DESCRIPTION:Alex Wiesman presents: Cross-spectral neural pathology in patie
 nts with neurodegenerative disorders.\n\nRegistration available here.\n\nS
 peaker: Alex Wiesman\, PhD\n\nPostdoctoral fellow\, The Neuro\, Canada\n\n
 Abstract: In patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders\, change
 s in spectro-spatial patterns of neural activity predict key cognitive and
  clinical outcomes. While such approaches hold promise as biomarkers and f
 or guiding frequency-targeted neuromodulation therapies\, current analyses
  typically focus on canonical frequency bands in isolation\, and neglect p
 otentially meaningful cross-spectral effects. Using magnetoencephalography
  in patients with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease\, we have de
 veloped new cross-spectral metrics of functional neural pathology that pre
 dict hallmarks of each disease. These metrics outperform simpler estimates
  of spectral power\, and can enhance our identification and interpretation
  of functional neuronal pathology in neurodegenerative disorders and beyon
 d.\n\nBio: Alex completed his undergraduate education at the University of
  Nebraska - Omaha\, where he conducted photoreceptor electrophysiology res
 earch with Wallace Thoreson. He then obtained his PhD under the supervisio
 n of Tony Wilson at the University of Nebraska Medical Center\, where he l
 ed an NIH-funded multimodal imaging study of neural oscillatory changes in
  patients with Alzheimer's disease. Alex is now a postdoctoral scholar in 
 Sylvain Baillet's lab at the Montreal Neurological Institute\, where he is
  extending his previous work on cross-spectral markers of functional neura
 l pathology into patients with Parkinson's disease.\n\n\nThe Feindel Virtu
 al Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision of Dr. Will
 iam Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984)\, to co
 nstantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight
  the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, cognitive neuros
 cience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientists from across
  The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from arou
 nd the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scient
 ists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the
  mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders.\n
