Developing Mind, Second Edition Praise for THE DEVELOPING MIND “A tour de force of synthesis and integration. Siegel has woven a rich tapestry that provides a compelling account of how our interpersonal worlds and neural systems form two important pillars of the mind. The second edition brings the latest neuroscientific evidence to the fore; it is a ‘must read’ for any student or professional interested in mental health, child development, and the brain.” —RICHA R D J. DAVIDSON , PhD, William James and Vilas Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry; Founder and Chair, Center for Investigating Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin–Madison “With the original publication of The Developing Mind, the field of interpersonal neurobiology was born. Siegel’s genius for synthesizing and humanizing neu- roscience, attachment, and developmental theory made the book a bestseller and attracted thousands to this new field. The second edition benefits from over a decade’s worth of additional findings, reflections, ideas, and insights. I encourage you to take Siegel up on his offer to share this fascinating journey, whether for the first time or for a return trip. You won’t be disappointed.” —LOUIS COZO L INO , PhD, Department of Psychology, Pepperdine University “When The Developing Mind was first published, Siegel’s proposal that mind, brain, and relationships represented ‘three aspects of one reality’ essential to human well-being still seemed closer to inspired speculation than teachable scientific knowledge. Just over a decade later, the neurobiology of interpersonal experience has grown into one of the hottest areas of psychological research. Over two thousand new references surveyed for the second edition testify to just how far neuroscientists, developmental psychologists, and clinicians have brought the field as they begin to more fully chart the interplay of mind, body, and relationships. This splendid second edition—at once accessibly written and meticulously documented—provides a comprehensive guide to this emerging science.”—SA R AH BL AFFE R HR DY , PhD, Professor Emerita of Anthropology, University of California, Davis “Siegel describes his book as ‘a journey into the developing mind,’ and no one is better equipped to invite psychotherapists and other students of human impulses to share this remarkable adventure. In clear and inspired prose, he reviews facts and theories about the human brain that can be difficult to grasp. He explains how the brain differentiates and enables the creative and passionate mind of a child to share meaningful intentions, experiences, imaginative beliefs, rela- tionships, community, culture, and language. He puts this understanding in the service of a humane and respectful psychotherapy that can give integrity to young lives that have become anxious, chaotic, and rigid.” —CO L WYN T R EVA rt HEN , PhD, FRSE, Professor Emeritus of Child Psychology and Psychobiology, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom “Fulfilled my wildest expectations. Instead of laboriously struggling to learn about neurobiology, I found myself fairly effortlessly assimilating information because 1) the author is able to present his material in the context of interper- sonal relationships in general and the treatment dyad in particular, and 2) the author is a master of lucidity, avoids pedantry, and succeeds in making his data clinically useful.”—American Journal of Psychiatry “Readable, thoughtful, and informative.”—Educational Leadership “I knew that this book was one I should keep handy when I wanted to improve my understanding of information on which the future science of psychiatry will be based.”—Journal of Clinical Psychiatry “A remarkable book. The Developing Mind boldly transcends the reduction- ism that characterizes so much of contemporary psychiatry.”—Psychiatric Times “Current, thorough, closely argued. One of Siegel’s major gifts is for pre- senting anatomical, neurological, research, and clinical information while still pointing out what remains unknown. He explores infant–parent relationships, emotions, states of mind, and how knowing about them can help one improve one’s relationships and capabilities for developing successfully.”—Booklist “Why can’t we remember what we did at age three? Why are some children unusually shy? What is the biochemistry of humiliation, and how can it be ‘toxic to the developing child’s brain’? New and plausible answers to these questions emerge from Siegel’s synthesis of neurobiology, research psychology and cognitive science. His subject—how we become the people we are— deserves to hold many readers spellbound.”—Publishers Weekly “The story Siegel tells is indeed fascinating, essentially describing the transac- tional processes that happen at the interface between developmental neurobiol- ogy and the environment of an individual. He links every level of the system from cell chemistry to brain architecture, to caregiver–infant attachments, to interpersonal relationships in adulthood. This is a book to stimulate, illu- minate, and drive our understanding of human developmental processes for- wards and I suspect that The Developing Mind will be seen as a milestone work in the future.”—Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry “Brilliant. It should probably not be read at one sitting, but sifted slowly as you would a 20 year old port. This is not just a book for bright psychiatric residents or child fellows, but child psychiatrists young and old, overworked or underpaid. It offers a glimpse of new horizons in the profession.”—Canadian Child Psychiatry Review THE DEVELOPING MIND The Developing Mind How Relationships and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are SECOND EDITION Daniel J.

Title. BF713.S525 2012 155—dc23 2011052460 For Maddi About the Author Daniel J. Siegel, MD, is an internationally acclaimed author, award- winning educator, and renowned child psychiatrist. He is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the School of Medicine of the University of California, Los Angeles, where he serves as Co-Investigator at the Center for Culture, Brain, and Development, and Co-Director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center. He is also the Executive Director of the Mindsight Institute, an educational center devoted to promoting insight, compassion, and empathy in indi viduals, families, institutions, and communities. Dr. Siegel’s books include Mindsight, Pocket Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology, The Mindful Ther- apist, The Mindful Brain, Parenting from the Inside Out, and The Whole-Brain Child. vii Preface to the Second Edition elcome to the fascinating world of interdisciplinary thinking. I invite W you to join me on this journey to explore the intricate intertwining of mind, brain, and relationships. Since the publication of the first edition of The Developing Mind over a dozen years ago, much has emerged from the objective study of science and the subjective knowledge of internal reflec- tion. This book honors these distinct but equally important realms of knowl- edge that will inform our travels. In this second edition, I have had the deep honor to incorporate what I’ve learned from scientists, psychotherapists, educators, philosophers, con- templative practitioners, and community leaders. The field that the first edition of this book introduced—“interpersonal neurobiology,” or simply “IPNB”—has grown in wonderful ways since then. It now has its own orga- nizations (see the Global Association for Interpersonal Neurobiology Studies, or GAINS), in-depth educational programs (see www.mindsightinstitute.com), and a professional library of over two dozen textbooks. My goal in thoroughly updating the references and revising the text for this edition is to make the ideas of IPNB and its scientific foundations as clear and concise as possible. I have had the good fortune of having 15 dedicated

The Epistemology of Evidence in Cognitive Neuroscience1 William Bechtel Department of Philosophy and Science Studies University of California, San Diego 1. The Epistemology of Evidence It is no secret that scientists argue. They argue about theories. But even more, they argue about the evidence for theories. Is the evidence itself trustworthy? This is a bit surprising from the perspective of traditional empiricist accounts of scientific methodology according to which the evidence for scientific theories stems from observation, especially observation with the naked eye. These accounts portray the testing of scientific theories as a matter of comparing the predictions of the theory with the data generated by these observations, which are taken to provide an objective link to reality. One lesson philosophers of science have learned in the last 40 years is that even observation with the naked eye is not as epistemically straightforward as was once assumed. What one is able to see depends upon one’s training: a novice looking through a microscope may fail to recognize the neuron and its processes (Hanson, 1958; Kuhn, 1962/1970).2 But a second lesson is only beginning to be appreciated: evidence in science is often not procured through simple observations with the naked eye, but observations mediated by complex instruments and sophisticated research techniques. What is most important, epistemically, about these techniques is that they often radically alter the phenomena under investigation.

This dualism is even more present in the central nervous system, where neuroinflammation is both important for the activation of reparatory mechanisms and, at the same time, leads to the release of detrimental factors that induce neurons loss. Key players in modulating the neuroinflammatory response are mitochondria. Indeed, they are responsible for a variety of cell mechanisms that control tissue homeostasis, such as autophagy, apoptosis, energy production, and also inflammation.

  • The CNS and the Brain Tumor Microenvironment: Implications for Glioblastoma Immunotherapy
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review The CNS and the Brain Tumor Microenvironment: Implications for Glioblastoma Immunotherapy Fiona A. Desland and Adília Hormigo * Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, The Tisch Cancer Institute, Department of Neurology, Box 1137, 1 Gustave L. Levy Pl, New York, NY 10029-6574, USA; fi[email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 28 August 2020; Accepted: 29 September 2020; Published: 5 October 2020 Abstract: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant primary brain tumor in adults. Its aggressive nature is attributed partly to its deeply invasive margins, its molecular and cellular heterogeneity, and uniquely tolerant site of origin—the brain. The immunosuppressive central nervous system (CNS) and GBM microenvironments are significant obstacles to generating an effective and long-lasting anti-tumoral response, as evidenced by this tumor’s reduced rate of treatment response and high probability of recurrence. Immunotherapy has revolutionized patients’ outcomes across many cancers and may open new avenues for patients with GBM. There is now a range of immunotherapeutic strategies being tested in patients with GBM that target both the innate and adaptive immune compartment. These strategies include antibodies that re-educate tumor macrophages, vaccines that introduce tumor-specific dendritic cells, checkpoint molecule inhibition, engineered T cells, and proteins that help T cells engage directly with tumor cells. Despite this, there is still much ground to be gained in improving the response rates of the various immunotherapies currently being trialed. Through historical and contemporary studies, we examine the fundamentals of CNS immunity that shape how to approach immune modulation in GBM, including the now revamped concept of CNS privilege.

Cosgrove 1,2,3,4,5 1234567890():,; Despite well-known peripheral immune activation in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), there are no studies of brain immunologic regulation in individuals with PTSD. [11C]PBR28 Positron Emission Tomography brain imaging of the 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO), a microglial biomarker, was conducted in 23 individuals with PTSD and 26 healthy individuals— with or without trauma exposure. Prefrontal-limbic TSPO availability in the PTSD group was negatively associated with PTSD symptom severity and was significantly lower than in controls. Higher C-reactive protein levels were also associated with lower prefrontal-limbic TSPO availability and PTSD severity. An independent postmortem study found no differential gene expression in 22 PTSD vs. 22 controls, but showed lower relative expression of TSPO and microglia-associated genes TNFRSF14 and TSPOAP1 in a female PTSD subgroup. These findings suggest that peripheral immune activation in PTSD is associated with deficient brain microglial activation, challenging prevailing hypotheses positing neuroimmune activation as central to stress-related pathophysiology.

  • Analysis for Science Librarians of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology Or Medicine: the Life and Work of John O’Keefe, Edvard Moser, and May-Britt Moser
    Analysis for Science Librarians of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine: The Life and Work of John O’Keefe, Edvard Moser, and May-Britt Moser Neyda V. Gilman Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO Navigation and awareness of space is a complicated cognitive process that requires sensory input and calculation, as well as spatial memory. The 2014 Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine, John O’Keefe, Edvard Moser, and May-Britt Moser, have worked to explain how an environmental map forms and is used in the brain (Nobelprize.org 2014b). O’Keefe discovered place cells that allow the brain to learn and remember specific locations. The Mosers added the second part of the “positioning system in the brain” with their discovery of grid cells, which provide the brain with a navigational coordinate system (Nobelprize.org 2014b). Introduction Alfred Nobel dictated in his will that his millions were to be used to create the Nobel Foundation in order to fund Nobel Prizes, the first of which was awarded in 1901 (Nobelprize.org 2014g). The Prize for Physiology or Medicine is given to those who are found to have made a major discovery that changes scientific thinking and benefits mankind. Between 1901 and 1953 there were over 5,000 individuals nominated for the Physiology or Medicine prize, less than seventy of which eventually became Laureates. For the 2014 Prize alone, 263 scientists were nominated (Nobelprize.org 2014h). The prize is not meant to honor those who are seen as leaders in the scientific community or those who have made many achievements over their lifetime.
