Understanding the aging brain: evidence from behavior, eye-tracking, and neuroimaging

Rosanna Olsen
Senior Scientist, Rotman Research Institute
Assistant professor, Department of Psychology, University of Toronto, Canada

May 18, 2022
4 p.m. EDT
Event Platform Access (registration required<https://webapp.spotme.com/welcome/feindelseminarseries>)
Abstract
Exciting new advances in the neuroimaging and neuropsychological literatures have allowed for a more precise understanding of the organization of brain regions supporting memory. These discoveries have provided a deeper understanding of the particular cognitive changes observed in healthy aging and dementia. For example, high resolution neuroimaging of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) has provided support for differentiation of function along the long-axis of the MTL. My work has also revealed how particular MTL subregions change with age and how they relate to performance on cognitive assessment in healthy older adults. I will demonstrate how work from our lab using novel behavioral and eye-tracking paradigms can reveal novel insights into the aging brain. My research uses these varied approaches, which can allow for the functional characterization of particular MTL subregions, as well as the analysis of broader brain networks that are structurally and functionally coupled with the MTL.

IMPORTANT – REGISTRATION REQUIRED!

The seminars will be hosted on the virtual events platform. Registration<https://webapp.spotme.com/welcome/feindelseminarseries> is required to access the platform.  You only have to register once in order to access the entire series.

Once you register we recommend that you bookmark the series link for easy access.

Please check back regularly for new seminar dates as new speakers will be added to the platform as they are confirmed.

Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series
The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series advances the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014), former Director of The Neuro (1972–1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The seminars will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging.

Speakers will include scientists from 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 email us using the hyperlinks below to secure a spot on the schedule.

Looking forward to connecting!
