TOPIC: Neuroanatomy, structural composition and regulation of electrical synapses in the mammalian central nervous system.
Dr. James I. Nagy's Summary of Research:
Identification of gap junction proteins, connexins, expressed by astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons in the central nervous system.
Analysis of the regulation of glial gap junctional communication and the contribution of glial gap junctions to neural injury and to neuroprotection in animal models of stroke.
Elucidation of the role of neuronal gap junctions in electrical synaptic transmission and inter-neuronal communication in the adult central nervous system in normal and disease conditions.
Studies on the developmental regulation of neuronal connexins and the contribution of inter-neuronal gap junctions to neuronal development in mammalian CNS.

My name is Brea Chouinard and I am currently a PhD student at the University of Alberta (U of A). I am interested in neuroplasticity and the implications for speech and language therapies. Specifically, for my doctoral research I am going to be investigating a computer program developed around the principles of neuroplasticity and its effects on the language of typically aging adults and people with aphasia. A large part of this project entails functional and structural imaging.
I will be collaborating with a speech and language therapist in Winnipeg and ideally, we would like all participants to undergo the same structural and neuroimaging assessment protocols. As such, I would like to know how to go about liaising with Magnetic Resonance Imaging at St. Boniface Hospital.
My supervisor re: neuroimaging here at the U of A is Dr. Jacqueline Cummine (PhD Cognitive Neuroscience). We would like to begin the process of affiliating with your institution so that we can use your 1.5 Tesla research MRI for our data gathering.
Would you please let me know of how to begin these procedures? If I need to be redirected or if there is someone more appropriate to contact with this request, that information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time.

The Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience <http://sfn-manitoba.ca/> is pleased to introduce the new Manitoba Neuroscience Network Seminar Series.
Eight seminars are planned. They will be held the last Friday of each month, October thru May, during the second hour of Clinical Neuroscience Rounds.
The Manitoba Neuroscience Network represents neuroscientists from several campuses, seminars will therefore be distributed among the Bannatyne, St. Boniface and Fort Garry campuses, although most will be at Bannatyne. The spirit of our effort is to try to bring people together once a month. Therefore, we encourage you to travel to the site of each seminar. However, seminars at St. Boniface and Fort Garry will be video-linked to Bannatyne for those who cannot travel.
Please find attached the seminar schedule for 2010/2011. We will circulate separate notices for each event as we approach each one.
The first speaker is Dr. Jim Nagy, October 29, 2010 at 9am in room PX236/238 Psych Health Bldg., Bannatyne Campus. Please see the second attachment and post in your area to advertise.
Thanks for your support.
