"Brain Sculpting: Creating optimal neural networks and functions with experience-based neuroplasticity" presented by Kelly Lambert, MacEldin Trawick Chair and Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience and 2024-25 Phi Beta Kappa National Visiting Scholar Program.Considering that our brains change from the womb to the tomb, it is critical to understand how life experiences alter neural functions. The ability to change our minds and our brains---known as neuroplasticity---is one of our most valuable "superpowers." A discussion of neuroplasticity research will span from the earliest "enriched environment" rodent studies to current research focusing on tuning brains for optimal functions throughout our lives. Over a half-century of research has identified fascinating neurobiological tools that the brain uses to adapt to our changing worlds. Knowledge that the brain can also change in maladaptive ways serves as a potent reminder that we should be mindful of our brain's experiences throughout our lives. Co-sponsored by Phi Beta Kappa and Mind, Brain, and Behavior Initiative. Reception to follow.

Join us for the exhibition opening reception and gallery talk (part of Arts, Creativity, and Innovation Weekend 2025) for Suchi Reddy's Bias and Belonging.Through an ongoing series of community conversations, the artist and architect Suchi Reddy has been in dialog with students, faculty, staff and townspeople throughout the 2024-2025 academic year to learn about the ways in which our encounters with reflection and misreflection in physical and digital spaces contribute to our experience of bias and belonging. A culmination of the year's conversations, Bias and Belonging poetically reframes the Colgate community's embodied experience of belonging in woven, textual and digital forms. Bias and Belonging is the latest iteration of Reddy's ongoing exploration into embodied states of being that reflect our individual and collective experience as we code switch and transform in evolving environments both digital and physical.Presented by the Art Department and the Christian A. Johnson Foundation. The Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-in-Residence was established in 1986 as a challenge grant in support of the arts at Colgate. The residency program permits one or more artists to become part of the Colgate community every academic year.
