(thanks) Hi all, I have been asked a few times over the last months for help regarding getting the entire MINC/etc toolchain onto a laptop, home machine or indeed any machine not at the BIC. So, given that my time at the BIC is running out I am interested as to just how many people would be interested in such a seminar should I run it. Currently the best time that I can think of would be 10:30 -> 11:30 on Tuesday next week in the Grandpre. It doesn't seem to be booked so far... If you are interested in such a thing please reply be email to a.janke at gmail.com. If I get more than 10 responses or so I guess it is on. :) I plan to cover topics such as: 1) Why you would do this.... (speed benchmarking etc) 2) MINC/BIC on Linux/Mac/OSX/WindowsXP/VMWARE/Cygwin (basic make/configure/etc) 3) Basic cluster building how-to 4) Needs and methods for unattended analysis (pipelining) 5) Best practise BIC systems, how to get them, use them and syncronise your own machine with them. (offline files, SAMBA, rsync, unison, etc) Of course if you are interested in other things feel free to put them in a reply to me and I will see what I can do.

This group has done really interesting work on brain activity during sleep and its role in learning and memory. Pierre has shown that activity in brain areas involved in learning persists immediately after a training period, and that this contributes to memory consolidation. More recently he has observed this phenomenon in a patient suffering from amnesia due to bilateral hippocampal damage. He has also shown changes in functional connectivity of hippocampus and striatum occurring during sleep, which contribute to enhanced performance on a spatial navigation task. Pierre's recent papers in PNAS and PLoS Biology: http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/103/18/7124 http://biology.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get- document&doi=10.1371/journal.pbio.0040100 See you there. --- Alain Dagher, MD Associate Professor Montreal Neurological Institute McGill University 3801 University St Montreal QC Canada H3A 2B4 tel: (514) 398-1726 fax: (514) 398-8948 alain at bic.mni.mcgill.ca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Forsyth laboratory is investigating the molecular mechanisms that regulate glioma invasion. In addition, they are exploring the application of oncolytic viruses as potential therapeutics for brain tumors. In this capacity, they are interested in the possibility that certain common viruses exhibit a capacity to selectively attack cancer cells. Peter is an engaging speaker and his lecture will address issues related to brain tumor biology, cell motility, and viral oncology.
