Colloquium series - translating basic neuroscience mechanisms to clinical practice
by Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

The Winnipeg Chapter Society Neuroscience would like to make you aware of the following… COLLOQUIUM The Department of Clinical Health Psychology is pleased to present Dr. Devin Mueller & Dr. Shawn Cahill Assistant Professors, Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Pharmacotherapy for fear/anxiety disorders and addiction: Basic mechanisms to clinical practice Part 1: Enhancing extinction and inhibiting retrieval of fear and drug seeking Part 2: Translation and clinical practice with exposure therapy Friday, January 21, 2011 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Basic Medical Sciences Building – 745 Bannatyne Avenue Theatre B Dr. Mueller studies the neural mechanisms of learning and memory as they pertain to drug use and emotional regulation. He is particularly interested in understanding how to overcome drug seeking and learned fear in order to inform treatment for addiction and fear/anxiety disorders. His work has been recognized internationally, and has been recently highlighted by several news agencies for groundbreaking work on pharmacotherapeutics for treatment of cocaine addiction. He serves as a grant reviewer for the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, and as a reviewer for several journals in the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry. He is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Research Growth Initiative. Dr. Cahill is interested in understanding the nature and treatment of anxiety and other emotional reactions to stress, such as anger reactions. He has a particular interest in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and panic in adults. His research program is focused on identifying therapeutic procedures that alleviate dysfunctional anxiety and other emotional reactions and understanding the psychological and biological mechanism that are responsible for the reduction of these reactions. An abstract of this colloquium can be obtained by emailing Ariane Bruyere at abruyere(a)hsc.mb.ca. All are welcome

Brain Awareness Week & visit of Dr. Jack Antel
by Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience 11 Jan '11

Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience Room R4046 - 351 Tache Ave. Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6 CANADA Tel: 204.235.3946 Fax: 204.237.4092 January 11, 2011 Dear WCSN members and Manitoba neuroscientists: The 2011 International Brain Awareness Week (BAW) will be held from March 14-18. As a Society for Neuroscience Chapter, one of our mandates is to lead activities for BAW centered around creating a "brain aware" public and inspiring educators and students to build the next stronger generation of neuroscientists locally. The WCSN is developing a sustainable plan for BAW that will see several events phased in over the next couple of years. For 2011, BAW activities in Winnipeg will center around a visit from renowned neurologist and neuroscientist, Dr. Jack Antel, from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital. Dr. Antel specializes in the neuroimmunology of Multiple Sclerosis and will give a public lecture at St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre on March 16 and a research seminar at the Bannatyne Campus on March 17. Times will be announced soon. This announcement is meant to make you aware of the event and date. If you have itinerary suggestions/requests for Dr. Antel, please let me know at canderson(a)sbrc.ca as we are planning his time in Winnipeg now. We are also building an army of volunteers for BAW 2012 so we can hold several meaningful outreach events. Some people have indicated an interest but I am still looking for others. BAW and any WCSN outreach activities are only going to be as successful as the volunteer efforts we make as a group so please consider getting involved (email me at canderson(a)sbrc.ca ). Planned activities include but are not necessarily limited to the following: · Visits to schools · Lab tours · Teaching basic neuroscience lab techniques to students at the Winnipeg Inner City Science Lab · Holding a Winnipeg Brain Bee event for students · Holding community "meet the scientist" events to discuss neuroscience topics Thank you.

Manitoba Neuroscience Network Seminar this Friday
by Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Dear all, Please remember to attend the Manitoba Neuroscience Network Seminar this Friday December 17 at 9 am in the Apotex Centre Room 071 (Alumni Theatre). The speaker is Dr. Brent Fedirchuk. Attendance at the first 2 seminars has been about 75. The clinical faculty and trainees will not be with us for this Friday only, however, so let's make sure we make up that deficit and support a great initiative to bring Manitoba neuroscientists together once a month. Thank you! Chris M. Anderson, PhD President, Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience Kelly Jorundson Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience R4046 - 351 Taché Avenue Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6 CANADA Tel: 204.235.3939 7Fax: 204.237.4092 Email: kjorund(a)sbrc.ca <mailto:kjorund@sbrc.ca>

The Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience <http://sfn-manitoba.ca/> is pleased to announce the next Manitoba Neuroscience Network Seminar Series. As mentioned previously, eight seminars are scheduled, held the last Friday of each month, October thru May, during the second hour of Clinical Neuroscience Rounds.

However, seminars at St. Boniface and Fort Garry will be video-linked to Bannatyne for those who cannot travel. Please find attached the seminar schedule for 2010/2011. We will circulate separate notices for each event as we approach each one. The second speaker is Dr. Jonathan Marotta - Friday, November 26, 2010 at 9am, Theatre C, Bannatyne Campus <http://myuminfo.umanitoba.ca/index.asp?sec=900&too=200&dat=11/26/2010&sta=0…> .
