Speech and Auditory Memory: How Deep is Their Connection? Mortimer Mishkin, PhD, Bethesda, MD, USA
Lecture Abstract: This talk revolves around two seemingly unrelated findings. The first is the momentous discovery of the FOXP2 gene, essential for oromotor articulation, an ability that likely evolved within the hominid line in just the last 300,000 years. The second finding, less momentous but more puzzling, is that, unlike humans, monkeys seem unable to store long-term memories in audition, even though they are easily able to do so in vision and touch. Together, these two pieces of evidence suggest that speech and long-term auditory memory may be indissolubly linked. An initial test provides this suggestion with some preliminary support.
Bio: Mortimer Mishkin received an AB from Dartmouth College (1946) and an MA (1949) and PhD (1951) from McGill University (MA with D.O. Hebb; PhD with H.E. Rosvold and K.H. Pribram).  In 1955, after completing postdoctoral research with both Pribram at the Institute of Living, Hartford, CT, and H.L. Teuber at Bellevue Medical Center, New York University, he joined Rosvold at NIMH, where, in 1980, he became chief of the Laboratory of Neuropsychology (LN), and, in 1994, associate director for basic research at NIMH.  He relinquished both titles in 1997, remaining chief of LN’s Section on Cognitive Neuroscience, acting chief of LN, and visiting professor at University College London Institute of Child Health.

Leslie Ungerleider, Laboratory of Brain & Cognition, NIMH, Bethesda, MD, USA
Lecture Abstract:
Face recognition is a remarkable ability, given the tens of thousands of different faces we can recognize, sometimes even many years later after a single encounter.  This unique ability likely depends on specialized neural machinery dedicated to face processing.  This talk will focus on the network dynamics among regions mediating the recognition of both face identity and facial expression in the primate brain.

17:15-18:00  Keynote lectures: Spectral Fingerprints of Cognitive Processing, Andreas Engel, Dept. of Neurophysiology and Pathophysiology University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany

Lecture Abstract:
Cognition results from large-scale interactions among functionally specialized but widely distributed brain regions. The talk will focus on recent studies that exploit correlated neuronal oscillations to characterize such large-scale cortical interactions in the human brain. It will be argued that large-scale oscillatory coupling provides a level of description that is particularly fruitful for identifying unifying principles underlying cognitive processing.

Lecture Abstract:
What is a perceptual object? Intuitively, it is the holistic identity preserved over shape-changing transformations. According to the global-first topological approach, this core intuitive notion of an object can be characterized as topological invariants, such as holes. Behavioral experiments demonstrated that changes in topological properties disturbed object continuity, leading to the perception of an emergence of a new object; and fMRI experiments showed that the topological changes activated the anterior temporal lobe and amygdale.

Lecture Abstract:
Neuroplasticity-based therapeutics strongly rely on the neurophysiological and brain imaging-based descriptions of neurological abnormalcy as it applies to specific clinical indications.  It also provides us with a powerful basis for confirming that a specific therapeutic approach is driving appropriate neurological 'corrections'.  A consideration of some of the basic principles guiding this therapeutic approach shall be a lead-in to a specific example (schizophrenia) for which this approach is being applied.

Lecture Abstract:
Stereotactic coordinates provide a standard framework for reporting structural and functional neuroimaging results. Widespread adoption of this standard has created an extensive, diverse literature uniquely well-suited for large-scale data mining. In response, a family of statistical methods for coordinate-based meta-analysis (CBMA) have been developed. Collectively, CBMA methods provide data-driven hypothesis generation and neural system modeling, including emergent properties (e.g., meta-analytic connectivity maps). A particularly powerful application of CMBA is creation of models for constrained exploration of new primary data sets.
Biography:
Dr. Peter Fox is Director of the Research Imaging Institute and Professor of Radiology, Neurology, Psychiatry and Physiology at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. After a residency in Neurology, Dr. Fox trained in functional brain imaging under Dr. Marcus Raichle at Washington University.
