Hello BIC - 

Jonny Smallwood in town - please join us for a special lecture this Wednesday. 

Jonathan Smallwood, Professor in Psychology / Cognitive Neuroscience, University of York, Uk 

The neural basis of on-going conscious experience
 
In everyday life our thoughts and feelings are not always driven by events in the external environment. Accordingly studies of phenomena such as mind-wandering illustrate that studying cognition exclusively using task related methods will fail to account for important aspects of human experience. This talk will review evidence that combines state-of-the-art measures of neural function with novel methods of experience sampling, to reveal the brain mechanisms that underlie different aspects of ongoing conscious experience. It will demonstrate neural systems important for attention/control are critical for (i) the efficient focus on external task relevant information, as well as (ii) the prioritization of patterns of internal or externally focused cognition in a manner that is in line with the demands of the environment. Furthermore, it will show the role of the default mode network is neither to support task negative states, nor to promote episodic content. Instead our studies show that this core neural system plays a critical role in how vivid and detailed conscious experiences are. Together this work paves the way for a formal account of how on-going conscious experience can focus on different sources of information, how these are prioritized, and how they can take on rich and detailed features.

Looking forward to seeing everybody there, 
Boris

Message-ID: <5736202F-5358-4A6D-A373-16575B1FC3AD@mcgill.ca>

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW in STRUCTURAL, FUNCTIONAL and DIFFUSION NEUROIMAGING
Montreal Neurological Institute and McGill Vision Research, McGill University, Montreal, Canada

We are seeking candidates for a funded postdoctoral position, shared between the laboratories of Janine Mendola (McGill Vision Research) and Amir Shmuel (MNI Brain Imaging Centre) at McGill University. The project is situated within a broader team grant that has structural and functional MRI of normal and clinical populations, as well as drug development and animal disease models. This team project creates an integrated vision with similar MRI protocols used for human and animal imaging. A major goal is to provide groundwork for a clinical trial.

The successful candidate will investigate pre-cortical and cortical processing of visual information in human subjects with normal vision and with visual disorders using functional MRI (fMRI) and diffusion MRI. Cutting-edge data acquisition and analysis - including network analysis and machine learning - will be used for the differential diagnosis and prediction of the clinical prognosis of subjects with acute and chronic (e.g. glaucoma) optic nerve trauma. Coordination with parallel animal studies is possible depending on the interest of the candidate.

The successful candidate will have access to a Siemens 3 Tesla Prisma scanner and a Siemens 7 Tesla Terra scanner. The vision community at McGill consists of about twenty interactive scientists working on psychophysical, computational, neurophysiological, and brain-imaging aspects of vision. The neuroscience community at McGill is outstanding.  Montreal is a cosmopolitan, livable city.

Candidates should (nearly) have a PhD. Candidates with strong analytical skills, and with research experience in computational methods, functional MRI, diffusion MRI, visual neuroscience or cognitive neuroscience, are encouraged to apply. Please send CV, statement of interests, and names of 2-3 references to janine.mendola at mcgill.ca<mailto:janine.mendola at mcgill.ca> or to amir.shmuel at mcgill.ca<mailto:amir.shmuel at mcgill.ca>.

These are TWO postdoctoral positions at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging Massachusetts General Hospital Harvard Medical School Position.

They are seeking postdoctoral fellows to pursue research in simultaneous PET/MR imaging in neuroscience applications.

The area of research will be developing and applying novel PET/MRI methods to investigate (1) in vivo neuroreceptor dynamics and function and (2) the impacts of neurovascular function on PET radiotracer kinetics. The research programs are highly translational spanning from animal models, first-in-human studies, to clinical applications. The appointment as a Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard Medical School research fellow will be for 2 years with possibility for extension based on performance and the availability of funding. The positions are available immediately.

Many thanks,

-Johans

The BIC will be hosting a special Feindel Lecture on September 5th, at 4 pm, in de Grandpre Communications Centre.

Dr. Albert Gjedde
"The moving brain: On stress, prediction, consciousness, and alpha7 nicotinic receptors".

Albert Gjedde is a Danish-Canadian neuroscientist who currently serves as Professor of Translational Neurobiology at the University of Southern Denmark. He is Emeritus Professor of Neurobiology and Pharmacology at the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen, and currently also Adjunct Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University, and Adjunct Professor of Radiology and Radiological Science at Johns Hopkins University.
As a junior investigator, Albert Gjedde worked as a visiting scientist at universities and research institutions in Lund, Cologne, Leipzig and Dresden, Paris, Szeged, and Baltimore. In 1986, he joined the McConnell Brain Imaging Center at McGill University, first as Associate and then as Full Professor from 1986 to 1994 and Director of the McConnell Brain Imaging Center. In Denmark, Albert Gjedde founded and headed the PET Center at Aarhus University Hospitals from 1994 to 2008, and in Aarhus he also founded the Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN) in 2001 and the Danish Neuroscience Center in 2008.
Albert Gjedde's research focuses on the relations between neuroplasticity and neurotransmission that can be revealed by mapping radio ligand binding and metabolism of the living brain. The investigations explore the relations among energy metabolism and neurotransmission, by recording changes under pharmacological and cognitive manipulations. He uses PET to understand the synthesis and release of neurotransmitter molecules and the behavior of these transmitters under different functional conditions of the brain, normal as well as pathological, and the spatial and temporal relations among changes of cerebral blood flow, which is a common measure of brain work, and the cerebral oxygen consumption rate, which is the more precise measure of this work. Albert Gjedde collaborates on studies that explore the lesions and degeneration of brain tissue in disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, stroke, depression, and somatizing disorders, as well as disorders of addiction, testing hypotheses that seek to explain the restructuring of neuronal networks after  processing of sensory activity by healthy subjects and by volunteers suffering from inborn or acquired lesions.


All are welcome.
