The majority of fibers that exit cerebellar cortex synapse in dentate nuclei (DN) before reaching extracerebellar structures such as cerebral cortex, but the functional neuroanatomy of human DN remains largely unmapped. I will address three main questions in this presentation: 1) Why is mapping the intrinsic functional architecture of the DN, as elucidated by resting state networks, clinically relevant? 2) How can recent technological advances in neuroimaging research (e.g., big magnets, multichannel array coils and simultaneous multislice-imaging) potentiate the pace of discovery by mapping previously underexplored regions of the cerebellum? 3) What are the future directions, which can unmask new predictions for basic human functional neuroanatomy and eventually help us build better tools (e.g., non-invasive cerebellar stimulation) to serve our patients better? In addition to reviewing the foundational aspects of the neuropsychiatry of the cerebellum, I will present results from our recent work investigating cerebellar function and dysfunction in autism spectrum disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders and psychosis. The Feindel Seminar Series at The Neuro 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 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.

Communications Center You must register here to attend in person Abstract: Sleep paralysis is a normal feature of REM sleep. However, some people lose this muscle atonia and start acting out their dreams, a parasomnia called REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). RBD is recognized as a strong marker of an incipient synucleinopathy, with the vast majority of patients developing dementia with Lewy bodies or Parkinson?s disease. In this talk, I will highlight my research work in the field of brain imaging and computational neuroscience in isolated RBD. Specifically, this talk will dive into the prodromal brain changes associated with isolated RBD and focus on how observations of brain atrophy can be used to predict disease progression and uncover some of the mechanistic bases of neurodegeneration in synucleinopathies The Feindel Seminar Series at The Neuro Advances the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918?2014), Former Director of the Neuro (1972?1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms.

Communications Centre You must register here to attend in person Abstract: High frequency and continuous electrical stimulation of deep brain structures (DBS) has been demonstrated as an efficient minimally invasive surgical treatment for motor related diseases and recently for severe neuropsychological diseases. The quality of the clinical improvement, as well as the occurrence of motor, neuropsychological or psychiatric side effects strongly depend on the location of the electrodes. However, even though DBS provides excellent clinical results, there is no consensus in the neurosurgical community about the optimal location of the area to be stimulated as well as corresponding electrical parameters. It is also expected that this is different among patients. The choice of the best target is usually based on a combination of patient specific and generic anatomical, functional and clinical information and knowledge. Patient specific data and information are based on multimodal medical images, clinical and electrophysiological data, whereas most of the generic information and knowledge are implicit. To make it explicit, some groups suggested digital atlases; some atlases were computed from population analysis. In this talk, I will introduce the surgical data science approach we studied, implemented and validated in the context of Deep Brain Stimulation. The main characteristics of our approach include: 1) computation of pre, intra and post-operative patient-specific models from multimodal medical images, clinical and electrophysiological data, 2) analysis of patient population for outlining common patterns and outcome, and 3) computation of generic models from population analysis to help pre, intra and post operative decisions and actions. It aims both at assisting surgical planning, performance and post operative programming and evaluation, as well as better understanding neurological phenomenon for knowledge discovery. Our approach is based on numeric and symbolic surgical data analysis. The clinical motivation is to improve targeting and post operative evaluation for better outcome and reduced side effects.
