Talk abstract
3D tissue clearing, slice-based connectivity atlases, and diffusion MRI are common brain mapping techniques. While there are many resources to analyze and process this data, there is lack of integration across modalities. I will present an automated pipeline that combines histologically cleared volumes with connectivity atlases and MRI, enabling the analysis of histological features across multiple networks, and their correlation with in-vivo imaging. We validated our pipeline in a murine stroke model, demonstrating a strong correspondence between MRI abnormalities and cellular changes, and uncovering acute cellular effects in areas connected to the ischemic core. We also integrated diffusion MRI and CLARITY viral tracing to compare connectivity maps across scales. Finally, I will demonstrate tract-level histological changes of stroke through this multimodal integration. At the end of my talk I will briefly present some of the AI models we are developing to improve this pipeline.

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!
