Synchronizing Brain Rhythms Restores Adaptive Control in Schizophrenia

The ability to exert control over our behavior is fundamental to human cognition. This ability allows us to break out of routines and habits, adapting to new and ever changing environments. For people with psychiatric and neurological disorders, impairments in adaptive control are pervasive. Schizophrenia patients in particular show deficits in reacting to errors. These enduring difficulties with executive control mechanisms that allow us to adapt have direct implications for the lives of these patients in the real world. In this talk, I will present unique causal evidence for the neural mechanisms of adaptive control that distinguish healthy people from those with schizophrenia. I will show how we have combined direct-current stimulation to safely, noninvasively, and casually manipulate neural activity in a targeted brain region with measurements of electrical brain activity that are hypothesized to index the large-scale neural networks underlying adaptive control. Our results have implications for theories of executive control and cortical dysconnectivity in schizophrenia, as well as the development of new, drug-free, intervention therapies for psychiatric and neurological patients with cognitive deficits.

Successful Aging is something everyone seems to talk about, but what exactly does that mean?

Denial, like ostriches with our heads in the sand, is how most people and families age. It is convenient that we are so busy, because none of us really want to talk about how we are getting older or how our loved ones are getting older. So most of us simply don’t, until there is a crisis. When we don’t face aging head on, we are more likely to get manipulated by our own guilt and the guilt of others. There is another way!

 Join Gretchen Geagan, Certified Professional Geriatric Care Manager and CEO of Life-Links Care Management and Advocacy, as she provides specific ways you may choose to age successfully through information and communication.

The Center for Medicine, Health, and Society hosts a lecture by Professor Nikolas Rose of the Department of Social Science, Health, and Medicine, King's College London. The topic is Our Brains, Ourselves? Neuroscience, neuropolitics, and technologies of the neurobiological self.
