Roman is an Associate professor in Neurology in the Department of Biomedical Genetics at the University of Rochester. His research focusses on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of repulsive axon guidance in the developing and regenerating mammalian nervous system. There is growing evidence that the molecular mechanisms that underlie the sculpting of neuronal networks during development also apply to aspects of adult neuronal plasticity and repair following injury. Much progress has been made in identifying molecules that regulate axonal pathfinding but still little is known about how these molecules directly contribute to the wiring and maintenance of complex neuronal connectivity in vivo. Using a genetic approach, Roman's research aims to elucidate the mechanisms that govern the assembly of specific neural networks. Understanding the principles of network assembly will have important implications for the development of strategies aimed to promote neural repair following trauma or disease. A link to his webpage and some recent publications are provided below. We look forward to seeing you at what should be an exciting Killam seminar . http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/GEBS/faculty/roman_giger.htm 1: Hofer T, Tangkeangsirisin W, Kennedy MG, Mage RG, Raiker SJ, Venkatesh K, Lee H, Giger RJ, Rader C.

Roman is an Associate professor in Neurology in the Department of Biomedical Genetics at the University of Rochester. His research focusses on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of repulsive axon guidance in the developing and regenerating mammalian nervous system. There is growing evidence that the molecular mechanisms that underlie the sculpting of neuronal networks during development also apply to aspects of adult neuronal plasticity and repair following injury. Much progress has been made in identifying molecules that regulate axonal pathfinding but still little is known about how these molecules directly contribute to the wiring and maintenance of complex neuronal connectivity in vivo. Using a genetic approach, Roman's research aims to elucidate the mechanisms that govern the assembly of specific neural networks. Understanding the principles of network assembly will have important implications for the development of strategies aimed to promote neural repair following trauma or disease. A link to his webpage and some recent publications are provided below. We look forward to seeing you at what should be an exciting Killam seminar . http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/GEBS/faculty/roman_giger.htm 1: Hofer T, Tangkeangsirisin W, Kennedy MG, Mage RG, Raiker SJ, Venkatesh K, Lee H, Giger RJ, Rader C.

Dr. de Curtis - who heads the Unit of Experimental Neurophysiology at the Istituto Neurologico Carlo Besta - obtained his MD degree from the Universit? Statale di Milano and completed his training in Neurology at the Universit? di Parma while working at the Besta Institute with Dr. G. Avanzini on fundamental mechanisms underlying the excitability of thalamic neurons. He moved then to the Dept. of Physiology and Biophysics of New York University where he spent then three years in the laboratory of Dr. R. Llinas to study the physiology of the olfactory and limbic cortices in an isolated in vitro preparation of the whole brain. Upon his return to Italy he resumed his clinical work with epileptis patients and established a basic science laboratory at the Besta Institute. Indeed, he is the only investigator who routinely employs the isolated in vitro preparation to analyze the mechanisms of epileptiform synchronization and epileptogenesis. Dr. de Curtis received the Stiftung Michael Price for epilepsy research in 1999. He is an Editor of Epilepsia and Epilepsy Research. Since 2002 he is also the Co-Director of the Summer Courses at the S. Servolo International School of Neurological Sciences. Abstract - Seizures correlate with specific neurophysiological patterns generated by excitability changes within the cortical area involved. Cellular networks responsible for seizures onset are still largely unknown. One of the most frequent onset pattern observed during seizures that originate from the mesial temporal lobe is characterized by fast activity at 20-30 Hz that precedes large amplitude bursting discharges commonly associated to epileptiform activity. We demonstrate that fast activity at seizure onset can be reproduced in vitro in the entorhinal cortex by transiently and partially disinhibiting an isolated guinea pig brain with the GABAa receptor antagonist, bicuculline. Cellular patterns associated to ictal onset were characterized in different populations of neurons. Fast activity at 20-30 Hz correlated with rhythmic inhibitory potentials in superficial and deep principal neurons and with a sustained firing in putative interneurons. Sustained and synchronous firing in principal cells ensues within 30-60 seconds and never occurs without the preceding fast activity. The results demonstrate that sustained and diffuse inhibition, without activation of principal cortical neurons, is required for the initiation of an ictal, seizure-like discharge generated in the EC in a model of acute ictogenesis. The data demonstrate that inhibition play a distinctive leading role in establishing the outburst of a focal epileptic seizure.

Message-ID: Volunteers needed for Brain Awareness Week! Brain Awareness Week is an annual public information campaign created by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives in order to educate the public on the functions of the brain and the importance of brain research. Since 1998, Montreal has participated in BAW by having graduate students from all four Montreal universities volunteer presentations at numerous elementary and secondary educational institutions. The event has earned us considerable praise from the schools visited and from the media, while nearly all the volunteers who participated reported it to be a valuable and enjoyable experience. This year BAW will be happening from March 12th to 16th. Many schools have registered for our presentations and we are currently calling on all students and post-docs to volunteer whatever time they have during this week. You do not have to prepare the presentation - we will do that for you! All you have to do is pick up the kit with all the information and go to the school to do the presentation. All you need is enthusiasm and a desire to teach. To participate, fill out the attached form and return it to BAWvolunteers at gmail.com. To learn more about Brain Awareness Week activities, please visit our website at http://www.sfn-montreal.ca/baw/main.htm.
