Identification and analysis of cortical gradients provides a framework to study brain organisation across species, to examine changes in brain development and aging, and to more generally study the interrelation between brain structure, function and cognition. In this pre-OHBM workshop, we will bring together outstanding junior and senior scientists to discuss the challenges and opportunities afforded by this emerging perspective. The workshop will take place from 8.30 - 16.00 on the 18th of June, 2022 in Cambridge, UK. For further information and a full program, please visit the website. Talks will also be livestreamed. Keep up to date on virtual details via the website or twitter. Registration is now open. https://onlinesales.admin.cam.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/department-of-psychiatry/gradient-workshop/gradient-workshop Call for Abstracts We're welcoming abstract submissions for flash talks and poster presentations. The top abstracts will be selected for flash talks (5mins) and all relevant abstracts will be accepted as poster presentations. Deadline for submissions is May 1st.

Brain imaging has been at the forefront of this movement, shifting the focus from one of identifying epileptic lesions to one defining epileptogenic networks. In parallel, the study of cognitive impairments in epilepsy has shifted from the study of isolated cognitive impairments within epilepsy syndromes (e.g., memory impairments in temporal lobe epilepsy; TLE) to one that emphasizes cognitive and psychiatric profiles within and across epilepsy syndromes?or cognitive phenotyping. In this talk, Dr. McDonald will describe a 15- year NIH-funded program of research using advanced, quantitative structural, functional, and diffusion imaging to characterize the neural substrates underlying cognitive co-morbidities in patients with epilepsy. Her talk will highlight network abnormalities associated with cognitive phenotypes in TLE and describe how these patterns may be useful for identifying patients at risk for progressive cognitive decline. She will also describe network features that predict individualized risk for cognitive decline following epilepsy surgery, as well as possible mechanisms of cognitive reserve. Finally, Dr. McDonald will review the need to consider how patient-specific risk and resilience factors, including bilingualism, can influence brain and neuropsychological profiles and could modify risk for post-operative cognitive decline. Future efforts discussed will include the need to harmonize neuropsychological approaches to cognitive phenotyping for deployment in large-scale, international studies. Such global efforts are essential to determine the reproducibility and generalizability of the current findings, accelerate scientific discoveries, and advance personalized medicine in epilepsy. The Centre of Excellence in Epilepsy at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) is proud to announce the new Epilepsy Lecture Series. The series will include eight lectures per year covering hot topics in basic and clinical epilepsy research. Topics will be presented by distinguished leaders and rising stars in the field, with the goal of bridging basic and clinical perspectives. We are most pleased to welcome Dr. Carrie McDonald s our speaker for April. We look forward to seeing you!

These methods typically generate maps that represent observations and variables as points or vectors in small dimensional spaces: a format that standard meta-analytic procedure cannot easily handle. Here, in order to meta-analyze a set of multivariate studies using the same variables (and/or same observations) we propose to use a multi-table 3-way extension of metric multidimensional scaling (called diSTATIS or covSTATIS) that can integrate the factorial information produced by a set of studies. covSTATIS produces two set of maps: The first set reveals the similarity between the studies and the second set optimally analyzes the common and specific information of the variables in the studies. This approach is illustrated with a meta-analysis of a set of studies using the Survey of Autobiographical Memory (SAM)?a questionnaire that assesses self-reported remote mnemonic capacities comprising twenty-six variables organized in four subscales. *---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* *PhD Program in Quantitative Life Sciences, McGill University* www.mcgill.ca/QLS ; Twitter: @QLSMcGill ; Facebook: QLS.mcgill ; LinkedIn: Celia Greenwood, PhD: Graduate Program Director; Professor, McGill University *director.qls at mcgill.ca *; Alex DeGuise: Graduate Program Coordinator coordinator.qls at mcgill.ca 514 398 4826 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
