Portage Webinar / Aujourd'hui! Webinaire Portage - Using the Open Science Framework to Enhance Your Research Projects To: *Bilingual message // Message bilingue* Portage and Global Water Futures are collaborating on a research data management (RDM) webinar series, with the aim to educate researchers and data professionals across Canada on data management best practices and tools that are available to support them. These webinars will help participants navigate the evolving RDM landscape, as funders, publishers, and the research community increasingly require good RDM practices. We invite you to join us for the next webinar in the series: *Using the Open Science Framework to Enhance Your Research Projects* Speaker: Kevin Read (University of Saskatchewan) Date: Tuesday, November 3, 2020 Time: 1pm - 2pm ET Registration Keeping data and research materials organized across all phases of the research process is always a challenging process. To help the research community address these challenges, the Center for Open Science developed the Open Science Framework (OSF), a research tool that supports collaboration, data management, and transparency throughout the research lifecycle. The OSF provides avenues for researchers to design a study; collect, analyze, and store data; manage collaborators; and publish research materials. In this webinar, attendees will learn about the many features of the OSF and develop strategies for using the tool within the context of their own research projects. The discussion will be framed around how to best utilize the OSF while also implementing data management and open science best practices. The webinar will be presented in English and recorded. Engagement during the webinar in both official languages is welcomed. Previous webinar recordings are available on the CARL YouTube Channel . Links to the recordings and slides can also be found on Portage Training Resources . More information about upcoming webinars in the series will be coming soon! To find out more about Portage and Global Water Futures, please visit our websites: https://portagenetwork.ca/ https://gwf.usask.ca/ // Portage et Global Water Futures collaborent sur une s?rie de webinaires au sujet de la gestion de donn?es de recherche dans le but d'informer les chercheurs et les professionnels des donn?es de tout le Canada sur les meilleures pratiques de gestion des donn?es et les outils disponibles pour les soutenir. Ces webinaires aideront les participants ? s'orienter dans le paysage ?volutif de la GDR, car les bailleurs de fonds, les ?diteurs et la communaut? des chercheurs exigent de plus en plus de bonnes pratiques de la GDR. Nous invitons ? vous joindre ? nous pour le prochain webinaire dans la s?rie : *Using the Open Science Framework to Enhance Your Research Projects* Conf?rencier: Kevin Read (University of Saskatchewan) Date : mardi 3 novembre 2020 Heure : 13 h ? 14 h HE Inscription L?organisation des donn?es et des documents de recherche durant toutes les ?tapes du processus de recherche pose toujours des d?fis. Pour aider les chercheurs et leur entourage ? surmonter ces d?fis, le Center for Open Science a cr?? un cadre de science ouverte (Open Science Framework ? OSF) ? un outil de recherche qui favorise la collaboration, la gestion des donn?es et la transparence tout au long du cycle de vie de la recherche. L?OSF offre aux chercheurs des avenues pour la conception d??tude, la collecte, l?analyse et le stockage des donn?es, la gestion des collaborateurs et la publication de documents de recherche. Ce webinaire permettra aux participants de se familiariser avec les nombreuses caract?ristiques de l?OSF et de cr?er des strat?gies pour utiliser de l?outil dans le cadre de leurs projets de recherche. La discussion portera sur l?utilisation optimale de l?OSF tout en mettant en ?uvre des pratiques exemplaires de gestion des donn?es et de science ouverte. Ce webinaire sera enregistr? et pr?sent? en anglais, mais nous invitons les participants ? s?exprimer dans les deux langues officielles.

People with this disorder typically present with varying degrees of impairment in memory and language functioning. In this talk, I will present research examining the functional connectivity of the hippocampus in healthy controls and people with temporal lobe epilepsy. We find that the anterior and posterior hippocampus have distinguishable patterns of functional connectivity and this overall pattern is maintained in temporal lobe epilepsy. However, the epileptogenic hippocampus has reduced connectivity to the rest of the default mode network, and the degree to which this connectivity is impaired relates to clinical measures of memory ability. Finally, we expanded our scope of analysis to look at whole brain functional connections, finding that temporal lobe epilepsy is characterized by reduced intra-network functional connectivity, particularly within the default mode network and somatomotornetwork, with increased internetwork functional connectivity. >> > 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) and Founding Director of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms.

This ability appears to depend on the coordinated interactions between brain regions that are organized into large-scale networks. In my research, I am interested in characterizing how human brain networks are organized, how they contribute to the myriad goal-directed behaviors that are essential to our daily lives, and how these processes break down. In my talk, I will present an overview of my research, highlighting recent projects centered on understanding functional brain network organization and how it changes over different timescales. I will introduce the use of a "precision" high-data approach to measuring brain networks reliably at the individual level and discuss some of the insights from this work. > > 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) and Founding Director of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms.

My work shows that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be even better at detecting damage to the brain than we thought - if we only look at the data in the right way. Prior to significant brain tissue atrophy, several microstructural changes take place as a result of Alzheimer?s pathology. These include deposition of amyloid, tau and iron, as well as altered water homeostasis in tissue and some cell death. T2 relaxation time, a quantitative MRI measure, is sensitive to these changes and may be a useful non-invasive, early marker of tissue integrity which could predict conversion to dementia. I propose that different microstructural changes affect T2 in opposing ways, such that average ?midpoint? measures of T2 are less sensitive than measuring distribution width (heterogeneity). T2 heterogeneity in the brain may present a sensitive early marker of AD pathology. In this talk I will summarize findings from my recently completed PhD studies, in which I explored the clinical utility of T2 heterogeneity in older people with and without cognitive impairment. I will present a model of early changes in T2 in the medial temporal lobe that considers the competing effects of factors that both increase and decrease T2.

The influence of the intermediate variable on the outcome is often explored using structural equation models (SEMs), with model coefficients interpreted as possible effects. While there has been significant research on the topic in recent years, little work has been done on mediation analysis when the intermediate variable (mediator) is a high-dimensional vector. In this work we introduce a novel method for mediation analysis in this setting called the principal directions of mediation (PDMs). We demonstrate the method using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study of thermal pain where we are interested in determining which brain locations mediate the relationship between the application of a thermal stimulus and self-reported pain.

The deposition of these proteinopathies occurs in a predictable topography, and starts at least two decades before the first clinical symptoms are evident. Given the disappointing results in many clinical trials targeting beta-amyloid, these initial neuropathologic changes can provide new clues to improve the very early detection and provide targets for interventions aimed at delaying cognitive decline. Guided by neuropathology findings, my lab aims to develop methods to identify the earliest Alzheimer?s disease related changes and to examine their biomarker potential. The locus coeruleus ? a tiny nucleus in the brainstem ? is recognized as one of the first regions to accumulate tau, starting at age 20. The locus coeruleus is a notorious difficult region to image, due to is small size, its location close to the fourth ventricle and the confounding impact of physiological noise. In this talk, I will discuss briefly discuss findings related to three critical areas that my lab tackles: 1) the development of methods to visualize and measure the locus coeruleus in vivo reliably using 3T and 7T magnetic resonance imaging; 2) the application of these methods to relate locus coeruleus properties to initial anatomic patterns of cortical Alzheimer?s disease pathology using positron emission tomography, and their relationship to cognitive dysfunction within the longitudinal Harvard Aging Brain Study; and 3) the opportunity to modulate locus coeruleus functioning and memory performance in healthy older individuals using transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation. > > 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) and Founding Director of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (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: Eventbrite > Contact : Sasha Kelly > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
