Narayana from the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. Dr. Narayana is a leading expert in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injury (SCI). Summary Evidence based on clinical, neurophysiological, and positron emission tomography (PET) studies demonstrate cortical reorganization in spinal cord injured subjects. Such reorganization presumably occurs as a mechanism to compensate for the functional loss in both human and experimental spinal cord injury (SCI). It is, therefore, suggested that methods which enhance spontaneous cortical plasticity might be useful for further promoting recovery after adult CNS injury. In the last few years, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) have become powerful tools for investigating human brain function. The utility of fMRI and DTI have been demonstrated in animals for investigating brain metabolism, cortical representation, and cortical plasticity in neurological disorders and their usage has steadily increased in the recent years. In this multi-disciplinary presentation, Dr. Narayana will discuss cutting-edge work from his group to combine fMRI and DTI studies to visualize the on-going plasticity changes in the brain following experimental spinal cord injury in rodent models.

Jennifer Speaker: Marta Kersten, Ph.D. student (CIM, McGill) Title: "Depth Perception in Translucent Volumes" Date: Monday, May 14 Time and place: 1 pm, ENGMC 437 Abstract: In this work, we present empirical studies that consider the effects of stereopsis and simulated aerial perspective on depth perception in translucent volumes. We consider a purely absorptive lighting model, in which light is not scattered or reflected, but is simply absorbed as it passes through the volume. A purely absorptive lighting model is used, for example, when rendering digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs), which are synthetic X-ray images reconstructed from CT volumes. Unlike surface rendered volumes, however, a volume-rendered DRR lacks depth information. Surgeons make use of DRRs in planning and performing operations, so an improvement of depth perception in DRRs may help diagnosis and surgical planning. As well such empirical studies, help provide new ways to visualize complex volumetric data and to explore the capabilities of the human visual system.

Beverly?s studies focus on the mechanisms and function of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in yeast. She has examined many aspects of this process including: 1) How components of the clathrin machinery link to the actin cytoskeleton 2) The regulation of endocytosis by phospholipids and kinases 3) How ubiquitination of cargo acts as an endocytic-sorting signal The title of her talk is ?From cargo sorting to vesicle budding: Temporal progression of endocytosis? It should be fun and I hope to see you there.

As with all the waves of immigration that have peopled Canada and the United States, the intellectual influx has affected both the migrants and their host countries in innumerable ways. This is particularly true of the neurologists and psychiatrists who were forced to leave Central Europe after 1933 and who have since distinctly altered the landscape of medical science and public mental health services. Regarding the special case of the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), internationally renowned since the time of the famous brain surgeon Wilder Penfield, it will be shown how the microcosm of modern neuroscience was shaken up through the integration of a remarkable group of neuroscientist ?migr?s (neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropathologists, and clinical psychologists) who brought with them particular professional skills. Like other outstanding scientific and social institutions of the neurosciences and psychiatry in Canada and the U.S., their internal and local histories cannot be understood without taking into account the fates of the individuals and the impact of forced migration. In a tour d'horizon, senior faculty members will share their memories of interacting with scientist ?migr?s with the audience as well as an interdisciplinary group of migration scholars, elucidating one of the most fascinating and tragic events in the recent history of medicine and science. This evening is open to the public and marks the beginning of an international three-day Scientific Roundtable of experts from Canada, the U.S., Germany, Austria, and Australia at McGill University. To register for the Scientific Roundtable, please contact Dr. Stahnisch (frank.stahnisch at mail.mcgill.ca) or Dr. Borck (cornelius.borck at mcgill.ca).

Dr. Dan Dennett, "our best contemporary philosopher ... the next Bertrand Russell", will speak at the MNI on Monday, May 28. His lecture >From Animal to Human: The evolution of human culture, at 4 pm in the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre, should be lively and provocative. Dr. Dennett, recognized as a brilliant philosopher, is concerned with the 'Big Questions' of the mind, consciousness, evolution, and artificial intelligence. His ideas have sparked controversy and his writing gets significant recognition: Consciousness Explained was a national best seller, one of the New York Times Best Books in 1991 and made the Times Books of the Century list. In 1995, Darwin's Dangerous Idea was a finalist for both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Dr. Dennett is Co-director of the Center for Cognitive Studies, Tufts University, and a member of the MNI Advisory Board. He will receive a Doctor of Science, honoris causa at McGill Convocation on May 28. Dr Dennett is a brilliant thinker: as conversant in psychology, neuroscience and computer science as he is in philosophy.

Communications Centre, Brain Tumor Research Centre, MNI. Over the years, Steve has carried out pioneering work on characterizing channelopathies and neurological disease. Dr. Cannon's lab is interested in gaining a better understanding of how ion channels regulate electrical excitability of cells and of how defects in these channels lead to human disease. In the past decade, mutations of ion channel genes have been found for inherited diseases that cause episodic paralysis, familial migraine, episodic ataxia, fatal cardiac arrhythmias, and some forms of epilepsy. Dr. Cannon has been studying the consequences of mutations in sodium, calcium, and chloride channels that have been linked to muscle disorders causing episodic paralysis or stiffness (myotonia). Many disease-associated mutations alter the tendency for a channel to open or close (gating behavior), and another interest of his lab is fundamental mechanisms of sodium channel gating. Cannon SC.

Dr. Dan Dennett, "our best contemporary philosopher ... the next Bertrand Russell", will speak at the MNI on Monday, May 28. His lecture >From Animal to Human: The evolution of human culture, at 4 pm in the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre, should be lively and provocative. Dr. Dennett, recognized as a brilliant philosopher, is concerned with the 'Big Questions' of the mind, consciousness, evolution, and artificial intelligence. His ideas have sparked controversy and his writing gets significant recognition: Consciousness Explained was a national best seller, one of the New York Times Best Books in 1991 and made the Times Books of the Century list. In 1995, Darwin's Dangerous Idea was a finalist for both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Dr. Dennett is Co-director of the Center for Cognitive Studies, Tufts University, and a member of the MNI Advisory Board. He will receive a Doctor of Science, honoris causa at McGill Convocation on May 28. Dr Dennett is a brilliant thinker: as conversant in psychology, neuroscience and computer science as he is in philosophy. You don't want to miss this lecture.

Communications Centre, Brain Tumor Research Centre, MNI. Over the years, Steve has carried out pioneering work on characterizing channelopathies and neurological disease. Dr. Cannon's lab is interested in gaining a better understanding of how ion channels regulate electrical excitability of cells and of how defects in these channels lead to human disease. In the past decade, mutations of ion channel genes have been found for inherited diseases that cause episodic paralysis, familial migraine, episodic ataxia, fatal cardiac arrhythmias, and some forms of epilepsy. Dr. Cannon has been studying the consequences of mutations in sodium, calcium, and chloride channels that have been linked to muscle disorders causing episodic paralysis or stiffness (myotonia). Many disease-associated mutations alter the tendency for a channel to open or close (gating behavior), and another interest of his lab is fundamental mechanisms of sodium channel gating. Cannon SC.
