Important information regarding the Manitoba Neuroscience Network Seminar Feb 25

by Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience

As you are all aware, one objective of the Manitoba Neuroscience Network is to promote interaction among our neuroscientists. Part of this effort is holding the seminars at different neuroscience campuses from time to time. That said, the February 25 seminar is at ST. BONIFACE HOSPITAL RESEARCH CENTRE in the Cohen Auditorium. We would like to request that as many people as possible make an extra effort to come personally to the Cohen Auditorium for this event. We will even be providing donuts and coffee to encourage you! I do realize that there will be people (those attending rounds from 8-9) who cannot make it over in time. For those people the seminar will be videolinked to THEATRE B. I hope to see as many of you at St. Boniface as possible. The seminar information is as follows: Manitoba Neuroscience Network Seminar - Dr. Hassan Marzban Date: Friday, February 25, 2011 Time: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Location: Samuel Cohen Auditorium, St. Boniface Campus** Dr. Hassan Marzban Assistant Professor, Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science, Faculty of Medicine University of Manitoba TOPIC: The cerebellum: Pattern formation and early cerebellar development. **video-linked to Theatre B, Bannatyne Campus My research interests are to understand how genes and molecules control the neurogenesis, axonogenesis and pattern formation during cerebellar development. My immediate goals are to exploit the power of mouse genetic models to determine the cellular and molecular mechanism underlying the cellular and axonal organization in the early stages of the developing cerebellum. I also study pattern Purkinje cells degeneration in mouse mutant models. I utilize variety of cellular and molecular techniques, in vivo and in vitro, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to explore the pathologies underlying clinical significances of cerebellar pattern formation. I received my B.Sc. in Physiotherapy, Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, Iran University of Medical Sciences, followed by M.Sc. in Anatomy, Department of Anatomy, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. I received my Ph.D degree in Anatomy from Department of Anatomy, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. I was recruited as an assistant professor at Medical School, Tehran University of Medical Sciences. I joined to Dr. R. Hawkes laboratory as visiting scientist and subsequently I recruited as an assistant professor (research) at the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Calgary. I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science, Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba. /sent on behalf of Chris Anderson, PhD President - Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience Associate Professor, University of Manitoba --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris M.

A Bird's Eye View of Spatial Cognition Date: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 Time: 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Location: McNally Robinson Grant Park - 1120 Grant Avenue DR. DEBBIE KELLY CANADA RESEARCH CHAIR IN COMPARATIVE COGNITION; ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, FACULTY OF ARTS The study of animal cognition allows us to understand how different species live in the world using sensory, developmental or cognitive processes that differ from our own. This approach not only widens our understanding of animals and their abilities, but also allows us to question what it means to be human.
