Speaker: Bratislav Misic Wednesday, April 8, 2020 4:00 - 5:00 pm Zoom (registration required) With the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, the Cognition and Circuits and the Feindel Brain Imaging Centre Seminar Series have decided to combine forces and go virtual! The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918?2014), Former Director of the Neuro (1972?1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging. Speakers will include scientists from across The Neuro, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders. Seminars will be held every Wednesday from 4-5 p.m. Talks will be live broadcast each week through Zoom. All speaker presentations will be followed by a Q & A and discussion forum. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in presenting please contact us to secure a spot on the schedule. Talk abstract The complex network spanned by millions of axons and synaptic contacts acts as a conduit for both healthy brain function and for dysfunction. Collective signaling and communication among populations of neurons supports flexible behaviour and cognitive operations. At the same time, perturbations, such as stimulation-induced dynamic activity or the accumulation of pathogenic proteins, often spread from their source location via axonal projections. Here I will focus on how two fundamental types of dynamics - electrical signaling and molecular transport - can be modeled in brain networks. How to participate via Zoom: 1. You can either join a meeting via the invite link or the Meeting ID #. The meeting ID # is the number found at the end of the invite link. 2. If you click the link it will automatically bring you to the meeting. If you do not have the link and only the meeting ID go to the Zoom application and click ?Join a meeting? where it will prompt you to input your name and the Meeting ID #. 3. Use the toolbar at the bottom of your screen to mute/unmute yourself and to enable/disable your video. Looking forward to reconnecting!

Wednesday, April 15, 2020 4:00 - 5:00PM Zoom (registration required) Speaker: Sarah Lariviere Talk abstract Temporal lobe epilepsy is a recognized surgically-amenable disorder and ranks among the most prevalent drug-resistant adult epilepsies. While initial work focused mainly on the mesiotemporal lobe, histopathological and neuroimaging studies increasingly detail morphological, structural, and functional compromise beyond the primary focus. Here, we show how the brain?s connectome architecture shapes, to some extent, grey matter atrophy in temporal lobe epilepsy. To demonstrate clinical relevance of connectomics data, we also investigate whether connectivity measures can be used to predict post-surgical seizure outcome.

You most probably remember that on March 25th, our colleague Sylvain Baillet had a wonderful idea to create the ?BIC Covid Social Club? and invited us all to a Zoom meeting the next day to, in part : - ?casually chat and share about our experience with social distancing. - look together into the next few weeks and turn the time to our advantage.? Thanks to initiatives from a few members (Nathan, Bratislav, Boris and Alain), I am delighted that the BIC, in collaboration with the Cognitive Neuroscience group, have already begun to organize a series of talks for our scientific community, including friends from outside McGill, Montreal and the Province of Quebec. Yet the ?BIC Covid Social Club? could be much more than a series of scientific talks. It could actually meet the objectives mentioned above. Because Sylvain?s responsibilities as an Associate Dean for Research in the Faculty of Medicine, have increased tremendously due to the current situation, Sylvain and I decided that I would follow up on his idea, and thus would like to invite you to the next BIC Covid Social Club event (link: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/564106868) this coming Thursday, April 16th, at 5:00. I will be waiting for you with a beer (or a glass of wine) and hope that you will join me. In the meantime, please keep being safe and healthy.

The School of Computer Science is considering offering this summer a graduate version of the our popular undergraduate course "COMP 204: Introduction to programming for Life Sciences? (https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~blanchem/204/). The idea is to allow graduate students who have no prior programming experience and are currently locked out of their lab due to COVID to learn programming skills that would be useful for them in their research. The graduate course would introduce Python programming (arguably the most versatile programming language) and share its lectures with COMP 204, but would have additional material and/or assignments. It would be taught online, during either the May or June Summer terms. At this stage, I am writing to probe your potential interest for such a course. If you are potentially interested, please fill out ASAP this very short survey: https://forms.gle/oqywy2VQuqoQ3VDcA Based on the number of positive responses, we will decide to offer the course or not.

Because they confer risk for overlapping conditions, we hypothesized that they may converge on shared connectivity patterns. We performed connectome-wide analyses using resting-state fMRI data from 502 carriers of CNVs associated to different degrees with neuropsychiatric conditions, 756 individuals with idiopathic ASD, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and 5,377 controls. We showed that the effect size of CNVs on connectivity was correlated with the known level of clinical risk conferred by mutations. We identified similarities between connectivity profiles of high-risk mutations and the connectivity architecture of individuals with schizophrenia and autism. Similarities were driven by the thalamus, and the posterior cingulate cortex, previously identified as major hubs altered across psychiatric conditions. Because these results raised questions about shared mechanisms across CNVs, we then posited that haploinsufficiency may reorganize connectivity along general dimensions irrespective of where deletions occur in the genome. Using a continuous score to quantify the severity of deletions (pLI), we identified a connectivity profile that appears to be present in deletions irrespective of genomic location. This profile was correlated with lower general intelligence and higher autism severity scores in 3 unselected and disease cohorts. Such general brain signatures open new avenues to understand polygenicity in psychiatric conditions and the pleiotropic effect of CNVs on cognition and risk for mental illnesses. > > The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series > Advancing the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918?2014), Former Director of the Neuro (1972?1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms.

Direct structural connections account for only part of the functional organization. One hypothesis is that neuromodulatory input from deep brain nuclei plays a coordinating role. I will present evidence from our lab and others that supports this hypothesis and suggests further experimental avenues > > The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series > Advancing the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918?2014), Former Director of the Neuro (1972?1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging. > > Speakers will include scientists from across The Neuro, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders. > If you, or someone you know, would be interested in presenting please contact us to secure a spot on the schedule. > > Looking forward to reconnecting! > > Nathan Spreng > Boris Bernhardt > Bratislav Misic > > To register: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/feindel-virtual-brain-mind-seminar-at-the-neuro-presents-shella-keilholz-tickets-104037797854 > Contact : Sasha Kelly, Events Coordinator, neuroevents.mni at mcgill.ca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
