Message-ID: <4A945A06-BD5E-4CF1-9F50-8030B0CC2530@mcgill.ca> Dear Friends and Colleagues: I am glad to invite everyone interested to a live demo of UNIWeb a practical tool to manage your academic profile online, keep your CCV current, produce reports, integrate with ORCID, etc. This free, practical workshop will be useful to all research staff and trainees. The first hour will be for individuals, while the second hour will emphasize specific features for managers of research labs and core facilities ? see short program below. UNIWeb has been available to everyone at McGill over the past many years, admittedly with limited adoption so far. We believe the new research integration features with CCV will be attractive and useful to many of us. The platform/core facilities solutions are also susceptible to boost visibility and principled reporting of our Units across the Faculty. Please join us Tues Dec 15, 3-5PM https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/88551527810 using your McGill account credentials to join the meeting. Best wishes, Sylvain. - Sylvain Baillet, PhD Professor, Montreal Neurological Institute Associate Dean (Research), Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences McGill University @sylvain_baillet | new lab website ? The demo that will focus on CV Management/CCV integration will cover: ? Navigating UNIWeb; ? Entering and editing data; ? Importing citation information and publications; ? Importing/exporting their Canadian Common CV; ? Producing reports. The demo that will focus on core facilities will cover: ? How to create profiles for core facilities ? Managing core facility profiles ? Assigning core facilities to labs, departments, etc. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is not clear why some older adults have symptoms suggestive of pathological cognitive aging and others don?t. Decades of research in cognitive aging point to a myriad of factors (biological, environmental -physical, psychosocial, and cultural- etc.) and precipitating events (injury including ischemic infarcts) that paint a picture of the complex processes and pathways associated with the initiation and development of pathological cognitive aging. Recent evidence suggest that these factors and events ubiquitously activate a triad of complex biological pathways that act separately or together to exert numerous biological effects that could culminate in accelerated and progressive cognitive decline. Vascular dysfunction - the breakdown in vessel wall structure and function -, oxidative stress, and inflammation are ubiquitous pathways that are activated systemically in almost all tissues in response to stress, trauma, infection, or injury, and more importantly are independently linked to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer?s disease and other dementias. This talk will highlight emerging PET and MRI tools developed by my group to map the sequential and/or synergistic interactions of these key drivers of pathological cognitive aging in brains of live humans and animal models. And introduce ischemic heart disease post-myocardial infract as a novel disease model for mapping associations of these common drivers of tissue degeneration with known and emerging risk factors for accelerated cognitive decline ? a new approach to understanding the initiation and development of pathological cognitive aging.

Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in Computational Behavioural Neuroscience The Department of Psychology in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Calgary invites applications for a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Canada Research Chair (CRC) Tier II in Computational Behavioural Neuroscience. The successful candidate will be appointed at the rank of Assistant Professor (Tenure-track) in the Department of Psychology. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2021. The Chair will establish and maintain an active and externally funded research program. The Chair will be expected to undertake research that investigates the neural control of behavior in model systems, and use computational techniques as an integral component of their data collection and/or analysis. Candidates with research programs directed toward understanding the mechanisms of experience-dependent plasticity of neural circuits underlying behavior are of particular interest. The Chair?s research program will be aligned with both the University of Calgary?s and the Faculty of Arts? strategic plans. Additionally, the Chair will play an important role in teaching and research supervision of students in Psychology undergraduate and graduate programs. Service to the department, faculty, and University, is also expected, particularly in helping to build a diverse and inclusive community.

This two-day online event is organised in collaboration with McGill University, the Healthy Brains Healthy Lives initiative, Helmholtz Research for Grand Challenges, and Forschungszentrum Juelich. The courses will be dedicated to data access and tools for viewing, manipulation, and analysis of the BigBrain dataset. Lecturers from Germany, Canada and France will be sharing their knowledge with participants. Registration is open to all who are interested in working with the BigBrain dataset, or with brain images of very high resolution (e.g. histology data).

It is not clear why some older adults have symptoms suggestive of pathological cognitive aging and others don?t. Decades of research in cognitive aging point to a myriad of factors (biological, environmental -physical, psychosocial, and cultural- etc.) and precipitating events (injury including ischemic infarcts) that paint a picture of the complex processes and pathways associated with the initiation and development of pathological cognitive aging. Recent evidence suggest that these factors and events ubiquitously activate a triad of complex biological pathways that act separately or together to exert numerous biological effects that could culminate in accelerated and progressive cognitive decline. Vascular dysfunction - the breakdown in vessel wall structure and function -, oxidative stress, and inflammation are ubiquitous pathways that are activated systemically in almost all tissues in response to stress, trauma, infection, or injury, and more importantly are independently linked to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer?s disease and other dementias. This talk will highlight emerging PET and MRI tools developed by my group to map the sequential and/or synergistic interactions of these key drivers of pathological cognitive aging in brains of live humans and animal models. And introduce ischemic heart disease post-myocardial infract as a novel disease model for mapping associations of these common drivers of tissue degeneration with known and emerging risk factors for accelerated cognitive decline ? a new approach to understanding the initiation and development of pathological cognitive aging.

We are therefore implementing the following restrictions on research involving brain scanning of human subjects: December 23 ? January 3 Research involving brain scans of human subjects is now paused for the holidays. January 4 ? January 11 Resumption of research activities involving scans of subjects involved in ongoing clinical trials only as well as preclinical scans. Until further notice, no other brain imaging activities will be allowed as of January 4. These directives will be reassessed after January 11.
