Fri 24 Feb 16:30: The Neuroscience of Reading: Tracing words from the page through the brain
Reading is a remarkable skill that is easy to take for granted. Right now the image of this paragraph is focused on your eyes’ retinas, yet when you read these words it feels like you’re pulling in only one word at a time. This means that while you’re reading, somewhere between the eye and your conscious experience most of the information on this page is lost. I will discuss how we have been using functional MRI and behavioral methods to show how, while reading words, the brain’s attentional mechanism transforms the inherently parallel stream of incoming visual information to support the serial process of reading.

Thu 09 Feb 12:30: Something is moving in Catatonia.
Catatonia remains a very enigmatic neuropsychiatric disorder. Probably, its own conception is confusing, victim of a problematic history. Initially conceptualised as an independent clinical entity, catatonia was quickly amalgamated with schizophrenia in the central European tradition initiated by Kraepelin and Bleuler and confined there. Later, it has been associated to affective disorders, mostly by the Anglo-Saxon school (Adams et al). But more recently, it has been associated to several psychiatric and non-psychiatric disorders. In 2022, the ICD -11 (in February) and DMS -5-TR (in June) have updated their criteria and views on catatonia. In this lecture, and the take home message, I will first define catatonia as if it were a distinct entity, to illustrate the clinical phenomena in catatonia, to later expand to catatonia as a syndrome, with its different causes. We will then move into the epidemiology, pathophysiology and treatment of catatonia.

Fri 19 May 16:30: Distributed brain network activities in memory resilient to extinction The host for this talk is David Belin
Certain memories, including those of drug experience, overcome their extinction to invigorate unwanted behaviours. These powerful memories engage many brain regions; however, whether these regional activities are collectively organized for robust expression remains unknown. In this seminar, I will present ongoing work revealing the oscillatory structure and anatomical pathway of a neural pattern that stitches together brain-distributed activities in extinction-resilient retrieval of cocaine-paired memory. Binding together distributed brain networks in this temporally-structured manner may constitute an organizational principle of maladaptive memories.
