Professor Peter Goldreich Member of the Board of Adjudicators Chairman of the Selection Committee for the Prize in Astronomy
The Shaw Prize The Shaw Prize is an international award to honour individuals who are currently active in their respective fields and who have recently achieved distinguished and significant advances, who have made outstanding contributions in academic and scientific research or applications, or who in other domains have achieved excellence. The award is dedicated to furthering societal progress, enhancing quality of life, and enriching humanity’s spiritual civilization. Preference is to be given to individuals whose significant work was recently achieved and who are currently active in their respective fields. Founder's Biographical Note The Shaw Prize was established under the auspices of Mr Run Run Shaw. Mr Shaw, born in China in 1907, was a native of Ningbo County, Zhejiang Province. He joined his brother’s film company in China in the 1920s. During the 1950s he founded the film company Shaw Brothers (HK) Limited in Hong Kong. He was one of the founding members of Television Broadcasts Limited launched in Hong Kong in 1967. Mr Shaw also founded two charities, The Shaw Foundation Hong Kong and The Sir Run Run Shaw Charitable Trust, both dedicated to the promotion of education, scientific and technological research, medical and welfare services, and culture and the arts. ~ 1 ~ Message from the Chief Executive I warmly congratulate the six Shaw Laureates of 2014. Established in 2002 under the auspices of Mr Run Run Shaw, the Shaw Prize is a highly prestigious recognition of the role that scientists play in shaping the development of a modern world. Since the first award in 2004, 54 leading international scientists have been honoured for their ground-breaking discoveries which have expanded the frontiers of human knowledge and made significant contributions to humankind. -
Mcgovern Institute for Brain Research
McGovern Institute for Brain Research The McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT is a research and teaching institute committed to advancing human understanding and communications. The goal of the McGovern Institute is to investigate and ultimately understand the biological basis of higher brain function in humans. The Institute is conducting interdisciplinary research that combines and extends the results of recent breakthroughs in three major, interrelated areas: systems and computational neuroscience, imaging and cognitive neuroscience, and genetic and cellular neuroscience. Activities We initiated a faculty search during spring 2007. Although we reviewed over 100 applications, we ultimately decided not to make an offer and will instead run the search again in 2007–2008. We held our second annual imaging symposium at the McGovern Institute on May 15, 2007. The co-organizers of this year’s event were Christopher Moore, Alan Jasanoff, and Charles Jennings. The theme, “Plumbing the Mind: Brain Activation and the Regulation of Cerebral Blood Flow,” brought together people working on the physiological mechanisms of neurovascular coupling with others interested in the development of brain imaging technology, especially (but not exclusively) fMRI. Held in the brain and cognitive sciences complex, it was an oversubscribed event that was incredibly well received. The Institute’s Annual Scolnick Prize lecture and dinner was held May 21, 2007. The winner, Dr. David Julius, gave a late afternoon talk, followed by a well-attended dinner at the McGovern Institute. The Scolnick Prize recognizes an outstanding discovery or significant advance in the field of neuroscience. The McGovern Institute held its 5th annual retreat June 3–5 at the Newport Marriott in Newport, Rhode Island. -

Our charge, to select an outstanding group of Fellows each year and to respond as needed to advisory issues that occasionally arise during the tenure of their fellowship, is always a stimulating one, and the talks from third-year Fellows at the Annual Meeting continue to give remarkably positive feedback. Our partnerships with HHMI, the Simons Foundation, and Merck have benefitted the program greatly. We have three Simons Fellows, eight HHMI Fellows and two Merck Fellows, in addition to the eleven we now support from endowment income. (Let me add, on behalf of the SAC, a note of thanks to Perry Welch, the Treasurer of the Foundation, who oversees that endowment with great dedication and insight.) A class of 24 means the competition is fierce, and we continue to identify an extraordinary group of young biomedical scientists. -
Consciousness, Accessibility, and the Mesh Between Psychology and Neuroscience
BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2007) 30, 481–548 Printed in the United States of America doi: 10.1017/S0140525X07002786 Consciousness, accessibility, and the mesh between psychology and neuroscience Ned Block Department of Philosophy, New York University, New York, NY 10003 [email protected] Abstract: How can we disentangle the neural basis of phenomenal consciousness from the neural machinery of the cognitive access that underlies reports of phenomenal consciousness? We see the problem in stark form if we ask how we can tell whether representations inside a Fodorian module are phenomenally conscious. The methodology would seem straightforward: Find the neural natural kinds that are the basis of phenomenal consciousness in clear cases – when subjects are completely confident and we have no reason to doubt their authority – and look to see whether those neural natural kinds exist within Fodorian modules. But a puzzle arises: Do we include the machinery underlying reportability within the neural natural kinds of the clear cases? If the answer is “Yes,” then there can be no phenomenally conscious representations in Fodorian modules. But how can we know if the answer is “Yes”? The suggested methodology requires an answer to the question it was supposed to answer! This target article argues for an abstract solution to the problem and exhibits a source of empirical data that is relevant, data that show that in a certain sense phenomenal consciousness overflows cognitive accessibility. I argue that we can find a neural realizer of this overflow if we assume that the neural basis of phenomenal consciousness does not include the neural basis of cognitive accessibility and that this assumption is justified (other things being equal) by the explanations it allows. -

Cytoplasmic Inter-Subunit Interface Controls Use-Dependence of Thermal Activation of TRPV3 Channel

Repeated stimulation of TRPV3 by high temperatures above 50 ◦C progressively increases its responses and shifts the activation threshold to physiological temperatures. This use-dependence does not occur in the related heat-sensitive TRPV1 channel in which responses decrease, and the activation threshold is retained above 40 ◦C during activations. By combining structure-based mutagenesis, electrophysiology, and molecular modeling, we showed that chimeric replacement of the residues from the TRPV3 cytoplasmic inter-subunit interface (N251–E257) with the homologous residues of TRPV1 resulted in channels that, similarly to TRPV1, exhibited a lowered thermal threshold, were sensitized, and failed to close completely after intense stimulation. Crosslinking of this interface by the engineered disulfide bridge between substituted cysteines F259C and V385C (or, to a lesser extent, Y382C) locked the channel in an open state. -
