Communications Centre, The Neuro, 3801 rue University Abstract: The hippocampus (or archicortex) has a complex folded laminar structure that can be fully appreciated in the multiplanar views afforded by 3D BigBrain and other ultra high-resolution datasets. Here, we look at how analysis of the hippocampus and hippocampal subfields can be performed using the same principles as surface-based analysis of the neocortex and neocortical parcels. That is, at high resolution the various folds or ?digitations' within the hippocampus resemble neocortical gyrifications and by carefully fitting a surface to these folds, we open a new door to cortical mapping within the hippocampus. Results from this strategy are applied to 3D BigBrain, structural MRI, and resting state fMRI and can be summarized by two organizational axes: from anterior-posterior the hippocampus differs in connectivity but remains highly structurally consistent. In perpendicular, "proximal-distal" microstructure structure differs greatly between the classically described hippocampal subfields. The methods employed here are openly available as a fully automated BIDS software application and current work is exploring the use of this tool in epilepsy and other histology microstructural mapping endeavours. 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 Centre, The Neuro, 3801 rue University Abstract: In image-guided surgery (IGS), surgical instruments are tracked and visualized with respect to patient-specific data sets. IGS has driven the field of minimally invasive surgery, which has advantages such as smaller incisions, faster recovery times and better patient outcomes with lower morbidity and mortality rates. With the move to less invasive surgery, however, came the need for novel visualization techniques to overcome the lack of a direct view of the patient anatomy and the surgeons limited field of view. With augmented reality, sound guidance and specific interaction techniques we can create a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of patient-specific anatomical information. Providing surgeons with this information in an intuitive and easy to understand way has the potential to improve surgical workflows, reduce surgical time and increase surgical precision. This talk will introduce some of the research being done in the Applied Perception Lab at Concordia University, with a focus on the development and testing of novel augmented reality visualization, interaction and guidance techniques and their application for specific neurosurgical tasks.

While nosological factors play a role in the underrepresentation of autistic females, factors related to biological sex and typical sexual differentiation have in recent years been increasingly considered, too. Here, I will present findings from my research into sex differences in different aspects of neural organization in autism (both structural and functional imaging modalities) and an overview of different methods to tap into the link between autism and typical sexual differentiation.

Speakers will include distinguished leaders and rising stars, with the goal of bridging basic research and clinical perspectives. Talk Abstract: In epilepsy research, a holy grail has been the identification and understanding of the "epileptogenic zone" - operationally defined as the (minimal) area or region of the brain is indispensible for the generation of epileptic seizures. The identification of the epileptogenic zone is particularly important for surgical treatments of focal epilepsy patients, but I will highlight some recent clinical, experimental and theoretical work showing that it is also fundamentally linked with our understanding of epilepsy and seizures. I will conclude with a proposal for an updated understanding of the epileptogenic zone and ictogenesis.
