Biopsychology Colloquium: History of Psychology: The Psychological Origins of the Scientific Method (September 7, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86198 86198-21632081@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 7, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Department of Psychology

The idea of a single scientific method, based in hypothesis-testing and shared across sub-fields, is about a hundred years old. In this talk, Dr. Cowles grounds this view of science in the early history of evolutionary psychology, showing how an account of animal learning was put into practice in the classroom and eventually solidified into "the scientific method" still widely invoked today. Based on his recent book (The Scientific Method: An Evolution of Thinking from Darwin to Dewey), the talk concludes with thoughts on the fate of this view of science in an age of alternative facts.

Biopsychology Colloquium: How Squirrels Sleep: Neuroethology and the Development of Countermeasures for Astronauts (September 21, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86590 86590-21635105@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 21, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Department of Psychology

There is a strong need for more relevant animal models that behave like humans to better understand how physiology is altered in analog environments (e.g., long-duration space flight). The free-living squirrel is one such candidate, as they are diurnal, non-hibernating mammals that engage in complex social and physical behaviors in a three-dimensional arboreal landscape. My interest focuses on the potential neuromodulatory countermeasures that could be realized during sleep, specifically, the closed-loop enhancement of slow-wave activity (or “deep sleep”). I will first show how squirrels sleep through a 6-year retrospective study on accelerometer data from the Canadian Yukon. Next, I will introduce a wireless, implantable bio-logger toolset I developed at Michigan to record neural activity and then present preliminary, first-of-their-kind data from freely behaving squirrels. Finally, I will describe my audio-based countermeasure deployment and my aims to measure its effect.

Biopsychology Colloquium: Loss of Control in Addiction: The Search for an Adequate Theory and the Case for Intellectual Humility (September 28, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86591 86591-21635107@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 28, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Some theorists say that addiction involves loss of control over using drugs while others say control is preserved. In this chapter, I disagree with both sides, not so much in substance, but rather in epistemic tenor. Both sides, I argue, run well ahead of what the evidence allows. I frame the discussion in terms of a key division in human motivational architecture: We not only have desires, we also have powerful capacities to exercise top-down regulation over these desires. I review a number of influential theories of addiction, both ones that favor loss of control and ones that deny it, and I find that they all have a massive gap: They lack an adequate explanation for when and how top-down regulation over inappropriate desires succeeds and fails. Without this critical piece, we simply cannot have much confidence in these views.

Biopsychology Colloquium: Capuchins, cognition, and conservation: Introducing the Taboga Research Exchange (October 5, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86592 86592-21635108@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 5, 2021 12:00pm

Organized By: Department of Psychology

Some Capuchins are notable for their relatively large brains, complex social traditions, and tool use. These traits are absent in some of their closest phylogenetic relatives, making capuchins an important taxon for understanding why some primates (like humans) favored cognitive solutions to their social and ecological challenges. However, we know surprisingly little about how capuchins use cognition in the wild. With this new project, we focus on the use of social cognition in wild white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus) of Costa Rica. We use a combination of observation and playback experiments to understand both the depth (how detailed is their social knowledge?) and breadth (how far does their social knowledge extend?) within and between social groups. We take advantage of our newly established field site, the Taboga Research Exchange (T-REX) where ~10 capuchin groups live in an isolated ‘island’ of tropical dry forest surrounded by sugar-cane farms. The self-contained nature of the forest allows us to precisely track multiple monkey groups, while the available facilities (electricity, internet, endocrine laboratory) enable us to operate much like a captive laboratory with real time analysis. In addition to the capuchin research, we are developing T-REX as the first of its kind: a net-zero field station and field school where we, along with our colleagues from the Universidad Técnica Nacional and SEAS, are piloting and demonstrating sustainable solutions and biological methods.

Biopsychology Colloquium: Neuroimaging insights into substance abuse (October 26, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86593 86593-21635109@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 26, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Department of Psychology

The adolescent period is a time when most substance use is initiated and also a time when neural alterations in frontal control and subcortical incentive systems are taking place. Evidence from cross-sectional studies is accumulating for an imbalance between subcortical, dopamine-related activation and prefrontal control, which has been proposed to underlie the impulsive, risky decision making associated with adolescence. Adult substance abusers have alterations in this circuitry, but it remains unclear whether these alterations reflect pre-existing traits predisposing to substance use or are secondary to substance exposure. The talk will focus on research that probes the neural systems hypothesized to underlie the development of risk for substance use disorders. Findings from the Michigan Longitudinal Study, a prospective high-risk family study, will be presented, and the nationwide Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study will be discussed.

Biopsychology Colloquium: Experience-dependent changes to striatal circuit function and implications for goal-directed learning (November 9, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86595 86595-21635111@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 9, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Department of Psychology

A range of experiences including drug use, particular diets or exposure to chronic stress promote habitual behavioural control. Habits provide a rapid, efficient means for decision making however, this comes with a loss in behavioural flexibility. Although goal-directed learning and habit learning are known to rely on parallel but distinct striatal circuits, little is known about how experiences that accelerate habit learning alter activity in these circuits to promote premature habitual control. The shift from flexible to habitual control could be the result of direct effects on the habit system which strengthen stimulus-response learning. Alternatively, the effects could be indirect, acting instead to undermine function of, and control by the goal-directed system thus allowing early control by the habit system. These possibilities are difficult to differentiate with behavioural tools alone. Using a task that distinguishes flexible actions from habits, we have found that chronic access to an obseogenic diet promotes habitual behavioural control. I will discuss our investigations into changes to glia and neurons in dorsomedial (DMS) and dorsolateral striatum (DLS), regions known to control flexible and habitual behaviours, respectively. Diet-induced changes are largely confined to the DMS suggesting that diet dysregulates the normal function of the goal-directed DMS system potentially allowing early habitual control mediated by the DLS circuit. Distinguishing between excessive habitual control and weakened goal-directed control has important implications for understanding failures of behavioural control and the development of strategies for improving behavioural flexibility.

I am Rob Wells formerly Sgt. Wells. I served 21 years in the Army National Guard in a communications unit. I spent the last year of my career in Iraq in 2003. Living in a war zone for a year will forever change you and you will not be the same person who left.
I want to discuss what it is like to live with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder if you suffering from it or how you can help someone going through it. I hope that others can be given a glimmer of hope and the ability to understand why someone living with this does the things that they do. I will discuss the things that have help me the most and the struggles I have had. I am willing to open up the darkest part of my life so that hopefully someone can avoid some of what I have lived with.

Biopsychology Colloquium: Benefits and limits of ketamine therapy in depression (November 16, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89203 89203-21661117@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 16, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Biopsychology

Clinical depression can be highly treatment resistant in some cases, but ketamine has been shown to relieve depressive symptoms in even many treatment-refractory cases. Ketamine appears to work via a novel mechanism since it 1) treats many patients not affected by other treatments and 2) has a temporal profile of action unlike any other medication: a drug metabolized within hours has rapid-onset action that lasts for days. However, despite it's efficacy over initial weeks of treatment, over months, it's efficacy falls off and further work is needed to best determine how to use this short and medium term efficacy, or to determine how to lengthen it. Importantly, the new mechanism of action of ketamine opens up new avenues to understand the mechanisms of depression, which may lead to yet more novel therapies.

“Gone to the Village is a unique and powerful documentary, beautifully filmed, of the elaborate funerary rites for the Queen Mother of the Asante in Ghana. Leading Asante scholar Kwasi Ampene directs and narrates with the authority, gaze and sensitivity of a true insider, with stunning footage of the rich cultural traditions of the Asante people. Filmed on location in Kumase during the funeral, we witness traditions that have stubbornly and proudly resisted the onslaught of colonial rule and globalization. Through the film, we learn about the history of the Asante as well as the central role of women in this matriarchal society. The scenes of dance, song, drumming, proverbs, and dress code are of exceptional and exquisite beauty, unprecedented in the African continent.”
