/sent on behalf of Dr. Brent Fedirchuk Dear colleague, We are writing to you in our roles on the Canadian Physiological Society Executive. We are working to engage the community of Canadian physiologists, and provide support and opportunities for trainees and early career scientists. We are taking several initiatives to engage new members and plan for future events: 1. We have prepared a survey that we would ask you to forward to members of your department, in order to get a better idea of commonly attended international meetings to target for partnerships. Please use the following link. https://forms.gle/1ZzwwhB7u8pTDGKR8 2. We are offering complimentary 2020 membership in the society for faculty and students of Canadian departments linked to the discipline of Physiology. Please encourage your department members to officially join by using the following link: https://forms.gle/6KLcsSfCvkmGEjFT7 3. We will be hosting a symposium in affiliation with the 2020 CAN/ACN meeting in Montreal, May 30. We have attached a poster with a preliminary list of speakers and will be sending updates regularly. We ask that you please circulate these opportunities to your students and faculties. Sincerely, Graham Collingridge, President Harley Kurata, Vice-President Kelly Jorundson Executive Assistant Manitoba Neuroscience Network Email: <mailto:kjorund@sbrc.ca> 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 ****************************************** <http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> <https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>

02 Dec '19

/sent on behalf of Dr. Ji Hyun Ko from the Department of Human Anatomy & Cell Science | Neuroscience Research Program Graduate Course Announcement (2019-2020) There are two new courses being offered in the winter term 2020 that will be running back-to-back (see below and attachment for details). Both courses may be completed within the same term, or completed in two terms (winter 2020 and winter 2021). Registration is open to all graduate students enrolled in any Faculty/College/Department interested in Neuroscience from the Fort Garry or Bannatyne Campuses, and the St. Boniface Research Centre. Classes will take place in SR4, Kleysen Institute for Advanced Medicine Building/Bannatyne campus, unless otherwise indicated by the Course Director. 1) Human Brain Imaging Methods (IMED 7004) This is a 1.5 credit hour course held on the Bannatyne Campus (Jan. 7, 2020 - Feb. 20, 2020). It will be of particular interest to graduate students whose research is in neuroscience. This course will provide an overview of the in vivo brain imaging methods and how imaging data are analysed (e.g., MRI and PET). Students will have opportunity to perform hands-on practice in computer labs with sample data. The course has 2 components: 1. Lectures that will provide a systematic survey of different brain imaging modalities, and 2. Computer Laboratory sessions in which students will perform computer analysis using real brain imaging data. 2) Advanced Level Human Brain Imaging Methods (ANAT 7012) This is a 1.5 credit hour course held on the Bannatyne Campus (Feb. 25, 2020 - Apr. 14, 2020). This course is intended for those graduate students who intend to broaden their skills in more advanced brain imaging methods that was not covered in the Human Brain Imaging Methods (IMED 7004). Students may take both IMED 7004 and ANAT 7012 back-to-back within the same semester, or wait until the next year(s) when it is offered again. The course has 2 components: 1. Lectures/student presentation: systematic survey of different brain imaging modalities and analytic methods, and 2. Computer Laboratory sessions: students will perform computer analysis using real brain imaging data including machine learning.

cid:image001.jpg@01D158FE.B69B8D00 cid:image003.jpg@01D5994E.D962B040 Hello everyone, I have a very unique outreach opportunity to share with you! The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre has asked if one of our members would be willing to write a short article (350 words) related to mental health and gratitude (this could extend to the practice of mindfulness as well). The article will be included in the program for an upcoming play that will be staged in January. Additional details are provided in the forwarded email below. If you are interested, please contact me ASAP as this is somewhat time-sensitive. As you will see, it includes a nice little perk too! Best wishes, Sari Sari S. Hannila, PhD Director of Outreach, Manitoba Neuroscience Network Associate Professor, Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba cid:image003.jpg@01D5994E.D962B040 cid:image004.jpg@01D158FE.B69B8D00 Begin forwarded message: From: Kathleen Cerrer <kcerrer(a)royalmtc.ca> Date: Nov. 12, 2019 at 10:43 a.m. To: info <info(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca> Subject: Manitoba Neuroscience Network in Royal MTC Program Good morning, I’m writing from the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre. In January, we are presenting a show called “Every Brilliant Thing” which focuses on mental health and the power of gratitude for physical and mental healing. We’d like to include an article in our program about the power of gratitude and the scientific evidence behind it. Might there be someone at the Manitoba Neuroscience Network that could contribute to our program? The piece would be approximately 350 words and the deadline is Thurs, Nov 28. We would be happy to give you a pair of tickets to the show. Show information https://royalmtc.ca/Current-Plays/Every-Brilliant-Thing.aspx Please let me know if you have any questions. Many thanks, Kathleen Kathleen Cerrer, Publicist ROYAL MANITOBA THEATRE CENTRE Box Office 204 942 6537 | 1 877 446 4500 ROYALMTC.CA | WINNIPEGFRINGE.COM
