The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, co gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders.\n\n\nTo watch online\, click here\n\nHost: Nathan Spreng\n\n\n The Humanity of the Neurosciences\n\nAbstract: As in many disciplines\, pr ogress in neuroscience is made possible by the exchange of information bet ween people\, whether informally over a cup of coffee or formally through peer-reviewed publications. In the formal exchange occurring in scholarly articles\, we use references to buttress our communication: we cite the wo rk of other scholars to build our arguments\, contextualize our results\, and foreground possibilities for future research. Despite being a critical feature of science communication—as well as a history of ideas—little rem ains known about how scientists choose references and how those choices in fluence the exchange of information that subtends advancement in the field . Here I will examine citation practices—who we cite and how favorably or critically we cite them—in neuroscience from 1995 to today using extensive bibliometric analysis and capitalizing on recent advances in large langua ge models. In describing the results of 3 separate studies\, I will demons trate that citation practices differ by author gender\, vary with journal prestige\, and track social norms of small groups\, larger disciplines\, a nd whole countries. Collectively\, the results demonstrate that science is social\, and scientific practices are bound by the complexities of human behavior. This fundamental humanity of science raises important questions about social justice and inequalities of privilege that have critical impo rt for educating the next generation of young neuroscientists.\n\nDani S. Bassett\n\nJ. Peter Skirkanich Professor\, University of Pennsylvania\n\n \n\nProf. Bassett is the J. Peter Skirkanich Professor at the University o f Pennsylvania and transitioning this year to Wu Tsai Professor at Yale Un iversity. Bassett is most well-known for blending neural and systems engin eering to identify fundamental mechanisms of cognition and disease in huma n brain networks. They received a B.S. in physics from Penn State Universi ty and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Cambridge\, UK as a Churc hill Scholar\, and as an NIH Health Sciences Scholar. Following a postdoct oral position at UC Santa Barbara\, Bassett was a Junior Research Fellow a t the Sage Center for the Study of the Mind. They have received multiple p restigious awards\, including American Psychological Association's ‘Rising Star’ (2012)\, Alfred P Sloan Research Fellow (2014)\, MacArthur Fellow G enius Grant (2014)\, Early Academic Achievement Award from the IEEE Engine ering in Medicine and Biology Society (2015)\, Office of Naval Research Yo ung Investigator (2015)\, National Science Foundation CAREER (2016)\, Popu lar Science Brilliant 10 (2016)\, Lagrange Prize in Complex Systems Scienc e (2017)\, Erdos-Renyi Prize in Network Science (2018)\, OHBM Young Invest igator Award (2020)\, AIMBE College of Fellows (2020)\, American Physical Society Fellow (2021)\, Justine and Yves Sergent Award (2025)\, and has be en named one of Web of Science's most Highly Cited Researchers for 5 years running. Bassett is the author of more than 480 peer-reviewed publication s\, which have garnered over 66\,000 citations\, as well as numerous book chapters and teaching materials. Bassett’s work has been supported by the National Science Foundation\, the National Institutes of Health\, the Army Research Office\, the Army Research Laboratory\, the Office of Naval Rese arch\, the Department of Defense\, the Alfred P Sloan Foundation\, the Joh n D and Catherine T MacArthur Foundation\, the Paul Allen Foundation\, the ISI Foundation\, and the Center for Curiosity. Bassett has recently co-au thored the book Curious Minds: The Power of Connection (MIT Press) with ph ilosopher and twin Perry Zurn.\n DTSTART:20251215T180000Z DTEND:20251215T190000Z LOCATION:Virtual | Zoom SUMMARY:[VIRTUAL] Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series: The Humanity of th e Neurosciences URL:/neuro/channels/event/virtual-feindel-brain-and-mi nd-seminar-series-humanity-neurosciences-369675 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
