Here is an abstract of Jake's talk: ----------------- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by pathological aggregation of two different, aberrantly conformed proteins, beta-amyloid and tau. Classic pathological studies based on extensive autopsy cohorts have taught us that these proteins, particularly tau, spread through the cerebral cortex in a specific and highly stereotyped manner. However, rare subtypes of AD with divergent patterns of tau deposition have been reported and some studies have also reported variation even in typical AD. Pathology studies suffer from limitations that make identifying pathological subtypes challenging, including limited spatial sampling and semi-quantitative measurement strategies. However, neuroimaging subtyping studies have also been limited by non-specific measurements and methodological challenges that I will discuss in detail. I will report the application of a novel spatiotemporal subtyping approach to a large (n=1764), multisite dataset of tau-PET images. I will describe the phenotypic presentation of the subtypes identified, how they conform with and diverge from previous literature, and how these results fit with the current models of AD pathological progression. ----------------- From alexey.kostikov at mcgill.ca Mon Dec 16 10:34:18 2019 From: alexey.kostikov at mcgill.ca (Alexey Kostikov, Dr) Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2019 15:34:18 +0000 Subject: [BIC-announce] Killam Lecture - December 17, 2019 Message-ID: For distribution please: Neuroimaging of Human Epigenetic Regulation Jacob Hooker, PhD Harvard Medical School Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging 4 PM TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2019 de Grandpr? Communications Centre Abstract. There are an estimated 5.4 million Americans living with Alzheimer?s disease. Over 4% of all adults have suffered from a serious mental illness in the past year. Advances in the treatment of brain diseases are needed dramatically. The challenge is daunting given our incredibly limited understanding of the dynamic relationship between neurochemicals in the living human brain at rest, during stimulation, or through drug manipulation. New hybrid, non-invasive imaging cameras can now provide the first glimpse of both chemical changes in the brain and the functional changes that result. What?s more is that these new systems have the potential to allow us to explore the interplay between two (or more!) neurotransmitter systems and the functional consequence they facilitate in the brain. These changes can be resolved into temporal components and taken together can provide the basis for the first whole-brain neurochemical models. My presentation will review human imaging technologies that can be used to understand neurochemistry and accelerate drug discovery. Using examples from my research group, I will explore the signatures of neuroinflammation that exist in neurodegeneration, consider emerging opportunities for neuroepigenetic imaging, and highlight new technologies that we are developing that are poised to fundamentally change what we can measure in the living human brain.
