Visit of Dr. David Eidelberg

by info＠manitobaneuroscience.ca

/Sent on behalf of Dr. Ji Hyun Ko Dear all, As part of Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series (4pm, Fort Garry campus), I invited Dr. David Eidelberg (March 15th, 2018). He will also give a talk in the Bannatyne campus at noon. David Eidelberg, MD is the Susan and Leonard Feinstein Professor of Neurology and Neuroscience, and has served as Director of the Center for Neurosciences at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research since its founding in 2001. A neurologist and neuroscientist, he is widely regarded for his pioneering work on network dysfunction in brain disease. Under his direction, the Eidelberg group has developed innovative computational approaches using imaging to identify specific network biomarkers for a variety of brain disorders ranging from Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntington's disease to Dystonia, Tourette's syndrome and obsessive compulsive disorder. Disease-related networks are being assayed in individual patients to distinguish between clinically similar "look-a-like" conditions, monitor disease progression, and evaluate new treatments for these disorders. Dr. Eidelberg received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. He completed his residency in neurology there, followed by postdoctoral training in brain imaging in London and New York. Dr. Eidelberg has authored over 250 peer-reviewed original articles, 100 reviews and editorials, and an edited volume (Imaging in Parkinson's Disease, Oxford University Press, 2011). He currently serves on the editorial boards of several major journals, and is editor-in-chief (with Professor Jean-Marc Leger) of Current Opinion in Neurology. He is a scientific advisor to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Department of Defense, the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and the Collaborative Center for X-linked Dystonia Parkinsonism at Massachusetts General Hospital. Now, I am trying to develop an itinerary for his visit. Please email me (ji.ko(a)umanitoba.ca <mailto:ji.ko@umanitoba.ca> ) if any of you are interested in meeting with him in-person with your available time on March 15th.

Brain Awareness Week 2018

by outreach＠manitobaneuroscience.ca

cid:image001.jpg@01D158FE.B69B8D00 Hello everyone, I am pleased to unveil the MNN's full schedule of events for Brain Awareness Week 2018. Many of these events are for the general public, but please take note of the two special lectures that will be taking place next week. Dr. Karim Fouad from the University of Alberta will be speaking on Thursday, March 15th, and on Wednesday, March 14th, we will be hosting Canada Excellence Research Chair Dr. Pierre Marquet from Universite Laval. Dr. Marquet is a world leader in the fields of psychiatry and neurophotonics, and his work combines clinical studies with innovative imaging technologies to identify biomarkers for autism, depression, and bipolar disorder. I encourage you all to attend both lectures. Dr. Marquet will be available for meetings at the Bannatyne campus on Wednesday, March 14th. If you would like to meet with him, please send an email to Kae Normandeau kae.normandeau(a)umanitoba.ca by Wednesday, March 7th. Please feel free to share this events calendar with your students and lab members, and anyone else who may be interested. I hope you enjoy these events, and thank you for your support of the MNN and our outreach programs. Best wishes, Sari Sari S. Hannila, PhD Director of Outreach, Manitoba Neuroscience Network cid:image004.jpg@01D158FE.B69B8D00

K A R I M F O UA D C A N A D A R E S E A R C H C H A I R S P I N A L C O R D I N J U R Y T O P I C Promoting plasticity and recovery following spinal cord injury Karim Fouad studied Biology in Germany where he also performed his Graduate studies on motor control of invertebrates. During his time as PDF in Edmonton, with Dr. Pearson he switched to locomotor control in vertebrates, which triggered his interest in neuroplasticity. He expanded his research in the area of injury induced neuroplasticity in the groups of Drs. Schwab and Dietz in Zürich, Switzerland, especially in relation to spinal cord injuries. In 2001 he started his group in at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, where he is now a Professor and Canada Research Chair in the Department of Physical Therapy, in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine. Karim Fouads research focuses on repair of the injured spinal cord. This includes combined treatment approaches to regenerate lost connections but also to rewire spared circuitry. He uses rehabilitative training to study, and enhance mechanisms of neuro plasticity, but also as a tool to promote functional recovery when plasticity is pharmacologically enhanced. Over the last years he developed a more compressive view on plasticity exploring a wide range of changes that occur after spinal injuries, ranging from spasticity, to blood flow and mental health. /sent on behalf of Dr. Eftekhar Eftekharpour Coordinator, Seminar & Visiting Speaker Series Manitoba Neuroscience Network E: Eftekhar.Eftekharpour(a)umanitoba.ca Kelly Jorundson Coordinator, Membership & Operations Manitoba Neuroscience Network Email: kjorund(a)sbrc.ca Tel: 204.235.3939 Fax: 204.237.4092 St. Boniface Hospital Albrechtsen Research Centre Room R4046 - 351 Taché Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6 CANADA This email and any attachments may contain confidential, personal and/or privileged information intended for a specific individual and purpose.
