DESCRIPTION:Dr. Raul Cruces presents\, 'Multiscale cognitive science and op
 en science in epilepsy'. \n\nRegistration available here.\n\nSpeaker: Raul
  Rodríguez Cruces\, MD\, PhD\n\n MICA laboratory\, McConnell Brain Imaging
  Center\, Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital\, 91µ¼º½ÊÓƵ
 \n\nAbstract: Cognitive neuroscience has increasingly become an integrativ
 e and multiscale research program\, focusing on the availability of divers
 e sources of data to describe the brain organization and the transitions b
 etween health and disease. Multimodal imaging has provided a novel framewo
 rk to assess brain structure\, connectivity and function in vivo. However 
 with multiple databases and modalities\, new paradigms to optimize process
 ing and quality control should be explored. To this end\, we have develope
 d a pipeline that integrates processing modules for structural\, microstru
 cture-sensitive\, diffusion-weighted\, and resting-state functional MRI to
  automatically generate connectome models of neural organization across di
 fferent spatial scales. Furthermore\, we assess the reproducibility across
  datasets\, and the sensibility of connectome derived metric within and be
 tween databases in epilepsy and healthy subjects\, to finally unravel the 
 interactions between brain structure and function with cognitive performan
 ce.\n\nBio: Raul obtained his MD with Laurate distinction in Mexico\, and 
 graduated with honors from the PhD program in Biomedical science at the Na
 tional Autonomous University of Mexico where he worked under the supervisi
 on of Prof. Luis Concha in the field of epilepsy and cognition. He is curr
 ently a postdoctoral researcher at the MICA Lab of the BIC\, 91µ¼º½ÊÓƵ Univer
 sity. His current work focuses on understanding the complex relationships 
 between cognition and brain function and structure. His current research i
 nvolves integrative multiscale imaging methods and connectome analysis to 
 grasp the dynamics between health and disease. Over the last years he has 
 also worked on open science initiatives\, such as micapipe (http://micapip
 e.readthedocs.io)\, a multimodal MRI processing pipeline\, and diverse dat
 asets to foster open and reproducible brain research.\n\n\nThe Feindel Vir
 tual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision of Dr. Wi
 lliam Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984)\, to 
 constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlig
 ht the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, cognitive neur
 oscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientists from acro
 ss The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from ar
 ound the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scie
 ntists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on t
 he mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders.
