“Understanding how different languages coexist and interact in the human brain is important because it lays the groundwork for investigating the social benefits of being bilingual.
San Diego State University’s Karen Emmorey, who studied bilingual individuals fluent in English and ASL, collaborated on the research.”
“Is it possible to reverse the cognitive deficits seen in children exposed to alcohol in the womb?
San Diego State University psychology professor Jennifer Thomas has made this question a central focus of her life’s work. Thomas led the team that first studied how the essential nutrient choline, plentiful in food like eggs and liver, may improve the cognitive and behavioral function of a fetus or infant whose brain is impaired from prenatal exposure to alcohol.”
“To understand and quantify what goes wrong when people suffer from balance disorders, researchers must first understand what normal balance looks like in healthy people. Taking a huge step in that direction, a team including San Diego State University neuromechanics researcher Harsimran “Sim” Baweja recently published the largest-ever comprehensive database of normative balance.”
The SDSU Center for Autism and Developmental Disorders and Brain Developmental Imaging Laboratories (BDIL) are hosting an Autism Research Series: Discovery to Solutions event in collaboration with Autism Speaks, a national organization dedicated to advancing research into causes and better treatments for autism spectrum disorders, and increasing understanding and acceptance of autism spectrum disorders.

“What’s in your brain? New methods for the exploration of neuroimaging data”
The University of Michigan announces a training course in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Functional MRI has become an important addition to the toolbox of cognitive and affective neuroscientists, but substantial training is required to implement an fMRI experiment.
The University will offer a 2-week intensive course from August 6-17, 2018, that will train attendees on the motivation for using fMRI, the physics that underlies the technique, the design of experiments, the acquisition of data, the analysis of those data, and the interpretation of brain activations that result. The course is intended for potential users of the technique, including graduate and postdoctoral students, as well as established biomedical researchers who wish to incorporate this technique into their work.
Via the sponsorship of a grant from the National Institutes of Health, the course is able to enroll up to 25 students from outside the University of Michigan, and to support the travel and subsistence costs of those visitors. Entrance into the course is by application only.
