From julien.doyon at mcgill.ca Mon Apr 3 13:48:40 2023 From: julien.doyon at mcgill.ca (Julien Doyon, Dr.) Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2023 17:48:40 +0000 Subject: [BIC-announce] Changes in our booking policy that were implemented due to the pandemic Message-ID: Dear BIC members and Users As we are now 3 years since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, the milieu has now changed and COVID is under controlled. We now are updating our policies to reflect this new reality. 1. The screening questionnaire (attached here) that was implemented mid 2020 due to our fight against the spread of COVID in our facilities will no longer be needed. This form was required to be submitted 24 hrs before your scans to BIC Finance. That will no longer be required. 2. If your participant tests COVID positive (a screening test was performed) please send us proof of the Rapid Response COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test cassette. Please use a permanent marker to indicate on the Cassette the date the test was taken and email it to us ( bic-finance.mni at mcgill.ca). Failure to do that we will be charging for any last minute cancellation as is our policy. 3. The 15-minute cleaning blocks that were implemented in our bookings system due to COVID precautions are now going to be removed. Please note that you will be receiving emails from BIC Finance to shift your spots by 15 minutes or more. This will, of course, create more openings in our schedule. So please keep an eye for them as they will be appearing in the coming weeks. 4. Finally, it is important that you arrive with your participant 15-20 minutes prior to your scheduled scanning session. We will count on and greatly appreciate your collaboration in helping the MRI Unit and Administrative team to implement this new change in the booking schedule. Furthermore, as noted in point 4, it will be important to arrive early for your scanning session, so that you can start on time and you do not encroach on the session reserved by the next researcher.

Communications Centre, The Neuro, 3801, University Street Abstract: In this talk, I will provide an overview of the physiological processes that contribute to the observed BOLD signal (i.e., the generative biophysical model), including their time course properties within the framework of the physiologically-informed dynamic causal modeling (P-DCM). Specifically, the physiological origin of the so-called BOLD signal ?transients? will be discussed, including the initial overshoot, steady-state activation and the post-stimulus undershoot. I argue that incorrect physiological assumptions in the generative model of the BOLD signal can lead to incorrect inferences pertaining to both local neuronal activity and effective connectivity between brain regions. In addition, I introduce the recent laminar BOLD signal model, which extends P-DCM to cortical depths-resolved BOLD signals, allowing for laminar neuronal activity to be determined using high-resolution fMRI data. Finally, I outline a research program to leverage the BigBrain to develop brain-area specific microcircuit models, which can represent the neuronal component of the laminar fMRI signal model. 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.

The Quest for Brain Identification Enrico Amico Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland Host: Bratislav Misic April 11, 2023 4 p.m. EDT De Grandpr? Communications Centre, The Neuro, 3801 University Street Abstract: In the 17th century, physician Marcello Malpighi observed the existence of distinctive patterns of ridges and sweat glands on fingertips. This was a major breakthrough, and originated a long and continuing quest for ways to uniquely identify individuals based on fingerprints, a technique massively used until today. It is only in the past few years that technologies and methodologies have achieved high-quality measures of an individual?s brain to the extent that personality traits and behavior can be characterized. The concept of ?fingerprints of the brain? is very novel and has been boosted thanks to a seminal publication by Finn et al. in 2015. They were among the firsts to show that an individual?s functional brain connectivity profile is both unique and reliable, similarly to a fingerprint, and that it is possible to identify an individual among a large group of subjects solely on the basis of her or his connectivity profile. Yet, the discovery of brain fingerprints opened up a plethora of new questions. In particular, what exactly is the information encoded in brain connectivity patterns that ultimately leads to correctly differentiating someone?s connectome from anybody else?s? In other words, what makes our brains unique? In this talk I am going to partially address these open questions while keeping a personal viewpoint on the subject. I will outline the main findings, discuss potential issues, and propose future directions in the quest for identifiability of human brain networks.

I argue that incorrect physiological assumptions in the generative model of the BOLD signal can lead to incorrect inferences pertaining to both local neuronal activity and effective connectivity between brain regions. In addition, I introduce the recent laminar BOLD signal model, which extends P-DCM to cortical depths-resolved BOLD signals, allowing for laminar neuronal activity to be determined using high-resolution fMRI data. Finally, I outline a research program to leverage the BigBrain to develop brain-area specific microcircuit models, which can represent the neuronal component of the laminar fMRI signal model. > > 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, The Neuro, 3801 University Street This named lecture honours the life and legacy of Pierre Gloor (1923-2003) whose work at The Neuro in understanding and treating epilepsy earned him a worldwide reputation. The Pierre Gloor lecture serves as the pinnacle of the recently inaugurated Epilepsy Lecture Series. Abstract: High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in defining the etiology and prognosis of medical and surgical treatment in patients with epilepsies. The results from an MRI visual analysis of signal characteristics of a suspicious lesion, its location, and extent, with or without postprocessing, are fundamental to the surgical approach in patients with focal epilepsies. However, MRI findings are often subtle and may be undetected even with state-of-the-art MRIs, particularly in cortical dysplasias (FCD). In addition, advances in computer science and faster hardware enabling big data analyses transformed the neuroimaging research field, leading to new avenues in clinical research. Research applications, including different functional and structural MRI acquisitions, are leading to new insights into the vast extent of network dysfunction underlying cognitive comorbidities and a better understanding of disease mechanisms through imaging genomics and subclinical quantitative data that could be used as endophenotypes, to name a few of the potential MRI applications.
