Dr. Sylvain Williams<http://www.douglas.qc.ca/researcher/sylvain-williams?locale=en>
(Douglas Institute)

Dr. Williams is interested in how large population of neurons interact synaptically to produce brain rhythmic activities that are critical for learning and memory. In addition, understanding the mechanisms of how neurons of the hippocampus behave as a population will give powerful insights into what’s wrong with the neural circuitry in Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia.

Dr. Williams and his team are pursuing several complementary lines of study aimed towards discovering the neural circuits underlying learning and memory. For example, they have developed a unique approach using a complete hippocampus formation preparation in vitro in combination with electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry and molecular biology, to reveal which neurons can generate brain oscillations.  Moreover, they have also developed optogenetics, which offers the unique capability to manipulate specific groups of neurons with light to better understand their role in neural circuits and brain rhythms. They also developed a special interest in determining the role of identified neurons in freely behaving animal during learning and memory.

Prof Williams will be the keynote speaker of the 2nd MEG at McGill Training Week<https://www.mcgill.ca/bic/training-events/meg-training-program>.  A few seats are still available to attend a full day of courses and practical reports from MEG users (language, vision, memory, audition, multimodal integration, motor processes, integration with TMS, etc.) on Monday November 16. Prof Williams' lecture is part of the BIC Lecture Series and does not require registration, but registration is mandatory to attend the other MEG at McGill lectures.
