DMCBH Open Science Initiative Town Hall

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

Developing infrastructure and initiatives that promote open science and data sharing is an important part of advancing research. In line with this, Dr. Paul Pavlidis has secured a grant from the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute to gauge interest in and develop principles that would eventually see the DMCBH declared an Open Science Institute. This would […]

Spontaneous activity, memory replay, and the default mode network

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

Spontaneous activity accounts for most of what the brain does and is likely to be key for information processing in the brain, but its function is still quite mysterious. Two key spontaneous activity processes are the Default Mode Network (DMN), a set of areas that are most markedly connected and active during behavioural idleness, and […]

Dr. Cheryl Wellington: Fluid biomarkers in neurology: Clinical and translational studies

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

Diseases of the brain are among the most challenging disorders to diagnose and treat. Unlike cancer, where human tissue biopsy specimens are routinely collected, brain disorders lack routine access to specimens that are essential to make progress in understanding pathophysiology and developing effective treatments. Currently, most brain diseases are studied in living patients using neuroimaging […]

Dr. Jorn Diedrichsen: Exploring the role of the human cerebellum across functional domains

The cerebellum has evolved to support basic sensory-motor functions. In the human brain, the cerebellar circuitry has dramatically expanded and contributes to virtually every cognitive function, including working memory, language, and social cognition. Given its uniform cytoarchitecture, it has long been hypothesized that the cerebellar circuit performs a common computation across all these functional domains. […]
