Faculty recruitment
by info＠manitobaneuroscience.ca 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Dear MNN Community, The Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics is now recruiting a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor, with a research and teaching focus in the neurosciences. While the job ad will be posted very widely, experience shows that often, successful recruitment depends on how well our own local community actively engages contacts to spread word about the opportunity. Therefore, I ask you to distribute the ad and encourage as many qualified candidates to apply as possible (https://viprecprod.ad.umanitoba.ca/default.aspx). The ad is also attached for you to send around, as appropriate. Thanks for your help!

Memorial Service announcement, Dr. Larry Jordan, December 18, 2021 at 3pm
by Manitoba Neuroscience Network 14 Dec '21

14 Dec '21

/sent on behalf of The Spinal Cord Research Centre Virtual Memorial for Dr. Larry Michael Jordan Saturday, December 18 at 3pm CST Dr. Larry M. Jordan March 18, 1944 - December 5, 2021 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing on December 5, 2021 of our long-time colleague and friend Dr. Larry M. Jordan (PhD, 1971 Texas, USA). Larry had a long and illustrious career in the Department of Physiology & Pathophysiology since 1972. He became a full-Professor in 1985 and served as the Physiology and Pathophysiology Department Head from 1992-2001. Larry was a pioneer in neurophysiology with an international reputation of accomplishments. He established systems physiology and neuroscience at the University of Manitoba and can be credited with developing a focus on locomotion and spinal cord injury research here in Manitoba, culminating in the creation of the Spinal Cord Research Centre (SCRC) (co-Director 1987-1995 and Director 1996-2003), which has evolved and continues his legacy to this day. We at the SCRC will all miss Larry and his energy, wit, and wisdom. Dr. Jordan's memorial service will be held via a webinar on Saturday, December 18 at 3pm CST. If you wish to attend the Virtual Memorial Gathering (and receive the link) please complete the online form found here: <https://virtualmemorialgatherings.com/memorial-services/larry-jordan/> https://virtualmemorialgatherings.com/memorial-services/larry-jordan/ Please direct questions to: Spinal Cord Research Centre Department of Physiology & Pathophysiology 204-789-3770 <https://virtualmemorialgatherings.com/memorial-services/larry-jordan/> <https://virtualmemorialgatherings.com/memorial-services/larry-jordan/> Larry Michael Jordan - Virtual Memorial Gatherings In Loving Memory of Larry Michael Jordan.

/sent on behalf of Dr. Katinka Stecina SCRC JOURNAL CLUB GUEST SPEAKER Friday, December 10, 2021 12:00 PM 1:00 PM Join Zoom Meeting https://umanitoba.zoom.us/j/66502273027?pwd=bUxrMTJJR1Nrb3JOdlE0ck5YbHdSdz09 TITLE: Challenges in balance control following spinal cord injury Dorothy Barthélemy, PhD, MSc, pht Professeure Agrégée/Associate Professor École de réadaptation, Université de Montréal RESEARCH PROFILE: A major research theme in my laboratory is to understand the mechanisms underlying locomotor recovery in individuals with spinal cord injury, based on their specific lesion. Although the most recognized feature and hallmark of gait is the rhythmic left-right flexion and extension movements, balance control is essential to achieve functional locomotion, but remains poorly understood. In this presentation I will discuss deficits in neural mechanisms that are reflective of poor balance control in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury and novel therapeutic approaches that could normalize these mechanisms. All are welcome to attend!

My lab has been investigating their development, organization and function in locomotor behaviors under different physiological and pathological conditions. We have identified molecularly, physiologically, and functionally distinct subpopulations of spinal interneurons. We are characterizing their properties and connectivity in the sensory-motor circuitry and their function in the locomotor control. We are also exploring the developmental logic and mechanisms underlying the diversification of these spinal interneurons. My talk will focus on one of the excitatory spinal neuronal populations, V3 interneurons. I will demonstrate that subpopulations of V3 neurons play unique roles in task-dependent locomotor activities. I will also elucidate our current understanding of the molecular identity of some V3 subpopulations and their diversification across hierarchically organized temporal and spatial developmental pathways. All are welcome to attend!

Indigenous Initiatives Workshop - Canadian Brain Research Strategy
by Manitoba Neuroscience Network 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Dear Colleagues, The Canadian Brain Research Strategy (CBRS) is a pan-Canadian effort to forge a unified strategy for Canadian brain research over the next decade and beyond. You may see more about this at www.canadianbrain.ca <http://www.canadianbrain.ca> . Equity, diversity and inclusion are of paramount importance to the CBRS mission. You may have helped by completing the EDI survey we sent to MNN members a few months ago. Also part of the EDI strategy is creation of a plan to include Indigenous Initiatives in the CBRS, and to provide networking opportunities for Indigenous researchers. Accordingly, there will be a CBRS Indigenous Initiatives Workshop taking place on June 28th from 1:00-4:00 CT. The purpose of the workshop is to obtain a roundtable of points for consideration for CBRS Indigenous Initiatives and to provide a networking opportunity for Indigenous researchers. The MNN would like to have a strong Manitoba contingent involved in these discussions. Both the Universities of Manitoba and Winnipeg have placed significant strategic focus on Indigenous perspectives and involvement in research. Research for, with, and by Indigenous peoples is an important cross-cutting dimension of scholarship at the University of Manitoba and is an area of great contemporary relevance given the historical and developmental consciousness shared by Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples and communities in Manitoba (UM Strategic Research Plan). All who are interested in learning more about CBRS Indigenous Initiatives and Indigenous research in neuroscience or wish to network with Indigenous researchers are welcome to attend. You may RSVP at: <https://bit.ly/cbrsworkshop> https://bit.ly/cbrsworkshop. Thank you. ****************************************** <http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> <https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>
