  • Neural mechanisms for auditory-vocal interaction in the marmoset brain
    • - Wang, Xiaoqin.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Dr. Xiaoqin Wang???s research focuses on the understanding of the structure and functions of the primate auditory cortex and the neural basis of vocal communication. He has developed a unique non-human primate neurophysiological and behavioral model to study these questions, using a highly vocal New World monkey, the common marmoset (callithrix jacchus). Using this model system, his laboratory has systematically studied neural coding properties of the auditory cortex in awake and behaving conditions and revealed specialized cortical representations of complex sound features such as pitch. His laboratory has also discovered neural mechanisms involved in vocal feedback control and self-monitoring during speaking. These results demonstrate that neural representations of complex acoustic environment in the auditory cortex result from transformations of acoustic signals to perceptual dimensions and such representations are modulated by motor(vocal) system during natural vocal behaviors. Using newly developed wireless neural recording techniques, his laboratory is currently studying neural processing in the brain when a subject engages in vocal communication with conspecifics.

    Dr. Xiaoqin Wang received B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Sichuan University (China) and M.S.E. degree in electrical engineering and computer science from University of Michigan. He began his study of the auditory system while pursuing his Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering at The Johns Hopkins University. He did his postdoctoral research on somatosensory and auditory cortical neurophysiology at University of California, San Francisco in the laboratory of Michael Merzenich. He joined the faculty of Biomedical Engineering Department at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1995 and is currently Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience and Otolaryngology. Dr. Wang is also the director of Tsinghua University (China) and Johns Hopkins University Joint Center for Biomedical Engineering Research.

  • Tao of Attributes (Day 1)
    • - Sponsored by GSA and NIH (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Conferences
    The intent of the workshop is to begin to explore the issues associated with the effective use of various aspects of individual identity (attributes) in Internet identity activities. A set of federal government use cases will drive discussions that look at the requirements in areas such as attribute aggregation from multiple sources, attribute metadata, rich attribute query languages, sources of authority schema management, LOA of attributes, privacy issues and user interfaces for privacy management, legal and policy issues with attribute exchanges, and other areas. The workshop is practical rather than theoretical and may set specific directions and further activities into motion.

  • NCI Communication Research Seminar: Using Survivor Stories and Minority Media to Help Eliminate Cancer Disparities
    • - Kreuter, Matthew.
      NCI Communication Research Seminar (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Special
    Dr. Kreuter will present and share findings from two cancer communication studies designed to explore ways to test disparity reducing interventions. The first study is the second phase of the highly successful Ozioma News Service for African American newspapers, focusing on localization of cancer news releases through a partnership with the American Cancer Society. The second study evaluates the effects of a new touch-screen, interactive cancer communication tool among African American women being treated for breast cancer. These studies are funded through NCI???s Centers of Excellence in Cancer Communication Research grant program. Sponsored by the NCI Communication Strategy Roundtable.

    Dr. Foley received her M.D. from Cornell University Medical College. She then completed both her residencies (in Genetics???Department of Medicine) and fellowship (in neurology) at The New York Hospital/Cornell Medical Center. She trained at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and became chief resident in neurology both at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and at Cornell. She remained at MSKCC when Dr. Jerry Posner, who then headed neurology at MSKCC, offered her a fellowship to study pain. In 1981, Dr. Foley was appointed chief of the newly formed Pain Service within the Department of Neurology at MSKCC. It was the first designated pain service in a cancer center in the United States. Dr. Foley was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science for her national and international efforts in the treatment of patients with cancer pain. She is currently medical director of the International Palliative Care Initiative of the Public Health Program of the Open Society Institute which advocates for the integration of palliative care into health systems globally. Dr. Foley chairs the International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care and is a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.

    Dr. Steven Ziegler is Director of the Immunology Program at Benaroya Research Institute. He graduated with honors from the University of Michigan in 1979, and in 1984 received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from UCLA. Following post-doctoral training at the University of Washington, Dr. Ziegler spent five years as a staff scientist at Immunex, followed by three years as the Director of Immunology/Molecular Biology at Darwin Molecular. He joined the Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason in 1997, where he is now a Full Member and the Director of the Immunology Program. He is a leading authority on the role of FoxP3 in the control of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cell and Th17 cell development and function. His group has also been investigating the role of thymic stromal lymphopoietin in the development of Th2-type immunity. His group showed that TSLP responses are absolutely required for the development of Th2-type allergic inflammation in mice. His current studies are focused on deciphering the regulation of TSLP gene expression, signal transduction from the TSLP receptor, and the identification and characterization of downstream mediators of TSLP-mediated inflammation. His group is also developing novel transgenic and knockout mice to understand the role of TSLP in respiratory virus infection. Steve is an excellent and highly entertaining speaker; so dont miss his exciting talk.
