[BIC-announce] Pathways and Connections: Dr. Andrea Bernasconi and Dr. Neda Ladbon-Bernasconi (Wed-April-2nd at 5:30 pm; Montreal Neurological Institute, room 124)

[Zografos 'Aki' CARAMANOS]

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

*How does one become a successful neuroscientist?*  This informal
discussion 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/>.   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/> Discussion Series
will feature **Dr. Andrea Bernasconi
<http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/neuro_team/epilepsy/andrea_bernasconi/> and Dr.
Neda Ladbon-Bernasconi
<http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/neuro_team/epilepsy/neda_bernasconi/> starting at
5:30 pm on Wednesday, April 2nd, in room 124 of the Montreal Neurological
Institute (3801 University Street
<http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/patients/maps/>).*


*Wednesday, April 2, 2014, 5:30 pm, Neuro 124: The husband and wife team
of Dr. Andrea Bernasconi
<http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/neuro_team/epilepsy/andrea_bernasconi/>,
Associate Professor of Neurology, and Dr. Neda Ladbon-Bernasconi
<http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/neuro_team/epilepsy/neda_bernasconi/>, Assistant
Professor of Neurology, are both neurologists and epileptologists at the
Montreal Neurological Institute.  Together, they run the Neuroimaging of
Epilepsy Lab (NOEL) <http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~noel/> in the McConnell
Brain Imaging Centre.  Their lab provides a unique environment fostering
links between graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in Neuroscience,
Computer Science, Engineering, and Neurology. This multidisciplinary
environment has put NOEL in a unique position to generate a wide range of
research perspectives and to develop novel methods of investigation that
can directly impact the management and quality of care of patients with
epilepsy.  Their research combines structural and functional MRI with
statistical modeling. They use advanced morphometric (anatomical) and
functional MRI (including resting-state fMRI) to assess cortical
architecture, function, and plasticity in a search for endophenotypes and
biomarkers of epileptogenesis. Main topics include automated lesion
detection through computational modeling and machine learning, subcortical
and cortical brain segmentation, analysis of brain networks based on
graph-theoretical methods and independent component analysis. They are
interested in tracking disease progression and its consequences on brain
plasticity, connectivity and cognition. *
