Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the next in a series of events held at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and hosted by Central European University, the Collegium Budapest Institute for Advanced Study, and Andrassy University. On Monday, December 1, at 6pm all interested scholars from the Budapest academic community are welcome to attend an informal reception including wine and light refreshments. A simple combination of intellectual dialogue and conviviality constitute the agenda. Tim Crane, a philosopher from University College London who is spending the year at Collegium Budapest, will offer informal opening remarks on "Hungary's place in the intellectual landscape: an outsider's view." Come and claim your glass of wine, and prepare for a lively discussion about the future of academic Budapest in the European context. RSVP Katalin Lassu <lassuk(a)ceu.hu> by November 26 Cordially, The Ad Hoc Faculty Club Organizing Committee Gabor Betegh Karl Hall Nicole Lindstrom

Walker/Sleep and memory formation: BBS Call for Commentators

by Behavioral & Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty, APOLOGIES IF YOU PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED THIS EMAIL Below is a link to the forthcoming BBS target article A refined model of sleep and the time course of memory formation by Matthew P. Walker http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Walker-12042002/Referees/ This article has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), an international, interdisciplinary journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. Commentators must be BBS Associates or suggested by a BBS Associate. To be considered as a commentator for this article, to suggest other appropriate commentators, or for information about how to become a BBS Associate, please reply by EMAIL within three (3) weeks to: calls(a)bbsonline.org The Calls are sent to 10,000 BBS Associates, so there is no expectation (indeed, it would be calamitous) that each recipient should comment on every occasion! Hence there is no need to reply except if you wish to comment, or to suggest someone to comment. If you are not a BBS Associate, please approach a current BBS Associate (there are currently over 10,000 worldwide) who is familiar with your work to nominate you. All past BBS authors, referees and commentators are eligible to become BBS Associates. An electronic list of current BBS Associates is available at this location to help you select a name: http://www.bbsonline.org/Instructions/assoclist.html (please note that this list is being updated) If no current BBS Associate knows your work, please send us your Curriculum Vitae and BBS will circulate it to appropriate Associates to ask whether they would be prepared to nominate you. (In the meantime, your name, address and email address will be entered into our database as an unaffiliated investigator.) ======================================================================= ** IMPORTANT ** ======================================================================= To help us put together a balanced list of commentators, it would be most helpful if you would send us an indication of the relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the paper, and what aspect of the paper you would anticipate commenting upon. (Please note that we only request expertise information in order to simplify the selection process.) Please DO NOT prepare a commentary until you receive a formal invitation, indicating that it was possible to include your name on the final list, which is constructed so as to balance areas of expertise and frequency of prior commentaries in BBS. To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable at the URL that follows the abstract and keywords below. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= A refined model of sleep and the time course of memory formation Matthew P. Walker Department of Psychiatry Harvard Medical School ABSTRACT: Research in the neurosciences continues to provide evidence that sleep plays a role in the processes of learning and memory. There is less of a consensus, however, regarding the precise stage of memory development where sleep is considered a requirement, simply favorable, or not important. This article begins with an overview of recent studies regarding sleep and learning, predominantly in the procedural memory domain, and is measured against our current understanding of the mechanisms that govern memory formation. Based on these considerations, a new neurocognitive framework of procedural learning is offered, consisting firstly of acquisition, followed by two specific stages of consolidation, one involving a process of stabilization, the other involving enhancement, whereby delayed learning occurs. Psychophysiological evidence indicates that initial acquisition does not fundamentally rely on sleep. This also appears to be true for the stabilization phase of consolidation, with durable representations, resistant to interference, clearly developing in a successful manner during time awake (or just time per se). In contrast, the consolidation stage resulting in additional/enhanced learning in the absence of further rehearsal does appear to rely on the process of sleep, with evidence for specific sleep-stage dependencies across the procedural domain. Evaluations at a molecular, cellular and systems level currently offer several sleep specific candidates that could play a role in sleep-dependent learning. These include the up regulation of select plasticity-associated genes, increased protein synthesis, changes in neurotransmitter concentration, and specific electrical events in neuronal networks that modulate synaptic potentiation. KEYWORDS: Consolidation; Enhancement; Learning; Memory; Plasticity; Sleep; Stabilization http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Walker-12042002/Referees/ ======================================================================= ======================================================================= *** SUPPLEMENTARY ANNOUNCEMENT *** (1) Call for Book Nominations for BBS Multiple Book Review In the past, Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) had only been able to do 1-2 BBS multiple book treatments per year, because of our limited annual page quota. BBS's new expanded page quota will make it possible for us to increase the number of books we treat per year, so this is an excellent time for BBS Associates and biobehavioral/cognitive scientists in general to nominate books you would like to see accorded BBS multiple book review. (Authors may self-nominate, but books can only be selected on the basis of multiple nominations.) It would be very helpful if you indicated in what way a BBS Multiple Book Review of the book(s) you nominate would be useful to the field (and of course a rich list of potential reviewers would be the best evidence of its potential impact!). *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Please note: Your email address has been added to our user database for Calls for Commentators, the reason you received this email. If you do not wish to receive further Calls, please feel free to change your mailshot status through your User Login link on the BBSPrints homepage, using your username and password.
