Tennenbaum Center for the Biology of Creativity Resource Report Resource Website |
Tennenbaum Center for the Biology of Creativity (RRID:SCR_000668) | data or information resource, organization portal, portal | The purpose of this center is to study the molecular, cellular, systems and cognitive mechanisms that result in cognitive enhancements and explain unusual levels of performance in gifted individuals, including extraordinary creativity. Additionally, by understating the mechanisms responsible for enhancements in performance we may be better suited to intervene and reverse disease states that result in cognitive deficits. One of the key topics addressed by the Center is the biological basis of cognitive enhancements, a topic that can be studied in human subjects and animal models. In the past much of the focus in the brain sciences has been on the study of brain mechanisms that degrade cognitive performance (for example, on mutations or other lesions that cause cognitive deficits). The Tennenbaum Center for the Biology of Creativity at UCLA enables an interdisciplinary team of leading scientists to advance knowledge about the biological bases of creativity. Starting with a pilot project program, a series of investigations was launched, spanning disciplines from basic molecular biology to cognitive neuroscience. Because the concept of creativity is multifaceted, initial efforts targeted refinement of the component processes necessary to generate novel, useful cognitive products. The identified core cognitive processes: 1.) Novelty Generation the ability to flexibly and adaptively generate products that are unique; 2.) Working Memory and Declarative Memory the ability to maintain, and then use relevant information to guide goal-directed performance, along with the capacity to store and retrieve this information; and 3.) Response Inhibition the ability to suppress habitual plans and substitute alternate actions in line with changing problem-solving demands. To study the basic mechanisms underlying these complex brain functions we use translational strategies. Starting from foundational studies in basic neuroscience, we forged an interdisciplinary strategy that permits the most advanced techniques for genetic manipulation and basic neurobiological research to be applied in close collaboration with human studies that converge on the same core cognitive processes. Our integrated research program aims to reveal the genetic architecture and fundamental brain mechanisms underlying creative cognition. The work holds enormous promise for both enhancing healthy cognitive performance and designing new treatments for diverse cognitive disorders. Sponsors: The Tennenbaum Center for the Biology of Creativity was inspired by the vision and generosity of Michael Tennenbaum. | generation, genetic, animal, biological, brain, brain science, cellular, cognitive, cognitive deficit, cognitive disorder, cognitive neuroscience, creativity, declarative memory, disease, habitual, human, inhibition, mechanism, memory, model, molecular, molecular biology, neurobiological, performance, response, working memory | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE | nif-0000-10497 | SCR_000668 | UCLA CBC | 2026-09-03 05:00:23 | 0 | |||||||||

Chronux Resource Report Resource Website 500+ mentions |
Chronux (RRID:SCR_005547) | Chronux | data analysis software, data processing software, software application, software resource | Open-source software package for the analysis of neural data. Chronux routines may be employed in the analysis of both point process and continuous data, ranging from preprocessing, exploratory and confirmatory analysis. The current release is implemented as a MATLAB library. Chronux offers several routines for computing spectra and coherences for both point and continuous processes. In addition, it also offers several general purpose routines that were found useful such as a routine for extracting specified segments from data, or binning spike time data with bins of a specified size. Since the data can be continuous valued, point process times, or point processes that are binned, methods that apply to all these data types are given in routines whose names end with ''''c'''' for continuous, ''''pb'''' for binned point processes, and ''''pt'''' for point process times. Thus, mtspectrumc computes the spectrum of continuous data, mtspectrumpb computes a spectrum for binned point processes, and mtspectrumpt compute spectra for data consisting of point process times. Hybrid routines are also available and similarly named - for instance coherencycpb computes the coherency between continuous and binned point process data. | fmri, brain mapping, brain, matlab |
