Room 101 Rabinovitch House, McGill University 3640 rue de la Montagne, Montreal, QC (enter main door via north-side driveway) Investigating the resting brain with MEG Esther Florin, Ph.D. (Dynamic Neuroimaging Lab, MNI) Abstract: During the past decade, reproducible connectivity patterns of brain activity during rest have been identified and thoroughly investigated using PET and fMRI (Gusnard & Raichle, 2001; Raichle et al., 2001; Greicius et al., 2003). However, little is still known about the electrophysiological correlates of structured BOLD fluctuations and correlations detected during resting state. In the presented study, we demonstrate with MEG source imaging a possible electrophysiological mechanism underlying resting-state BOLD fluctuations. Our approach is based on the hypothesis of cross-frequency coupling as a vehicle of communication and integration between and within brain regions (Steriade, 2006). As such, this mechanism represents an ideal candidate to support the resting-state networks that have been shown to match some of the major anatomical connectivity pathways across the whole brain. We were able to identify patterns of phase-amplitude coupling between low-frequency bands and high-gamma oscillations, which reveal the regions connected during resting-state. Overall, our results suggest that the mechanisms underlying the brain's resting-state networks as detected with fMRI are based on the cross-frequency coupling between the phase of low-frequency components and the amplitude of high-gamma oscillatory fluctuations. Bio: Dr. Florin is a physicist who works in the Dynamic Neuroimaging Lab (neuroSPEED) with Sylvain Baillet. Her primary research interest is in time series analysis and its application to neural data of healthy humans and of epilepsy and Parkinson patients. Currently her work focuses on identifying the resting state activity in healthy humans with MEG. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Speaker: Dr Jonathan Rocheleau , PhD, Assistant Professor, Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto, Affiliated Scientist, Toronto General Research Institute, University Health Network, Assistant Professor, Departments of Physiology and Medicine, University of Toronto Title : Pancreatic islet-on-a-chip: a window into tissue molecular physiology Abstract: Diabetes is a growing epidemic due to our aging population. Central to progression of this disease is the pancreatic islet, a micro-organ responsible for regulation of insulin secretion. Understanding the mechanisms of pancreatic islet function and survival are critical to the development of therapies to treat diabetes. Due to complexity of the organ as well as the small amount of available tissue, traditional biochemical assays are limited in their ability to dissect islet physiology. This seminar will use a series of vignettes to describe our efforts using microfluidic devices combined with quantitative fluorescence microscopy. The goals will be to show our research progress as well as introduce methods directly relevant to many areas of cell biology and molecular physiology.

We are very grateful that investigators new to MEG have taken the time and showed interest in trying the technique for their research. We are glad to offer everyone who participated so far full assistance in experimental design, data collection and analysis for a handful of pilots, free of charge, which will help investigators learn rapidly about MEG imaging and populate subsequent grant applications. The next step is the Study Speed-Voting session, which will take place on Thursday Dec 13, 1-3pm, (Jeanne-Timmins Auditorium, MNI, 3801 University). We had to preselect 20 projects to make sure the session can be wrapped up in 2hrs max. Most preselection criteria had to be designed after the fact, due to the overwhelming number of entries: - investigator or his/her supervisor has no ongoing or past MEG experience - one entry per investigator/supervisor - favor projects where student/post-doc was identified - favor projects from the Montreal region The title of the 20 preselected projects are at he bottom of this message. Preselected projects will be presented in 4 mins by their investigators. The audience will vote, so please bring colleagues, friends and family and participate in the decision! The score obtained by the presentations will count for 50% of the final decision to award the Grand Prize of a full n=20 MEG study with complete technical assistance (from paradigm implementation to data analysis). The other 50% will be from the evaluation by the MEG Research Committee and the MEG at McGill core personnel. Hoping to see everyone Thursday!

Everyone had just 4 mins to convince the 70+ audience members that their project deserved to enter the second phase of selection of the 2012 MEG Study Competition. Thank you very much indeed to all participants and attendees. The people has spoken. Everyone had to pick their 3 preferred studies. The first 10 projects below will now undergo peer-review from MEG experts outside the campus and our MEG Research Committee to finalize the selection of the 3 prize winners. Congratulations and thank you again to every participants. Final results will be announced early January. Have a great week-end, Sylvain.
