Subject: Invitation for 2017-2018 MNN Local Neuroscience talks
Dear Manitoban Neuroscientists: Calling for speakers
For the last 7 years, we have held monthly joint neuroscience talks with our clinician scientists. These lectures are to share our findings at the laboratory bench with our colleagues that spend their time at the patients’ bedside. This has been a real opportunity for us to shape our research in a more translational setting.
For those who are new to our network, these are monthly talks that are presented on the last Friday of each month at the neuroscience clinical rounds.
This year we have the following dates still available and I am inviting you to step up and pick a date to present your work. Please send me an email (with your preferred date(s):
27-Oct-17
24-Nov-17
23-Feb-18

Subject: Research Accelerator - Lab Protocol/Sweat Analysis
The Dementia Manitoba Research Accelerator
<http://DementiaManitoba.researchaccelerator.org> is a unique platform that
allows researchers to easily collaborate and share reagents, antibodies,
cell lines and more.
Well over 1,500 researchers from Yale, UPenn, WashingtonU, NCATS/NIH, Johns
Hopkins, UCL, Cambridge and more - across a wide range of disciplines - have
now joined the Research Accelerator.
Here's one example of a listing currently on the DementiaManitoba Research
Accelerator:

Department of Physiology & Pathophysiology
Division of Neuroscience and Spinal Cord Injury Visiting Scientist Lecture
Friday, September 15th, 2017| Noon-1:00 pm
Physiology Seminar Room 431, Basic Medical Sciences Building
Dr. Jeremy Chopek, PhD
Dalhousie University
Department of Medical Neuroscience
Halifax, Nova Scotia
TOPIC: Dissecting Chx10 brainstem and V3 spinal microcircuits involved in
movement initiation and production, one cell at a time.
All are welcome to attend
Research Profile: Dr. Jeremy Chopek received his MSc (2009) in Kinesiology
and PhD (2014) in the Department of Physiology & Pathophysiology, University
of Manitoba under the supervision of Dr. Phillip Gardiner, in the Spinal
Cord Research Centre. His work examined how motor circuits were affected
following spinal cord injury and exercise by examining alterations in
motoneuron biophysical properties, stretch reflexes, gene expression and
sensitivity to pharmacological agents. Currently, he is a post-doctoral
fellow at Dalhousie University (2014-), Department of Medical Neuroscience
working with both Dr. Zhang and Dr. Brownstone at University College London.
His work has began to characterize and understand microcircuit formation in
both the medulla reticular formation, a centre vital for the initiation of
movement and the lumbar spinal cord, the area in which movement is produced.
To achieve this, he uses a combination of transgenic mouse lines,
optogenetic or photo-manipulation of single cell or whole cell populations,
in-vitro electrophysiology, viral tracers and 2P and confocal microscopy. To
date, he has subdivided the chx10 neuronal population in the brainstem into
two distinct cell populations based on their morphology, biophysical
properties, connectivity and projection patterns. In addition, he has also
found a novel connectivity pattern of the spinal V3 interneuron population,
which in addition to forming commissural connections also synapse locally
with ipsilateral motoneurons.

visit Manitoba to interact with scientists and trainees at some point
between April 1, 2018 and March 31, 2019. You may learn more about Dr.
Amaral here:
http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/mindinstitute/ourteam/faculty/amaral.html
We thank all applicants and the members of the Neurosciences Awards
Committee for the time required to carefully consider all applications.
This is a biannual award. The next call for applications will be May 1,
