SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Predictive analysis and deep learning of functional MRI in Alzheimer's disease
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAlzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia pose a significant burden to individuals and public health. AD is expected to grow in prevalence in the coming decades due to the aging population. Brain atrophy is a major component of AD pathology and can occur before symptoms of cognitive impairment. However\, pathological brain atrophy and symptoms of cognitive impairment may be a result of many years of disease impacts. Evidence supports the need for early detection of impacted neurocircuitry to foresee future progression to advanced stages of AD and develop treatments. This dissertation examines predictive modeling and deep learning methods to identify brain-behavior relationships and learn low-dimensional representations of brain activity from MR imaging data. The dissertation and methods are separated into four parts.  \n\nPart one of this work examines multivariate analysis approaches applied to functional connectivity from subjects with an early clinical phenotype of AD\, mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A regression framework using partial least squares and feature selection demonstrated significant brain-behavior relationships with measures of cognition and memory. The results also confirm other findings that ecologically relevant task-based connectivity serves as a ``stress-test\" for memory-related deficits such as those observed in MCI. This approach elucidated brain regions that may be implicated in MCI and warrant future study (superior temporal gyrus\, inferior parietal lobule\, and superior frontal gyrus). Part two extends the multivariate analyses studied in part one to an additional brain imaging modality\, arterial spin labeling (ASL). Cerebral blood flow (CBF) as measured by ASL demonstrated brain-behavior relationships with composite measures of memory and learning in a cohort along the spectrum of AD\, demonstrating that CBF data warrant further investigation as a predictor in this application.\n\nParts three and four utilize a variational autoencoder (VAE) model\, a deep learning approach to encode latent representations that aim to disentangle sources of fMRI signal. A surface-based VAE trained on only healthy controls is shown to be generalizable to patients with known AD pathology. The results maintained individual separation and high input/decoder output spatial reconstruction correlation of r=0.8 across all three groups. Part four extended the surface-based model used in part three to a volumetric fMRI approach. Similarly to the surface-based model\, high reconstruction accuracy (NRMSE=0.68) and temporal correlation (r=0.8) between input and decoder output are demonstrated. This approach is more readily applicable to 3D fMRI data as compared to the surface-based model. \n\nIn summary\, this work has proposed and developed multivariate and deep learning analysis techniques for brain imaging data in the context of AD with the ultimate goal of improving detection and intervention for early pathological changes in the brain.\n\nZoom Link: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIpcOigrjIsHtJq_xJ1aboK1T0PdWpTkBP5\n*Registration Required\n\nCommittee Chair(s):\nDr. Scott J.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Brown Bag: Children's and adults' understanding and learning about genetic inheritance
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Genetic inheritance is a fundamental concept in biology\, as it is the mechanism for the transmission of traits. Therefore\, understanding genetic inheritance is pivotal for science education and biological reasoning. Prior work on children’s understanding of genetic inheritance suggests that children initially have a “mother bias” such that\, if parents have different traits\, children think that offspring will have the same trait as the mother rather than the father. However\, this pattern might be due to prior work only allowing children to select one possible offspring. In this presentation\, I will present two novel tasks to assess children's and adults' beliefs about inheritance. Using these tasks\, I show that even 4-year-old children have a more sophisticated understanding of inheritance than previously believed\, and that this understanding is constrained by different biases than those identified in prior work. I will also show how these biases are present for different traits and animals\, are resistant to instruction\, and persevere into adulthood. These new insights inform our understanding of children's biological reasoning and can be used to design new genetics lessons.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Journey of Self-Discovery
DESCRIPTION:To experience an interesting piece of art is to feel ALIVE. It propels one out of reality (for a moment) and transcends the spirit to a special place much like a spiritual awakening.\n\nI am interested in the creative process even more than the final product. The process of art making is therapeutic and one of self-discovery. It is a chance to play like a child and to allay fears/worries and to lose the confines of the world around you. It offers you a chance to dream\, dance and explore unknown worlds.\n\nThis exhibit is mainly focused on this creative process which I call the ‘Journey of Self-Discovery. Each painting has been created according to this process. Mindfulness is the goal.\n\nWe all see things from different angles based on our own individual experiences. I encourage you to look at things from your own perspective – each piece invites you to consider your own viewpoint\, a chance to let go and experience some unique personal other-worldly environments. Enjoy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What I Talk about when I Talk about Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Arabic is unconditionally the national language of Palestinians\, but for many it is no longer their mother-tongue. More than a century after the early waves of immigration to the Americas\, and more than seven decades after the Nakba of 48\, generations of Palestinians have grown up in a variety of different contexts within Israel-Palestine and the world at large. This ongoing scattered state has led to the proliferation of Palestinian culture as it is simultaneously growing in multiple directions\, depending on geographical\, political\, and lingual contextualization. The Palestinian story no longer exists exclusively in Arabic. A new generation of Palestinian and Palestinian-descended writers and artists from both Latin and North America\, Scandinavia\, and Europe at large\, as well as Israel-Palestine are bringing stories of their heritage and the Palestinian nation into a variety of languages such Spanish\, Italian\, English\, Danish\, and Hebrew—among so many other languages. \n\nIn this talk\, Maurice Ebileeni explores how the Palestinian homeland is being imagined in multiple languages from a variety of positions both locally and globally and wishes to discuss unsettling questions about this current situation. He also invites us to look to the future to speculate about how a Palestinian nation might still house the notion of home for an increasingly diverse Palestinian population.\n\n***********************************************\n\nMaurice Ebileeni is a member of faculty in the English department at the University of Haifa. He is the author of Conrad\, Faulkner\, and the Problem of Nonsense and Being There\, Being Here: Palestinian Writings in the World\, and his work on Palestinian literature and culture has appeared in Comparative Literature\, The Journal of Postcolonial Writing\, Interventions\, and Hebrew-language Ot\, among others.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cognitive Science Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Title:\nGiving Structure to the Cognitive Map\n\nAbstract:\nThe cognitive map within the minds of animals is the mental process of perceiving and arranging relevant environmental features upon which behavioral decision making processes can be built (Tolman 1948). The previous 5-decades have seen investigation of the neural processes that underlie animals’ ability to cognitively map spaces primarily through recording the electrical activity of neurons as animals navigate a physical space (O’Keefe 1974). Among the most prominent features of the cognitive mapping system within the brain are the discovery of place cells which respond to an animals’ specific location in space\, and lay the foundation of seeing the hippocampus as being foundational to the cognitive map (O’Keefe & Nadel 1978).\n\nRecently more attention has been placed on how the cognitive mapping system of the brain encodes for structural features (Behrens et al. 2018). However\, little research has gone into how structural features directly interact with spatial representations of the hippocampal system. Data presented here demonstrates that while CA1 place-representations are relatively unimpacted by the structure of the space the animal is in\, one synapse away in dorsal subiculum\, a mapping of structure emerges within the activity patterns of individual and populations of neurons. These results show the importance of environmental structure when studying spatial navigation\, and helps elucidate the relatively understudied brain region of the subiculum.
