Talk abstract
Quantitative atlases of neurotransmitter receptor densities in healthy and pathologic human brains are important for characterizing normal and pathologic brain function and behaviour. Autoradiography can be used to visualize receptor density in 2D sections, but is challenging to reconstruct in 3D. In prior work, Karl Zilles and Nicola Palomero-Gallagher had acquired acquired autoradiographs for 20 neurotransmitter binding sites from 3 donor brains. This data set has to date not been fully reconstructed into 3D because of the many unique challanges involved in performing such reconstruction for these data. This presentation describes the creation of a pipeline for producing the first ever set of ultra-high resolution (50μm) 3D atlases using this data. We illustrate its application on 4 different GABAergic neurotransmitter binding sites in the human brain. These 3D receptor atlases will provide a novel and unparalleled set of atlases for the neuroscience research community that will help better elucidate the functional anatomy of the human brain

The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series
Advancing the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014), former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984) and Founding Director of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (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. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in presenting please contact us to secure a spot on the schedule.

Looking forward to reconnecting!
