Longitudinal Image Analysis to Meet Clinical Needs Friday, March 21, 2025 4 p.m. EST Jeanne Timmins Amphitheater, The Neuro Monitoring individual disease progression from medical images requires advanced analysis of longitudinal imaging data. This talk will explore key aspects of processing temporal image series, including harmonization, curation, and modeling, with a focus on statistical and learning-based approaches. We will discuss the extension of longitudinal analysis methods to anatomical structures and diffusion MRI, incorporating subject-specific covariates for improved interpretability. Applications to clinical studies?ranging from early brain development to neurodegeneration and glaucoma progression?will highlight the potential of these techniques in improving disease monitoring and prediction. Guido Gerig is an Institute Professor at NYU Tandon, with joint appointments in Biomedical Engineering and NYU Langone. His research focuses on medical image analysis, including segmentation, registration, and shape analysis, applied to neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. A Fellow of AIMBE and IEEE, he has contributed to studies on autism, Down's syndrome, and Huntington?s disease. In 2023, he received the MICCAI Society?s Enduring Impact Award. please click here for more information and registration. -Louis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Communications Centre, The Neuro [cid:image004.png at 01DB9CE2.ED24B770] Abstract: To this day, critical procedures in neurosurgery and neuromodulation for patients with devastating diseases are guided by knowledge on how the brain is wired that derives largely from animal studies. Such studies rely on the precision of techniques, like tracer injections, that are not feasible in human subjects. Inter-species homologies, particularly between non-human primates and humans, are then used to extrapolate information from the former to the latter. This approach has afforded us an understanding of broad organizational principles in the wiring of the human brain, but crucial details are missing. Recent advances in ex vivo tissue processing and microscopy show great promise for imaging the wiring of the human brain down to the scale of single axonal projections. Much work is needed, however, to turn these breakthroughs into tools in the hands of anatomists. Doing so will allow us to map precisely, for the first time, clinically relevant brain circuits and to design better therapeutic interventions. It will also provide the ground truth that we need to harness recent advances in artificial intelligence and improve noninvasive imaging of the wiring of the brain with diffusion MRI. In this talk, Anastasia will present the center for Large-scale Imaging of Neural Circuits (LINC), a multi-institutional consortium funded by the NIH BRAIN Initiative to lay the technological groundwork for imaging the wiring of the human brain across scales, from the large highways to the small fascicles and down to the single axon level. Anastasia will discuss the image acquisition and analysis advances that will be needed to make this previously unattainable goal a reality.

CDSI Research Software Development Networking Symposium - April 10 References: Message-ID: <6C7CDB0C-3C41-4681-B468-41CC53788EB8@mcgill.ca> Dear all, I would like to bring to your attention the below event on April 10 to bring together the broader McGill Research Software Development community. Please share and distribute within your groups this opportunity to come connect with your research software development colleagues, and to hear the keynote presentation from Tristan Glatard (Scientific Director, Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics) who many of us know well. The event is also accepting proposals for lightning talks on topics of interest to the broader research software development community on campus. I hope to see many of you there. Best regards, Bryan. - On behalf of the CDSI team, Stephan O?Brien (TSI) and myself as event organizers Bryan L.

CDSI Research Software Development Networking Symposium Date: March 25, 2025 at 4:38:46?PM EDT Cc: Bryan Caron , "Stephan O'Brien, Dr" , Eric Kolaczyk Dear Colleagues, You are cordially invited to the Research Software Development Networking Symposium on Thursday, April 10th, 2025. Organized by the Computational & Data Systems Initiative (CDSI), this event is intended as a gathering of McGill?s professional research software development community, and related RSD/RSE-interested groups, to provide a sense of cross-campus community and to define mechanisms for continuing to develop and support that community going forward. Planned for 3-hours in length, the event will include a keynote by Dr. Tristan Glatard, Scientific Director of the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics, followed by a mix of lightning talks for group representatives to present the who/what/where/why/how of what they do, and structured roundtable discussions. Food and drinks will be provided. Please note that this event is primarily intended for staff in research software development roles on campus. We hope to accommodate students and Postdoc researchers at future events. Registration: to register for the event and for more information, please follow this link: https://mcgill-cdsi.libcal.com/event/3892687 Interested in presenting a lightning talk? Then please reply to this email with your full name a brief overview of what you would like to present. Please include any websites that would be relevant to the presentation.
