Career Development Center – 625 N. Jordan Ave.
The Global Careers series, which is run by the Career Development Center, is devoted to providing information to IU students in an effort to increase their awareness of international career opportunities. These events allow students to form networking relationships with employers who have ties to the international sector as well as provide students with role models and information about global careers.
Please join IU students, faculty, and career professionals with interests in Africa at the Africa Career Night for an evening of discussion and networking. Guest speakers will participate in a panel discussion focusing on their career paths, opportunities within their organization, and advice for students who wish to work in the region. Light regional refreshments will be served and the opportunity to network with the panelists will follow.
We ask that students please RSVP through their myIUcareers account, accessible at http://www.indiana.edu/~career/.
Panelists will include:
* Kelly S. Cambell, The Village Experience (Free Trade, Nonprofit, and Tourism)
* Bryan Stuart, One Laptop per Child

“Cellular and Molecular Impact of Elucidating Brain Disorders with Complex Genetic Architectures:
Examples from Addiction and Ability to Quit Smoking "
Wednesday, October 20, 2010
4:00 p.m.
Psychological & Brain Sciences Building
Room PY101
IUB
Abstract: “I will review evidence that common brain disorders, and the costs attributable to them, receive substantial heritable contributions. Large contributions of polygenic influences (as well as rare variants) contrast with the modest contributions from Mendelian (single gene) and oligogenic (major gene) genetic architectures. I will focus on vulnerability to develop dependence on an addictive substance and ability to quit smoking, two phenotypes that are influenced by complex genetics that we have studied using GWA in multiple samples. The substantial (and overlapping) genetic contributions to these phenotypes appear to come from polygenic variants in genes that are largely expressed in brain and likely to contribute to individual differences in its wiring, molecular biology, gene regulation and neurotransmission. I will review the challenges and opportunities provided by the vast amounts of currently available GWA data for studies that help to understand the cellular and molecular bases for brain activities and brain disorders. Translational, post GWAS studies that elucidate the ways in which such polygenic variants influence the brain and behavior provide a rich source for increasing understanding of the brain in ways that can provide direct relevance for understanding human brain disorders.”

All Welcome: Neuroscience talk - Wed., Oct 13 - Dr. Sliman Bensmaia
N650 Neuroscience talk - Wednesday, October 13 Psychology 101 at 4:00 pm
Sliman Bensmaia, Ph.D.
Program in Neurobiology
Neuroscience at the University of Chicago
will present a talk on:
“The Neural Mechanisms of Tactile Motion Integration”
Abstract: How are local motion signals integrated to form a global motion percept? We investigate the neural mechanisms of tactile motion integration by presenting tactile gratings and plaids, using the tactile analogue of a visual monitor, while recording the responses evoked in somatosensory cortical neurons. In parallel psychophysical experiments, we measure the perceived direction of the gratings and plaids. We identify a population of somatosensory neurons that exhibit integration properties analogous to those observed in visual area MT. We find that the responses of these neurons can account for the perceived direction of the stimuli across all stimulus conditions tested. We show that the preferred direction of the neurons and the perceived direction of the stimuli can be predicted from the weighted average of the directions of the individual stimulus features (edges and intersections).

Translational Science: Everything you wanted to know!
Dear PBS faculty, research scientists, and students,
You are invited to attend the 1st annual retreat of the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute at IU Bloomington on October 18, 2010 from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM. The Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (I-CTSI) administers over $3.5 million in research and training awards to IU, Purdue, and Notre Dame, with the aim of accelerating the rate of translation of basic research into clinical care and policy
The agenda for the upcoming meeting (which is attached and pasted below) includes presentations describing the mission, resources, and funding opportunities offered through the NIH-funded I-CTSI. This morning session will be held in Alumni Hall at the Indiana Memorial Union (IMU). A complimentary lunch will be offered between 11:45 and 1:00 PM in the IMU Solarium, followed by a symposium in which our IUB colleagues will illustrate their use of I-CTSI resources and their approach to translational science. The meeting will conclude with six thematic breakout sessions that will promote discussion about how to capitalize on I-CTSI resources and engage in translational research.
Please register for the conference at the following site, even if you are able to attend only a portion of the meeting:
www.indianactsi.org/IUBretreat
In addition, we encourage poster presentations during lunch (11:45 - 1:00 PM in the Solarium). Because the meeting will draw faculty and students from a wide range of disciplines and units, this is a unique opportunity to move outside of our silos and see the breadth of research conducted on our campus. We welcome new posters as well as those recently presented at scientific meetings. If you let me know of your intention to hang a poster, we'll be sure to have enough poster boards.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions about the upcoming meeting or the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute ( www.indianactsi.org).

with thousands of other walkers nationwide to raise money for AFSP's
vital research and education programs to prevent suicide and save

Colloquium presented by the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences and the SPHS PhD Organization
What: Colloquium presented by the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences and the SPHS PhD Organization
Where: Speech and Hearing Building, Room C141
When: Monday, September 27, 4-5 pm
Speaker: Jaimie Gilbert, Post-Doctoral Fellow, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences
Title: Speech Perception: Additional Cues, Adverse Conditions
Abstract: Two studies investigating speech perception of individuals with normal hearing, listening under adverse conditions, will be discussed. First, electrophysiological data will be presented detailing an effect of seeing facial motion while listening to spoken syllables in noise. Secondly, preliminary data from an on-going experiment will be presented. This experiment utilizes a screener version of the Perceptually Robust English Sentence Test (PRESTO) to investigate individual differences in perceiving high-variability speech (talker, dialect, content) in multi-talker babble.
