SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Dr Mike Kendig: Effects of diet on cognition in animal models and humans
DESCRIPTION:Dr MIke Kendig (UTS)\nAbstract\nProcessed foods rich in fat\, sugar and salt now form a substantial part of the modern diet of most countries around the world\, including Australia. Studies in human and rodents indicate that in addition to negative effects on physical health\, high-fat\, high-sugar foods are associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment. However\, such foods are rarely eaten exclusively\, and more commonly form part of diverse diets that vary over the short- and long-term. The cognitive effects of high-fat\, high-sugar foods eaten under these conditions are less well understood. Here I will review our work on the effects of intermittent access to (a) 10% sucrose solution\, and (b) a high-fat\, high-sugar ‘cafeteria’ diet on cognition and behaviour in rats\, and the relationship of cognitive effects to changes in gut microbiota composition. The results of a clinical trial of sugar drink reduction in young healthy adults will also be presented.

SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Prof Carl Bergstrom : The impediments to high-risk\, high-return research
DESCRIPTION:Prof Carl Bergstrom (University of Washington)\nAbstract\nScientific researchers may be driven by curiosity\, but they are constrained by the realities of the scientific ecosystems in which they operate and motivated by the incentives with which they are confronted. We can use mathematical models of the research enterprise to understand how scientific norms and institutions shape the questions we ask\, the efficiency with which we work\, and the discoveries we make about the world around us. In this talk I present a pair of mathematical models aimed at revealing why scientists are reluctant to propose and conduct high-risk research. In the first vignette we look at how peer review filters — ex ante review as for grant proposals and ex post review as for completed manuscripts — shape the types of questions that researchers pursue. In the second vignette\, we develop an economic “hidden action” model to explore how the unobservability of risk and effort discourages risky research. Scientific norms and institutions are not god-given; we create and maintain them. If we can understand their consequences\, we have the potential to nudge the norms and institutions in directions better tailored to our contemporary research questions and technologies.
