Visiting Scientist Lecture - Dr. Jeremy Chopek - Sept. 15, 2017

11 Sep '17

cid:image001.jpg@01D158FE.B69B8D00 /sent on behalf of Dr. Brent Fedirchuk 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. 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. For more information please contact Dr. Brent Fedirchuk, 204-789-3762 or Sharon McCartney, sharon(a)scrc.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.

cid:image001.jpg@01D158FE.B69B8D00 /sent on behalf of Eftekhar Eftekharpour Eftekhar.Eftekharpour(a)umanitoba.ca 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
