Citizen Forum: One Year Later, A Facilitated Group Event — MARCH 5, 2018
7:30-9:30PM at IPTAR Conference Room

The social and political partisanship that characterized the 2016 election has continued. As citizens, we have been subjected to a cascade of actions and pronouncements that has differed dramatically in tone and substance from anything we have experienced before. After a chaotic and fragmented beginning that led to failure in executing goals, those in power have coalesced to carry out their agenda in a manner that has been shocking even to many of those who are members of the same political party. While there has been some movement within our governmental system to assert checks and balances on what is feared to be moral corruption and emotional instability at the highest level, those whose side lost the 2016 election have been rendered powerless as major changes are taking place. However, there are also signs that the opposition is mobilizing with some initial success. Continue reading Citizen Forum: One Year Later, A Facilitated Group Event — MARCH 5, 2018 at IPTAR

This presentation is drawn from Laurence Bergreen’s most recent book, Casanova: The World of a Seductive Genius (Simon & Schuster, 2016). Casanova’s life as a libertine, as well as his brilliant intellect and importance in European letters (he met both Voltaire and Mozart), will be discussed. The impact of two major traumas on his personal life will also be examined: first, the abandonment in early childhood by his mother, an actress and courtesan, and second, the early death of his father.

Researchers in psychiatry and neuroscience are increasingly recognizing the importance of microbiota to brain communication in mental health. Scientists have established the link between gut bacteria and anxiety-like behaviours in animal models and with emotional brain regions in healthy people. Work to date by our group and others suggest that microbiota influence brain structure, gene expression of stress-related and plasticity-related genes, stress-reactivity, and behaviour. Recent work in our lab has focused on how the interaction between microbiota and host genetics influence brain structure and behaviour. Bacterial community profiling of 16SrRNA gene was carried out using a modified bar-coded Illumina sequencing method in the McMaster Genome Center in different strains of mice. Strain-specific differences in microbiota richness and diversity were observed. The taxonomic profile of the microbiota showed significant strain Continue reading The Microbiome and Mind: Microbiota-host interactions in mood and mental health with Jane Foster, Ph.D. at NYPSI
