SUMMARY:Presentation:CCN Forum:  Enhancing Neuroplasticity in Aging using Cognitive Training and Neuromodulation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nCognitive performance depends on the brain’s ability to recruit neural circuits specialized for the execution of the task at hand. This ability decreases with physiological aging and is further impacted by neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and its clinical precursor\, mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Can we harness the brain’s plasticity to mitigate this functional decline? In this talk\, I will present novel evidence for training and neuromodulation-induced plasticity in “normal” and pathological aging. First\, I will examine how cognitive training improves working memory (WM) in cognitively intact older adults. I will show that WM training can change brain activity in a direction consistent with improved neural efficiency while preserving the older adults’ more integrated and overall costly functional architecture compared to younger adults. Second\, I will examine how neuromodulation alters functional network architecture in MCI. I will show that high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation can increase the functional distinctiveness of task-relevant networks in patients with MCI\, elevating it to levels similar to those of healthy controls. I will conclude by presenting future research directions aimed to investigate regional and global mechanisms of neural plasticity induced by cognitive training and neuromodulation in MCI. Clarification of these mechanisms will be critically helpful for predicting the risk of progression from MCI to dementia and for tailoring remedial interventions in MCI.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Root-of-unity asymptotics of the 4d superconformal index and AdS/CFT
DESCRIPTION:It has been recently understood that BPS AdS5 black holes are encoded in a certain partition function (known as the 4d superconformal index) of the N=4 super-Yang-Mills\, in the limit where the \"complexified temperature\" approaches 2\pi i. In this seminar we discuss limits where the complexified temperature approaches rational multiples of 2\pi i (hence the associated fugacity nears a root of unity). We will find infinitely-many saddles different from the black holes\, and discuss the analogy with the better-known AdS3/CFT2 setting where also infinitely-many saddles arise in a so-called Farey Tail expansion of the 2d superconformal index.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Reading Women’s Lives (Memoirs): New Edition!
DESCRIPTION:This is a new edition of the 2020-2021 women's memoirs class. Each month instructor Beth Spencer will send out ahead of class three excerpts from memoirs that speak to a particular theme.\nAlthough not a writing class\, participants will be expected to write a brief response to a theme-focused trigger question ahead of class. Readings will be discussed by the whole group\, followed by small group discussions of writing. Possible themes include overcoming challenges\; relationship with food\; immigrant experiences.\nBeth Spencer is a retired geriatric social worker with 25 years of university teaching experience and several years of leading OLLI classes. This study group will meet Friday January 21\, February 18\, March 18 and April 22.\nPre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Illuminating the Mechanisms Underlying Great Transformations in Early Mammalian Evolution
DESCRIPTION:The Mesozoic–Cenozoic transition was an extremely turbulent interval defined by one of the most severe mass extinctions in Earth’s history—the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) mass extinction—and was associated with rising mountain ranges\, waxing and waning seas\, and fluctuating climates. Mammalian evolution during this interval was similarly dynamic—once-dominant ‘archaic’ lineages went extinct\, while new groups arose and diversified. Indeed\, many of the biological traits that facilitated the mammalian rise to prominence in modern-day ecosystems trace their roots back to the Mesozoic–Cenozoic transition. In this talk\, I will outline key features of my research program\, which aims to elucidate the intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of these great transformations in early mammalian evolution. The intrinsic perspective focuses on the role that changes in behavior\, life history\, masticatory systems\, and locomotion played in promoting or inhibiting the diversification of major mammalian groups. The extrinsic perspective focuses on the role that mountain uplift\, and associated changes to river systems and climate\, played in the diversification of mammals across the K–Pg boundary. This two-pronged approach is grounded in paleontological and geological fieldwork\, the study of museum specimens\, and is fundamentally collaborative\, involving diverse analytical techniques and colleagues spanning the fields of paleontology\, geology\, and evolutionary biology. Ultimately\, my goal is to use this integrative and interdisciplinary research program to illuminate the mechanisms underlying patterns of biodiversity in deep time.\n\nIf you wish to attend remotely: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98984587392

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Diplomacy on the Korean Peninsula
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event open to the general public. Prior to January 21\,\nthose who register will receive Zoom webinar call-in information.\n\nThis webinar is made possible through a grant from the Korea Foundation.\n\nFormer Deputy Secretary of State and former U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun will discuss diplomatic options on the Korean Peninsula and the implications for relations between the United States and the Republic of Korea. This conversation is moderated by Professor John Ciorciari.\n\nFrom the speakers' bio \nStephen E. Biegun has more than three decades of international affairs experience in government and the private sector\, including high-level government service with the Department of State\, the White House\, and the United States Congress.\n\nIn 2021\, Mr. Biegun concluded his most recent government service as the Deputy Secretary of State\, to which he was confirmed by by the Senate with a strong bipartisan vote of 90-3. Prior to that role\, he served as U.S. Special Representative for North Korea\, directing all U.S. policy on North Korea\, leading negotiations\, and spearheading U.S. diplomatic efforts on behalf of the Secretary of State.\n\nBiegun has three decades of experience in the Executive and Legislative Branches in government and in the private sector. As national security advisor to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist\, he provided analysis and strategic planning for the U.S. Senate’s consideration of foreign policy\, defense and intelligence matters\, and international trade agreements. Prior to that\, Biegun worked in the White House from 2001-2003 as Executive Secretary of the National Security Council.\n\nBefore joining the White House staff\, Biegun served for fourteen years as a foreign policy advisor to members of both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate\, as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (1999-2000) and as a senior staff member of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs. From 1992 to 1994\, he served in Moscow\, Russia as the Resident Director in the Russian Federation for the International Republican Institute\, a democracy-building organization established under the National Endowment for Democracy.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics
DESCRIPTION:See Jane Run: How Exposure to Women Candidates Affects Adolescents' Political Attitudes\n\nDoes the presence of women candidates affect adolescents’ attitudes about women as political leaders? Using both a survey experiment and an observational survey\, this paper examines whether young people become more likely to see women as possessing leadership traits\, less sexist\, and more likely to think that there should be more women in office. The results show that it is Republican teens whose attitudes are most likely to change—more often\, Republican girls rather than boys. Furthermore\, the views of Republican teens (girls and boys) are especially responsive to the presence of Republican women candidates.\n\n*Please reach out to Jade Burt (jadeburt@umich.edu) or Shayla Olson (sfolson@umich.edu) to get the password.
