 Next Seminar:  15 May 2012

This week will be a triple seminar at the special time of 2:30 to 4:00 in the QBI Auditorium, to be followed by beer and pizza.


The three talks from international speakers are;


Jiangyang Zhang: John Hopkins, Baltimore USA

Title: Recent developments in diffusion tensor imaging of the mouse brain

Abstract: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a useful tool to study anatomy and pathology in the mouse brain. The unique tissue contrasts provided by DTI are well-suited for monitoring disease progression, studying brain development, and characterizing anatomical phenotypes. Recent technical developments have vastly improved the speed and resolution of DTI. This presentation will primarily focus on these technical developments and their applications.

 

Zoltan Nagy: UCL, London UK

Title: QA - or why do MRI physicists waste all that valuable scanner time anyway

Abstract: I will explore the less glamorous aspects of MRI research. There will be a select list of ideas and problems that I have worked on, mostly involving diffusion imaging. Afterwards hopefully everybody will be a little happier when they next time see one of us physicists lurking around the scanner.

 

Jason Lerch: SickKids, Toronto Canada

Title: "of taxi driving mice and maze running me: studying brain plasticity with MRI"

Abstract: The anatomy of the brain is not fixed; evidence is building that the environment, learning, and memory can subtly change the brain. Here I will discuss both human and mouse imaging studies of structural brain plasticity and argue the case for a tight linkage between changes in anatomy and changes in function.



If you are going to attend please rsvp to pa@cai.uq.edu.au by Friday 11th May.
