October 22, 2021: Spinal Cord Research Centre Guest Speaker Virtual Lecture, Dr. Ying Zhang

/sent on behalf of Dr. Katinka Stecina SCRC JOURNAL CLUB - GUEST SPEAKER Friday, October 22, 2021 11:30 am - 12:30pm QR Code to zoom meeting Zoom Link: https://umanitoba.zoom.us/j/88900624248?pwd=Nll5aVFVQTVyNmh3Rzg5N2VkYjlDQT09 TITLE: Subpopulations of V3 spinal interneurons that regulate task-dependent locomotor behaviors Ying Zhang, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Medical Neuroscience Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University RESEARCH PROFILE: I have a long-standing interest in spinal interneuron circuits. 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!

Travel Award for students
by Manitoba Neuroscience Network 28 Jul '21

28 Jul '21

2021 Nick Shepel Neuroscience Trainee Travel Award Application deadline: Friday, August 20, 2021 Background: The fund was established by the Division of Neurodegenerative Disorders, St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre, to honor Nick Shepel who was an outstanding researcher, friend and leader. Nick was a true inspiration to his laboratory partners and brought fire, humor, and a desire to always excel. His insistence to always try better has had a permanent effect on his lab mates and peers. Nick led by example and taught that detailed preparation and execution of experiments ensured reliable results. Purpose: The purpose of this fund shall be to recognize a young investigator(s) (specifically in the neuroscience area) by providing an annual award(s) to support travel costs associated with the applicant's attendance at an upcoming national/international conference where the applicant is presenting a poster or oral presentation. This year, there are up to four awards available with a value ranging $800 to $1,000. Eligibility: At the time of application the following conditions are required: * Students must be registered as a full-time graduate student in the College of Medicine at the University of Manitoba. * The area of research being presented at the conference must relate to the field of neuroscience. * A student admitted under the "Provisional Status" may not receive the award during the provisional period. * Amount of award(s) may vary each year. * Students must be giving an "IN-PERSON" poster or oral presentation at an upcoming scientific meeting (national/international). Virtual attendance does not qualify for award. * Students who have received this award previously should not apply. Submission Instructions: A complete application consists of the following information *If your application is not complete, it will not be considered: * Introductory letter describing meeting, location and date * Copy of abstract * Curriculum vitae * Current GPA, transcripts not needed * Proposed budget of travel costs * Submit your completed application materials to: Paul Fernyhough Director - Division of Neurodegenerative Disorders St. Boniface Hospital Research R4046 - 351 Tache Avenue Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6 How to apply for reimbursement: Reimbursement will be done in accordance with St. Boniface Hospital travel policies. Request for reimbursement must be done within 2 weeks following travel otherwise eligibility may be voided.
