Ned H. Kalin, M.D., February 2, 2021

"The Childhood Risk to Develop Anxiety and Depression:  A Translational Neuroscience Approach"

William K. Warren, Jr.  Frontiers in Neuroscience Lecture 
Virtual Presentation via Zoom (email for link)
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm     Program

Ned H. Kalin, M.D. is Hedberg Professor and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.  He is the Director of the HealthEmotions Research Institute and the Lane Neuroimaging Laboratory, a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin, and an affiliate scientist at the Wisconsin Reginal Primate Center and the Harlow Primate Laboratory.  He serves as the principal investigator for several ongoing NIH funded research projects and has published over 250 peer-reviewed articles related to the adaptive and maladaptive expression of emotion and anxiety, and the childhood risk to develop anxiety disorders and depression.  His research focuses on uncovering basic mechanisms that relate stress to the development of psychopathology and to understanding the mechanisms that cause some children to be vulnerable for the development of anxiety and depression.  The aim of his research is to develop novel, neuroscientifically-informed strategies for the treatment of anxiety disorders with a special focus on early life and preventive interventions for young children.  In addition to his research activities, he treats patients who suffer from anxiety and depression who are refractory to standard treatment.

Dr. Kalin earned his medical degree from Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, did his residency in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin, and a fellowship in Neuropsychopharmacology at the National Institute of Mental Health. Dr. Kalin is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He is a Fellow Emeritus of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology and a fellow of the American College of Psychiatry. He has been recognized for numerous awards including the 1985 A.E. Bennett Award for basic science research in biological psychiatry, the 2005 Edward A. Strecker Award, the 2007 American College of Psychiatrists Award for research in mood disorders, the 2007 Gerald Klerman Senior Investigator Award, and the 2015 AnnaMonika Prize of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology. In 2013 he was inducted as a Fellow in theAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science, and in 2015 he was elected as a member of the National Academy of Medicine. In 2017, Dr. Kalin was inducted as a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. He has served as President of the International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology and President of the Society of Biological Psychiatry, as a member of the National Advisory Mental Health Council and as Co-Editor for the international journal, Psychoneuroendocrinology. In 2019, Dr. Kalin was appointed as the Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Psychiatry.
Learning objectives: 

 1. Recognize early life risk factors to develop anxiety and depression.
 2. Describe brain alterations associated with childhood illness.
 3. Consider ideas about treatment informed by neuroscientific evidence.

Peter L. Strick, Ph.D., January 19, 2021

"The Neural Basis of the 'Brain-Body' Connection"

William K. Warren, Jr.  Frontiers in Neuroscience Lecture 
Virtual Presentation via Zoom (email for details) 
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm     Program

Peter L. Strick, Ph.D., Thomas Detre Professor and Chair, Department of Neurobiology; Scientific Director, University of Pittsburgh Brain Institute; Co-Director, Center for Neuroscience, University of Pittsburgh.

Peter L. Strick, Ph.D., received his B.A. (Biology, 1968) and Ph.D. (Anatomy, 1972) from the University of Pennsylvania. Then, he was a Staff Fellow in Edward V. Evarts’ Laboratory of Neurophysiology at NIMH (1972-1976). In 1976, Strick moved to the VA Medical Center, Syracuse, NY and the Departments of Neurosurgery and Physiology, SUNY-Upstate Medical Center. He was appointed George W. Perkins, III Memorial Professor in Neurosurgery (1988) and served as Acting President of the Central New York Research Corp. (1994-1996), and Interim Director of the Neuroscience Program at SUNY-Upstate (1997-1998).

In 2000, Strick moved to the University of Pittsburgh to become Co-Director, Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition and Professor, Departments of Neurobiology, Neurological Surgery, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and Psychiatry. In 2007, Strick became the founding Director of the Systems Neuroscience Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School. In 2012, Strick was appointed the Thomas Detre Professor and Chair, Department of Neurobiology and co-director for the Center for Neuroscience. Strick also was appointed the founding Scientific Director of the University of Pittsburgh Brain Institute (2014-).

Strick co-founded the Neural Control of Movement Society (1990) and served as its Conference Co-Chair, Program Chair (1990-2007) and President (2007-2010). He was elected, Scientific Councilor (1996-2000) and Treasurer (1998-2000) of the Society for Neuroscience. He served as Section Editor (1986-1995) and then Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Neurophysiology (1995-2002), and he currently serves as Senior Editor, Cerebral Cortex (2003-) and on the PNAS Editorial Board (2016-).

Strick's major awards include the C.J. Herrick Award from the American Association of Anatomists (1979); Javits Neuroscience Investigator Award from NIH-NINDS (1986); Established Investigator Award from NARSAD (1995-1996); President's Award for Excellence and Leadership in Research, SUNY-Upstate Medical Center (1996); Senior Research Career Scientist Award from the Veterans Administration (1987-2015); University Distinguished Professor of Neurobiology (2011) and Chancellor's Distinguished Research Award, Senior Scholar, University of Pittsburgh (2013); Linné Lecture, Uppsala University (2017); Paul D. MacLean Award, American Psychosomatic Society (2018); Carnegie Science Award in the Life Sciences, (2018); and the Krieg Cortical Kudos Discoverer Award, Cajal Club (2019). Strick was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2004) and to the National Academy of Sciences (2012).

Strick's research focuses on four major areas: the generation and control of voluntary movement by the motor areas of the cerebral cortex; the motor and cognitive functions of the basal ganglia and cerebellum; the neural basis for the mind-body connection; and unraveling the complex neural networks that comprise the central nervous system.

Learning objectives: 

 1. Identify the types of cortical areas that influence the function of the adrenal medulla.
 2. Identify the areas of the cerebral cortex that influence sympathetic output of the stomach.
 3. Identify the areas of the cerebral cortex that influence parasympathetic output to the stomach.
