New on the CNS Blog: Moving the Body to Advance Cognition and Protect Against Dementia
 
About 15 years ago, Wendy Suzuki was on a mission. She wanted to lose 25 pounds and began a regular gym and diet regimen. As she worked out more, she saw a big shift in her mood and memory. At the same time, her father suffered a sudden and debilitating loss in his cognitive abilities. One day, he couldn't find his way home from a café he had driven to every day for the previous 30 years.

"This smart engineer couldn't remember how to get home," Suzuki recalls. "It was a Black Mirror Effect: Everything that was improving in me was declining with my father."

A cognitive neuroscientist who studied the hippocampus, Suzuki became motivated to study these effects. Over the next few years, she transitioned her research focus from understanding the neurophysiology of memory to studying the link between exercise and cognition. Now her lab at New York University examines the neural mechanisms underlying exercise-related changes in cognitive performance across different populations and age groups. Read our new Q&A with Wendy Suzuki, for a sneak peek at her CNS 2021 keynote address in March.

In Memoriam: Leslie G. Ungerleider
 
Dr. Leslie G. Ungerleider passed away on December 10, 2020. A towering scientific figure, she was Chief of the Laboratory for Brain and Cognition at the National Institute of Mental Health, where she was an NIH Distinguished Investigator. Leslie began as a functional anatomist, and was also a talented physiologist and cognitive neuroscientist. Her early work with Mortimer Mishkin at NIMH led to the proposal of two functionally dissociated cortical pathways in the primate brain - one of the most impactful and influential concepts in visual neuroscience. Over the years she also helped to illuminate the nature of perception and attention, working in non-human primate models, and in humans using functional brain imaging.
