Pathways and Connections<http://www.mcgill.ca/ipn/continuing/events/pathways>

*How does one become a successful neuroscientist?*  This informal seminar
series will try to answer this question through a series of conversations
with some of the most successful neuroscientists in the world: researchers
who are affiliated with McGill University <http://www.mcgill.ca/>’s  Integrated
Program in Neuroscience <http://www.mcgill.ca/ipn/> or former McGill
Neuroscience Alumni who are now in the non-academic world.   This will be
your chance to talk to them about the circuitous pathways and the
important, but often serendipitous, connections that led them to where they
are now.

*The next session of the Pathways and
Connections<http://www.mcgill.ca/ipn/continuing/events/pathways/>
series
will feature **Dr. Petra
Schweinhardt*<http://www.mcgill.ca/dentistry/research/our-researchers/schweinhardt>
* starting at 5:30 pm on Wednesday, December 12th in Thomson House (room
403).*

*Dr. Petra Schweinhardt<http://www.mcgill.ca/dentistry/research/our-researchers/schweinhardt>
* received her MD from Ruprecht-Karls-University in 2000 and her PhD from
the Pain Imaging Neuroscience Group at Oxford University in 2006. She is
currently an Assistant Professor at McGill University's Alan Edwards Centre
for Research on Pain. Her research is aimed at gaining a better
understanding of the cerebral mechanisms of pain and pain modulation in
health and disease, using neuropsychopharmacological and brain imaging
techniques. She is particularly interested in the alterations that occur in
the central nervous system of chronic pain patients; how these alterations
interact with endogenous pain facilitatory or inhibitory circuitry and
consequently contribute to the generation and maintenance of chronic pain.
Her ongoing projects include: (i) The role of dopamine for pain processing
in health and disease; (ii) the impact of brain alterations on pain
inhibitory capacity and cognitive function in fibromyalgia; and (iii) the
importance of emotional memory processes for the generation and maintenance
of chronic pain.
