As you can see below, the Fall 2009 Program of the BIC Lecture Series will feature a number of introductory presentations to get you up to speed on the basics of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), positron emission tomography (PET) and transmagnetic stimulation (TMS), as well as how these are used to study the brain and its functions. Please join us for our fourth lecture of the season, which will be held on Monday, October the 26th, at 1:00 pm in the de Grandpr? Communications Centre of the MNI (3801 University Street, Montreal, QC, H3A 2B4). This lecture will be given by Dr. Georg Northoff ( http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/chairholders-titulaires/profile-eng.aspx?profileID=2543), who will be giving a presentation on the psychology and pathophysiology of depression. (Please note that we are fortunate to have Dr. Northoff visit the MNI next week and this particular lecture will be an example of how brain imaging techniques can be used to examine important clinical questions, not a general introduction to a particular brain imaging technique.)

Many of you know that for more than thirty years the Neuro Choir has come together each Holiday Season to sing traditional songs, mostly in English and French, and mostly in four-part a capella arrangements. We sing at two events; 1) we tour the wards one evening in late December to sing for the patients, and 2) we provide the musical entertainment at the Reitman Lunch. Each year we lose several old members due to turnover of the Neuro population and each year we get several new members, which continues the tradition. If you are someone who likes to sing, we would be very pleased if you would join us this year. Reading music is not essential - most of us learn our parts by ear. Our main practice time is Wednesdays/Fridays at noon. If it sounds interesting, please contact Ken at ken.hastings at mcgill.ca or phone (398)-1852 to find out where we are meeting.

JENNIFER Sent on behalf of Dr. Jens Pruessner Organized by the McGill Centre for Studies in Aging and the Aging and Alzheimer Research Axis, Douglas Institute A roundtable discussion with Pathik Wadhwa, Behavioral Perinatology Research Program, UC Irvine, USA Stress-related psychoneuroendocrine processes in human pregnancy on fetal developmental and health outcomes Dobell Pavilion, Bowerman Room B-1105 Wednesday, October 21, 2009 13h30-14h30 Dr. Wadhwa will give a short presentation followed by an extensive question and answer period. Anybody who is interested is welcome! Individual differences in psychoneuroendocrine function play an important role in health and disease. Developmental models postulate that these individual differences evolve through a progressive series of dynamic time-, place- and context-dependent interactions between genes and environments in fetal, infant and adult life. The effects of early experience have longer-lasting and more permanent consequences than those later in life. Experimental studies in animals have provided convincing evidence to support a causal role for stress-related psychoneuroendocrine processes in negatively influencing critical developmental and health outcomes over the life span, and have also offered valuable insights into putative physiological mechanisms. However, the generalizability of these findings from animals to humans may be limited by the existence of large inter-species differences in physiology and the developmental time-line. Dr. Wadhwa has initiated a program of research in behavioral perinatology and conducted studies over the past several years to examine the effects of stress-related psychoneuroendocrine processes in human pregnancy on fetal developmental and health outcomes. His findings support a significant and independent role for maternal prenatal stress in the etiology of prematurity-related outcomes, and suggest that these effects are mediated, in part, by the maternal-placental-fetal neuroendocrine axis, and specifically by placental corticotropin-releasing hormone.

Une discussion table-ronde avec Pathik Wadhwa, Programme de Recherche en Perinatalogie Comportementale, UC Irvine, USA Effet des orocessus Psychoneuroendocriniens reli?s au stress durant la grossesse sur la sant? et le d?veloppement du feotus. Pavillon Dobell, salle Bowerman B-1105 Le mercredi 21 octobre, 2009 ? 13h30 Dr. Wadhwa donnera une courte pr?sentation suivie d'une p?riode allong?e de questions et responses. Tous ceux et celles interess?s sont les bienvenus. Les diff?rences inter-individuelles au niveau psychoneuroendocrinien jouent un r?le important au niveau de la sant?. Les mod?les de d?veloppement postulent que ces diff?rences apparaissent ? la suite d'une s?rie d'interactions g?n?tique-environnement, d?pendantes du moment, endroit et contexte, et ce, ? tous les ?ges. Les effets des exp?riences pr?coces se sont aussi r?v?l?es plus importantes et plus stables que celles v?cues plus tard. Les ?tudes chez les animaux ont illustr? le r?le causal et n?gatif des processus psychoneuroendocrinologiques reli?s au stress dans le d?veloppement sain au travers de la vie, et nous ont aussi illustr? les m?canismes d?l?t?res potentiellement responsables pour ces effets. Cependant, la g?n?ralisation de ces mod?les animaux ? l'?tre humain peut ?tre limit? par des diff?rences physiologiques et d?veloppementales inter-esp?ces. Le Dr Wadhwa a cr?? un programme de recherche sur la p?rinatalit? comportement permettant l'?tude, depuis plusieurs ann?es, des effets des processus psychoneuroendocrinologiques reli?s au stress sur le d?veloppement f?tal humain et ses cons?quences. Ses r?sultats supportent un r?le significatif et ind?pendant du stress pr?natal chez la m?re sur l'?tiologie de trouble reli?s ? la pr?maturit?, et sugg?rent que cet effet est m?di? par l'axe neuroendocrinien entre la m?re et le foetus, sp?cifiquement via l'hormone cotricotropique placentaire. ________________________________________ From: Jennifer Chew, Ms. Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2009 10:44 AM To: Catherine D'Aguiar Subject: RE: Announcement for Wednesday's (tomorrow) round table discussion at the Douglas Hi Catherine: It does not work with cut and paste.

Peter has made critical contributions to our understanding of two fields of research; vision and eye movements. His big contributions to the former have been on the relationship between visual areas and behaviour as revealed by lesion studies, mapping of different efferent pathways from the retina (color opponent, ON, OFF, magno and parvocellular pathways), and early work on visual receptive fields in the primary visual cortex. His pioneering studies on eye movements have shown the importance of the frontal lobe and superior colliculus to voluntary eye movement control. Another of his remarkable achievements has been in education. He has one of the most remarkable "neurotrees" in the history of neuroscience having trained some of the most famous neuroscientist of our time. Recently he has become involved in the study of how electrical stimulation of the visual cortex might provide vision in the visually handicapped.
