Communications Centre Hosted by: David R. Colman, PhD ---------------------------------------------------------- Research July 1992 - present Nervous system diseases are among the leading causes of handicaps in non-institutionalized people in the United States. Traditional goals of neurorehabilitation have focused on decreasing handicaps of patients by improving function at the level of disability. However, responsible rehabilitation begins by promoting preventative measures. Among the preventative measures that might improve recovery after nervous system injuries such as stroke includes pharmacological prevention of delayed cell death. Several converging lines of inquiry suggest that free radicals may be important mediators of primary and secondary neuronal injury and consequent disability in acute and chronic neurodegenerative states. However, antioxidants have been disappointing as neurological therapeutics. These limitations derive, in part, from inadequate understanding of markers of oxidative stress in neurons, mechanisms of defense against oxidants; how these endogenous mechanisms of defense can be augmented to therapeutic advantage and the role of free radicals in normal cell function. We have used the experimental leverage of an in vitro model of neuronal oxidative stress to demonstrate: a) that free radicals can inappropriately unleash a protein synthesis-dependent suicide death pathway in neurons. b.) to identify transcription factors such as NF-kB and hypoxia-inducible factor-1, which are targets for antioxidants in abrogating cell death; and c.) to purify a contaminating and multipotent anti-apoptotic activity from a bovine liver catalase preparation and to identify it as arginase. These studies have identified novel strategies for limiting neuronal apoptosis and potential markers for antioxidant treatment in the central nervous system. In accomplishing these research goals, I have participated in training undergraduates, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. I have also taught a seminar course at Harvard Medical School on the "Transcriptional regulation of survival and death in neurons". The course attempts, by using distinct transcription factors as case studies, to outline how transcription factors may regulate homeostatic responses and how small molecules that emulate these transcriptional responses might be useful in decreasing disability associated with neurological disease. The overall goal of these research and teaching activities is to impact at the hospital bedside, neurological disability by developing small molecules that prevent neuronal death. In keeping with these goals I have been participating in the evaluation and care of patients on the neurology ward who are in need of rehabilitation.

Louis Collins. Please read it all! jf --- Hi all, I'm writing to give you an update on the BIC web page. This email is a bit long, but I've tried to compress all the necessary information into a single email. As you may know our old web page was antiquated and its replacement, while better looking, was no easier to use. One of my PhD students, Marta Kersten, has been working on transferring our Bic Web Page from a hard to use, hard to maintain database-based web page to a hopefully easier to maintain, user-driven, wiki-based web page. Our aim is to have a living web document that we can populate with content and keep up to date. By using a wiki, many people (with the appropriate permissions) will be able to edit content. Our goal is to have - 2-3 key people maintain the main pages of the web site - one person per lab that will control a lab's web pages, and - users (i.e., students/fellows) can edit and maintain the majority of individual pages that describe their work. The public will be able to see (but not edit) the content. My lab tested completed alpha testing in April. The labs of Bruce, Alan and Alain completed beta testing in May and June. Overall, the response (and the result) has been quite good. Information has been put in to describe our labs, the people in the labs and each of the students/fellows have updated their pages. Most of the kinks have been worked out, and Marta has made the required changes to the wiki. To get an idea of what is possible, have a look at: The bic home page: http://noodles.bic.mni.mcgill.ca My lab's home page: http://noodles.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/ResearchLabsIPL/HomePage My BIC home page: http://noodles.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/PeopleFaculty/CollinsDLouis My personal home page: http://noodles.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/PersonalCollinsdlouis/HomePage Play around on the site to get feel for what is there. Marta transferred as much of the information from www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca as possible. I'm sure that you will notice information that is incorrect. Over the coming weeks (end of June and July), I would like you and your colleagues to play with the system to add more content - specifically for the pages that concern you. The wiki is really quite friendly - it is easy to enter content and keep it up to date. Once this is done, we will open the site to public viewing. See below for instructions on how to get started. Please don't hesitate to contact me or Marta if you have any questions, -Louis D. Louis Collins, PhD McConnell Brain Imaging Center Associate Professor Montreal Neurological Institute Neurology & Neurosurgery WB-314 Biomedical Engineering 3801 University St. louis.collins at mcgill.ca Montreal, Quebec. www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~louis CANADA H3A 2B4 voice: (514)-398-4227/8554 Fax: (514)-398-2975 BIC WIKI INSTRUCTIONS So here is how to proceed. First, the web site homepage address: http://noodles.bic.mni.mcgill.ca You'll note that the wiki-based web site has a similar 'look and feel' as the new website. Begin by poking around to see the structure. There is a site menu/map on the left, news elements on the right and the main page in the middle. Next, look at the 'People' pages by clicking on the menu on the left. Click next on either 'Students', 'Postdocs', 'Staff' or 'Faculty' depending on your affiliation. The table/list that appears is automagically generated. (Marta is looking at better ways to format these tables). The columns have name, title, personal website and email entries for each person. If you click on your name, then you'll come to your 'official personal web page'. The data on the 'official personal web page' is stored in a database. The goal here is to have a similar 'look and feel' for all individuals in the web site. Be patient, below I'll tell you where you get to be creative. The text on this page is editable with a form by clicking on the red 'Edit' that is on the left, below the text of the page. You'll need to be able to login to edit your data. Marta has written a tutorial http://noodles.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Tutorial/Tutorial to instruct you on logging in, editing content and creating new content. If you don't have a wiki login/password you'll need to email Marta as instructed in the tutorial. So, your first assignment is to update the text in this form so that you accurately describe who you are and what you do in a short paragraph. You can make sure that the other information is correct (email address, telephone and fax numbers, etc... Note that the website field (if filled in) points back to the www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~username page on the old website. You can leave this like it is or change it to point to your own (non-official) personal website on any other system, or you can point to your new customized non-official web site that you will create (see next paragraph). Feeling creative? Marta has instructions for creating new pages in the tutorial, including customized personal pages. For your second assignment, follow the instructions in the tutorial and create a custom personal web page to describe whatever you like: your research, your publications, your favorite color, your favorite food and the name of your dog. We are very much interested in having comments. Please let Marta or I know what you think. Good luck and have fun! -Louis From jennifer.chew at mcgill.ca Mon Jun 29 11:07:27 2009 From: jennifer.chew at mcgill.ca (Jennifer Chew, Ms.) Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:07:27 -0400 Subject: [BIC-announce] To all PET Investigators from Dr. Jean-Paul Soucy Message-ID: Please see the note that follows from Dr. Jean-Paul Soucy. Thank you. Jennifer To: all PET investigators. At this time, the PET Unit of the BIC offers what is likely to be the largest choice of different PET radiopharmaceuticals found in any PET centre in the world. We can produce 14 different agents on a more or less regular basis, a truly remarkable feat, and we owe a lot to our radiochemistry team for making it possible. This, however, is the absolute limit of what we can do given our equipment and space constraints. Recently, some investigators have prepared very interesting research projects involving tracers we do not normally prepare. While we all appreciate their enthusiasm, this has resulted in situations where they had to be told that preparing the agent(s) requested was not possible for us. In order to prevent such unfortunate events from happening again, I would like to ask all investigators writing new PET projects with tracers they are not certain we offer to first check with me or with Dr Ralf Schirrmacher about the status of those products at the BIC.

College of Wisconsin), Jean-Marc Lina (Ecole de Technologie Superieure, CRM) ( http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/Inverse09/index_e.php) ********************************************************************************************* Sylvain Baillet, Jean-MarcLina and myself are organizing a workshop entitled "Inverse problems in brain imagery and multimodal data fusion". This workshop supported by the "Centre de Recherche en Math?matiques" de l'Universit? de Montr?al (http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/) will last 5 days in Montreal from the 24th to the 29th of August 2009 The diversity of non invasive imaging devices (MRI, EEG, MEG, Near Infrared Spectroscopyl) allows one to explore the brain dynamics provided there exists a mathematical framework that encompass this multimodality and the complexity of the inherent sources of the cerebral signals. Despite a general agreement about the source modelling, many mathematical strategies have been elaborated in order to solve the inevitable ill-posed inverse problem. What are the common features between those approaches? What are the mathematical frameworks the most appropriate for handling simultaneous measurements from different modalities? What are the best approaches for estimating both spatial and temporal brain activities? The workshop will consist in full 3-hours invited lectures followed by more specific presentations and one poster session. Participants interested in presenting a contributed talk or a poster are invited to submit an abstract before the 15th of July 2009. Participants interested in attending, the registration is now open, places are limited Check our website for more information: http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/Inverse09/index_e.php Preliminary program below We hope to see you in Montreal Grova Christophe, Baillet Sylvain, and Lina Jean-Marc ----------------------------- Monday August 24th: Inverse problem (1) - Matti Hamalainen - Martinos Cent. for Biomed.
