Killam Lecture

 

Dear Colleagues:

Our Killam speaker for tomorrow November 2nd at 4:00 p.m. in the de Grandpr? Communications Centre <http://neuromedia.mcgill.ca/mnibooking/week.php?year=2007&month=09&day=07&area=3&room=4>  (MNI), is Dr. Fr?deric Saudou from the Institut Curie, Universit? Paris-Sud, France.

 

The title of his talk is:   Huntington's Disease: From Axonal Transport to Ciliogenesis

 

Dr Fr?d?ric Saudou, Director of the Signalisation, neurobiologie et cancer unit <http://www.curie.fr/recherche/themes/detail_unites.cfm/lang/_gb/id/57.htm> at Institut Curie i <http://www.curie.fr/recherche/themes/detail_unites.cfm/lang/_gb/id/57.htm> n Paris. Dr Saudou works on Huntington's disease (HD), an autosomal dominant disease due to the abnormal expansion of a polyglutamine repeat (polyQ) in the protein huntingtin. HD is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by abnormal apoptosis of neurons in part of the brain called the striatum. Dr Saudou's group studies the molecular mechanisms and signal transduction pathways controlling neuronal death in HD. He has made important contribution into understanding how phosphorylation and trafficking of Huntingtin contributes to HD pathogenesis. Fr?d?ric is an engaging speaker. I hope you will join us for his seminar entitled "Huntington's disease: From axonal transport to ciliogenesis".

 

I look forward to seeing you all there.

Dear all,

Our next Biomedical Engineering Dpt seminar will be next Wednesday November 3rd

Wednesday - November 3rd,  at 1 pm

Location: Room  333 Lyman Duff Building (Biomedical Engineering Dpt).

Speaker: Dr. F?lix Carbonell Gonz?lez, Postdoctoral fellow Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University

Title: Statistical Analysis of fMRI data

Abstract:
The purpose of the talk is to present basic foundations of modeling and inference in fMRI data.
We present how standard time series modeling can be adjusted to volumes of fMRI data. In particular,
we show how spatial regularization techniques reduces bias significatively and increases the sensitivity
of SPMs. We also present regularization techniques in the context of fixed effect analysis for combining
statistical results of several runs, sessions and subjects. Finally, some aspects of statistical analysis
in resting state data are also presented

A list of upcoming seminars can be found at : http://www.bme.mcgill.ca/seminars.html


See you there

*BIC Lecture Series: Fall 2010 Program*

The BIC Lecture
Series<http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Seminars/BICLectureSeries>is a
series of informal lectures on brain imaging that is presented at the
McConnell
Brain Imaging Centre <http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Main/HomePage> (BIC) of
the Montreal Neurological Institute <http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/> (MNI) by
experts in the field; these lectures are open to all.

As you can see below, the Fall 2010 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 (fMRI), diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic
resonance spectroscopy (MRS), as well as how these are used to study the
brain and its functions.

Please join us for our sixth lecture of the season, which will be held on
Monday, November the 8th, at 1:00 pm in the de Grandpr? Communications
Centre <http://neuromedia.mcgill.ca/mnibooking/facdirections/dgccdir.htm> of
the MNI (3801 University Street, Montreal, QC, H3A 2B4).

This lecture will be given by Dr. Jennifer
Campbell<http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~jcampbel/>,
who will be presenting an introduction to diffusion tensor imaging.

We hope to see there!

Neuro Film Series #2 - "Away From Her" - November 11 at 6:30 pm



Our next film is Away from Her. A film that is both a love story and a portrayal of the devastating effect of Alzheimer's Disease. Away From Her (2007) is a beautiful film based on a short story by Alice Munro, starring acclaimed actress Julie Christie and directed by the talented Sarah Polley. The movie is a poignant and complex look at the effects of dementia on an individual, on her relationship with her husband, and on new relationships she forms after moving to a nursing home. It highlights both the tragic and redeeming aspects of loving a person suffering from an illness that erodes core aspects of 'self,' including memory and personality, as so many neurological diseases do.  The movie captures the complexity of relationships under these circumstances.



Away From Her will be hosted by Neurologist Dr. Lesley Fellows who is witness to these struggles in her clinical work, and is often inspired and touched by how the bonds of love and family resist the sometimes very tragic effects of these illnesses.
Neuro Movie Nights are free and snacks can be purchased (including wraps and popcorn!)
For more information see: www.neuroevents.mcgill.ca<http://www.neuroevents.mcgill.ca>
The series will continue in the coming months. Check the website for updates!
All films take place at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, 3801 University street

Wednesday - November 10th,  at 1 pm

Location: Room  333 Lyman Duff Building (Biomedical Engineering Dpt).

Title: Resting-state brain networks in functional MRI

Abstract:

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) recently provided important new insights in the organization of human brain networks at rest, i.e. in the absence of some explicit experimental stimulations. These resting-state networks (RSNs) are distributed sets of regions spanning the whole brain with highly correlated temporal activities. During this talk, I will outline the main concepts and methods involved in the analysis of RSNs. The topology of the main RSNs will be reviewed, as well as some cognitive and clinical applications of this new approach.

The following excellent review is a suggested reading.

Neuro Film Series #2 - "Away From Her" - Today, November 11 at 6:30 pm



Our next film is Away from Her. A film that is both a love story and a portrayal of the devastating effect of Alzheimer's Disease. Away From Her (2007) is a beautiful film based on a short story by Alice Munro, starring acclaimed actress Julie Christie and directed by the talented Sarah Polley. The movie is a poignant and complex look at the effects of dementia on an individual, on her relationship with her husband, and on new relationships she forms after moving to a nursing home. It highlights both the tragic and redeeming aspects of loving a person suffering from an illness that erodes core aspects of 'self,' including memory and personality, as so many neurological diseases do.  The movie captures the complexity of relationships under these circumstances.



Away From Her will be hosted by Neurologist Dr. Lesley Fellows who is witness to these struggles in her clinical work, and is often inspired and touched by how the bonds of love and family resist the sometimes very tragic effects of these illnesses.
Neuro Movie Nights are free and snacks can be purchased (including wraps and popcorn!)
For more information see: www.neuroevents.mcgill.ca<http://www.neuroevents.mcgill.ca>
The series will continue after the holidays.  Check the website for updates!
All films take place at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, 3801 University street (Jeanne Timmins amphitheatre)

Subject: 	3T MRI Upgrade

From:  	Bruce Pike, BIC Director

To: 		All MRI facility users

Date:	November 23, 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear colleagues,

On December 15, 2010 we will be upgrading our 3 T MRI scanner 
software from revision level VB15 to VB17.  This upgrade will add 
functionality and will also include new computer hardware that should 
speed-up reconstruction.   This upgrade will not involve any change in 
major scanner hardware components (e.g. main magnet, gradients, 
RF, etc.) and should not cause any problems for your ongoing studies.  
All current protocols based on Siemens product sequence on the 3 T 
will be translated directly to the upgraded system by Siemens and 
should be immediately available after December 15th.   Custom 
sequences (developed locally or obtained from other sites) will have 
to be recompiled and reinstalled and may thus take a few days.

We will be performing pre- and post-upgrade quality control scans 
to verify the stability of the system but we do not expect any problems 
with this relatively minor upgrade.   Nonetheless, it is always prudent 
for you to pay attention to the data you collect and to raise any 
concerns you might have immediately.

If you have any concerns or questions please contact Mike Ferreira, 
Ilana Leppert , Andre Cormier or me. 

Regards,

Bruce Pike

 Dear all,

Our last  Biomedical Engineering Dpt seminar of this term will be  Wednesday December 1st

Wednesday - December 1st,  at 1 pm

Location: Room  333 Lyman Duff Building (Biomedical Engineering Dpt).

Speaker: Dr. Fr?d?ric Lesage, PhD, Prof. G?nie ?lectrique, D?partement de G?nie Biom?dical, ?cole Polytechnique Montr?al


Title: Hemodynamic correlates of aging: an optical imaging study.

Abstract:

Abstract: Aging, hypertension, and Alzheimer diseases (AD) are major determinants of cognitive impairment. Although only certain aspects of cognitive function are affected in normal aging, age remain powerful risk factor for the cognitive decline caused by hypertension and AD. In this work, the effect of aging on hemodynamic signals in an animal model of healthy aging, the Lou/C rat, is described. Multispectral intrinsic optical imaging combined with speckle contrast imaging is shown to provide estimates of various hemodynamic and metabolic parameters enabling to study their changes with age. We then describe how optical techniques may be used to perform similar work in humans as well as associated challenges.

A list of upcoming seminars can be found at : http://www.bme.mcgill.ca/seminars.html

________________________________
BIC Lecture Series: Fall 2010 Program

The BIC Lecture Series<http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Seminars/BICLectureSeries> is a series of informal lectures on brain imaging that is presented at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre<http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Main/HomePage> (BIC) of the Montreal Neurological Institute<http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/> (MNI) by experts in the field; these lectures are open to all.

As you can see below, the Fall 2010 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 (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), as well as how these are used to study the brain and its functions.

We hope to see there!
Zografos Caramanos, Petra Schweinhardt, Amir Shmuel, Sridar Narayanan, and Jennifer Chew (Organizers)

Killam Lecture

 

Speaker:  Michael Meaney, PhD

Douglas Mental Health, University Institute

 

Title:  Epigenetic Neuroscience:  Nature and Nurture

 

Date:  TODAY

 

Time:  4pm

 

Place:  de Grandpre Communication Centre

===========================================

 

I am very pleased to be hosting Michael Meaney as the MNI/Killam seminar speaker for Tuesday Nov 30 (4:00 pm, de Grandpre Communications Centre).

 

Michael is one of McGill's best-known scientists internationally.  His work on environmental/experiential effects on the genome and on life-long behavioral states, has made him a leader - the leader - in a contentious and extremely significant scientific arena: behavioral patterning through early-life experience. 

 

The subject has a high intrinsic interest for basic biology and for medicine, but in addition to that, Michael is a very gifted communicator.  Even if you don't know the field, you will find the seminar of great interest.  All the more so if you have any pre-existing insight.

 

I hope you can join us for a very stimulating lecture.

 

All the best.

 

Ken
