala. Lis team has found that the amygdala is also important for reward-based learning, and as they trace its connections to other parts of the brain, they are uncovering additional complexity. It is important for formation of fearful memory, but its also important for interacting with other brain systems in a different behavior context, Li said. We think that this circuit that we discovered that plays a role in regulating fearful memory is only a tip of the iceberg. It is indeed important for regulating fearful memory, but probably is also involved in more complex behavior.

Li and his colleagues were surprised recently to find that the amygdala communicates with a part of the brain best known for its role in controlling movement. The structure, called the globus pallidus, was not known to be involved in fear processing or memory formation. But when the researcher team interfered with signaling between the amygdala and the globus pallidus in the brains of mice, they found that the animals failed to learn that a particular sound cue signaled an unpleasant sensation. Based on their experiments, this component of the fear-processing circuitry might be important for alerting the brain which situations are worth learning from, Li said.

The implications for employees with anxiety disorders or just plain harried workers are that they can worry less and focus more on their jobs, which could potentially escalate engagement, job performance and career success. Not to mention the companys bottom line.

Learning Science, Institutional Change and ‘The Idea of the Brain’ | Learning Innovation – Inside Higher Ed

The Idea of the Brain: The Past and Future of Neuroscience by Matthew Cobb

Published in April of 2020.

There is this idea that I have. An idea that I expect will occupy most of the rest of my academic career. That idea has to do with the future of higher education, and it goes something like this:

Universities change by moving their institutional structures in ever-greater alignment with learning science.

That's it.

Institutional structures cover everything from incentives to policies to investments to organizational arrangements. Policies around hiring, tenure, and promotion (or adjunct recruiting) and decisions about which building to build (or not build) all fall within the umbrella of institutional structure.

We create and recreate our universities. Their designs and operations are not divinely decreed. We make them. And if we choose, we can make our universities operate in a way that aligns (or not) to what we are learning about how people learn.

Surely other things matter than learning science in determining the future of the university. Of course. Everything matters, from demographics to public policy to technological advancements. A theory of university change that puts learning science at its heart does not need to ignore all of these forces. This theory predicts that they will play out at an institutional level in a way that is mediated by advances in learning science.

This big idea about how universities will change - if it is a big idea - brings us to The Idea of the Brain. If we are going to put learning science at the core of a theory that attempts to predict the future of the university, we need to recognize that we are thinking about the brain. The brain, after all, is where learning happens.

The Idea of the Brain is one part intellectual history, one part an overview of neuroscience. It is helpful to ground contemporary understandings of how the brain works in centuries of thinking about its structures and function. Throughout history, humans have used different metaphors to understand the workings of the brain. These stories have progressed from the brain as analogous to a machine, to plumbing, to electrical wiring, to a telegraph, and more recently to a computer. As we know today, none of these metaphors is very accurate, and the comparison of the brain with a computer has likely set-back popular understanding of brain function.

What comes across most strongly in The Idea of the Brain is how little we still understand its workings. Cobb, a professor of biological sciences, believes we are decades if not centuries away from human-brain like artificial intelligence. Consciousness remains as much a mystery today as at the birth of the modern field of neuroscience in the 1950s. We've made astounding advances in areas such as brain imaging, yet we seem to be no closer to a theory of the brain that would allow us to replicate its functioning in silicon or software.

That we still understand so little about how the brain's physical structures evolved to create conscious thought should not dissuade us from the goal of advancing the science of learning. We may not understand the brain well enough to create true artificial intelligence, but we know a great deal about how the brain learns.

If our goal is to align our universities with learning science, one place to start is to situate the study of the brain as a foundational element of a liberal education. A cross-discipline reading of The Idea of the Brain seems like an excellent place to start.

How to Get Smarter Every Day, According to Neuroscience | Inc.com – Inc.

A friend of mine spends 20to 30minutes a day solving Sudoku puzzles. He says it improves his speed of mental processing and makes him, well, smarter.

Ask people which factor contributes the most to successand most will choose intelligence, even thoughscience saysyoualso have to be lucky: Rightplace, right time. Right person, right time. Right idea, right market, right audience at the right time.

Yet even though there are ways to "create" your own luck, you can't control luck.

But you can control, to some degree, how smart you are.

Let's Define "Smart."

While there are a number of differentforms of intelligence, let's focus ontwo. Crystallized intelligence is accumulated knowledge: facts,figures. Think "educated."

Of course we all know people who are "book smart" but not necessarily smart smart. That's where fluid intelligence comes into play: The ability to learn and retainnew informationand then use it to solve a problem, to learn a new skill,to recall existing memories and modify them with new knowledge. Think "applied intelligence."

Becomingmore educated is, while not easy, certainly simple.

Improving fluid intelligence is harder, which is one reason why brain games--crossword puzzles, Sudoku, brain training apps, etc.--are fairly popular.

But do they make you smarter? Do they improve fluid intelligence?

Basically, No.

A 2007 study published in Behavioral and Brain Sciencesassessed the impact of brain training games on fluid intelligence. After participants played Tetris--yes, Tetris--for several weeks, cortical thickness and cortical activity increased.

Both are signs of an increase in neural connections and learned expertise.In simple terms, their brains bulked up and got smarter.

But after those first few weeks, cortical thickness and activity started to decrease, eventually returning topre-Tetrismasterypursuit levels--even though their skill levels remained high.Participants didn't lose brain power.

Instead, their brainsbecame so efficient at playing Tetristhose increased neural connections were no longer necessary. Usingmore mental energy was no longer necessary. As with most things, once they kinda figured it out,it got easy.

Unfortunately, no matter how much work it took to learn new information or gain new skills, "easy" doesn't helpimprovefluid intelligence. Once knowledge or skill is in your pocket, you certainly benefit from the increase in crystallized intelligence.

But your fluid intelligence soon returns to a morebaseline level.

That's the problem with brain training games.Solving Sudoku puzzles, andonly solving Sudoku puzzles, won't improve my friend's fluid intelligence in any other areas.

It only makes him better at solving Sudoku puzzles.

Learning how to use a new inventory management system will improve your fluid intelligence,until you've mastered it. Setting up Quickbooks for a new business will improve your fluid intelligence,until you've mastered the accounting process basics.

Once you achieve a level of comfort, your brain no longer has to work as hard,and all that new mental musclegained starts to atrophy.

Stay Uncomfortable.

Easy: Once you've mastered a new game, a new process, a new skill, a new anything--move on to something new.

At work. At home. Anywhere. Just keep challenging yourself.

Not only will you pocket a constant flow of new information and skill, yourbrain will stay "bulkedup" and forging new neural connections,making it easier to keep learning and growing.

And then there's this: The more you know, the more you can leverage the power of associative learning--theprocess of relating something new to something you already know.

Not in a Pavlov's dog kind of way, but by learning the relationship between seemingly unrelated things.In simple terms, whenever you say, "Oh, that makes sense:Thisis basicallylikethat," you're using associative learning.

The more you learn, themore likely you will be able to associate "old" knowledge to new things.Which means you only have to learn differences or nuances. And you'll be able to apply greater context, which also helps with memory storage and retrieval,to the new information you learn.

All of which makes learning even easier, which research showswill result in your being able tolearn even more quickly--and retain a lot more.

So if you like brain training games, master one andthen move on to another. And another.

Better yet, keep pushing yourself to learn new things about your business, your customers, your industry, etc.

Not only will that help you become more successful, you'll also get to improve your crystallized intelligence and fluid intelligence--which will surely help you become even more successful.

Where win-wins are concerned, that's a tough one to beat.

Your Healthy Family: Study – Two-Thirds of Seniors Won’t Seek Treatment for Depression – KOAA.com Colorado Springs and Pueblo News

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH A new nationwide poll, the GeneSight Mental Health Monitor, shows that nearly two-thirds (61%) of Americans age 65 or older who have concerns about having depression will not seek treatment. In fact, nearly 1 in 3 (33%) seniors who are concerned they might be suffering from depression believe they can snap out of it on their own.

The pull yourself up by your bootstraps mindset of some seniors and reluctance to talk about mental health are hindering them from getting the help they need especially now when the pandemic is having an enormous impact on the mental health of older Americans, said Dr. Mark Pollack, chief medical officer of Myriad Neuroscience, makers of the GeneSight test. People will seek treatment for conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. Depression is no different. It is an illness that can and should be treated.

Yet, while depression is a condition that needs to be treated:

61% of respondents who are concerned they might have depression would not treat it because my issues arent that bad.

About 4 in 10 (39%) of these consumers think they can manage depression without a doctors help.

In my experience, there is a commonly held view that depression is a normal part of aging; it is not, said Dr. Parikshit Deshmukh, CEO and medical director of Balanced Wellbeing LLC in Oxford, Florida, which provides psychiatric and psychotherapy services to nursing and assisted living facilities. Ive found older adults have a very difficult time admitting that they have depression. When they do acknowledge it, they are still reluctant to start treatment for a wide variety of reasons.

Depression remains a taboo topic among older Americans, despite about one-third of those over the age of 65 who are concerned they have depression recognizing that depression has interfered with their relationships and their ability to enjoy activities.

There is such a stigma about depression among people my age, said Carmala Walgren, a 74-year-old resident of New York. I am proof that you do not have to accept living with depression. Although it may not be easy to find treatment that helps you with your symptoms without causing side effects, it is certainly worth it.

Walgrens doctor used information from the results of her GeneSight test, a genetic test that identifies potential gene-drug interactions for depression medications, to help inform Walgrens medication selection.

The GeneSight test made such a difference in my life, said Walgren. My doctor has used the test results to find medications that helped me.

The GeneSight Mental Health Monitor is a nationwide survey of US adults conducted by Acupoll from August 12-September 27, 2020. The survey was conducted among a statistically representative sample of US adults age 18+, including a US representative sample of adults age 65 and older. The margin of error in survey results for those Age 65+ who are concerned they may have depression but have not been diagnosed is +/-5%.
