CBR Seminar Series: Valentina Perosa
CBR Seminar Series: Valentina Perosa, May 13, 2024 Title: Interaction Between Microvascular and AD-related pathology in the Medial Temporal Lobe Abstract: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), which includes cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and arteriolosclerosis, often co-occurs with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. The medial temporal lobe is susceptible to hosting multiple AD pathologies, such as […]
CBR Seminar Series: Stephanie Grasso
CBR Seminar Series: Stephanie Grasso, March 25, 2024 Title: Neurodegenerative Disorders Within the Context of Bilingualism: Characterization and Treatment Abstract: Speech and language impairments are ubiquitous features of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). In speech/language-led dementias such as primary progressive aphasia (PPA), these deficits are the initial, predominant symptoms, in the context of relatively […]
CBR Seminar Series: Vijaya Kolachalama
CBR Seminar Series: Vijaya Kolachalama, February 12, 2024 Title: Mining clinical and digital data for dementia assessment Abstract: This presentation will delve into our laboratory’s recent endeavors in developing an innovative machine learning framework designed to analyze routinely collected multimodal clinical data alongside emerging digital information for dementia assessment. We will provide an overview of […]
CBR Seminar Series: Mark Eldaief
CBR Seminar Series: Mark Eldaief, January 22, 2024 Title: The salience network: function, functional neuroanatomy and target for neuropsychiatric disease Abstract: The salience network is a large-scale cortical system encompassing the rostroventral insula and the rostrodorsal anterior cingulate cortex, among other regions. This network has been implicated in the pathobiology of several neuropsychiatric disorders including […]
CBR Seminar Series: Matthias Stangl
CBR Seminar Series: Matthias Stangl, November 20, 2023 Title: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuromodulation: From the Laboratory into the ‘Real World’ Abstract: A major goal of neuroscience is to understand how the brain supports natural human behavior and cognition, in order to ultimately enable the detection and treatment of malfunctions in underlying neural systems. Traditional human […]
CBR Seminar Series: Abhishek Jaywant
CBR Seminar Series: Abhishek Jaywant, November 13, 2023 Title: Leveraging Neuroimaging to Advance the Development and Refinement of Post-Stroke Cognitive Interventions Abstract: Cognitive impairment after stroke is common, persistent, and disabling. Existing interventions demonstrate mixed evidence for efficacy with modest effect sizes. In this talk, I will describe results from a longitudinal cohort of stroke […]
CBR Seminar Series: Kelly Martin
CBR Seminar Series: Kelly Martin, August 14, 2023 Title: Language system plasticity in healthy development and after perinatal stroke Abstract: In the current talk, I will discuss my dissertation work which examined the cortical organization of language processing to evaluate which features may or may not be essential for a fully intact language system. In […]
CBR Seminar Series: Einat Liebenthal
CBR Seminar Series: Einat Liebenthal, July 17, 2023 Title: Naturalistic approaches to studying verbal and nonverbal communication Abstract: Naturalistic approaches have the potential to uncover the neural mechanisms underlying behavior in real world settings; however, confer the challenge of measuring behaviors of interest in little-controlled experimental conditions. In this talk, I will discuss our efforts […]
CBR Seminar Series: Archana Venkataraman
CBR Seminar Series: Archana Venkataraman, May 8, 2023 Title: Biologically Inspired Deep Learning as a New Window into Brain Dysfunction Abstract: This talk will highlight two ongoing projects that epitomize this strategy. First, I will showcase an end-to-end deep learning framework that fuses neuroimaging, genetic, and phenotypic data, while maintaining interpretability of the extracted biomarkers. […]
CBR Seminar Series: Borna Bonakdarpour
CBR Seminar Series: Borna Bonakdarpour, April 24, 2023 Title: Pathophysiology of Aphasia: The PPA Story Abstract: In this lecture I will discuss the language network and its breakdown in primary progressive aphasia (PPA). Caused by neurodegenerative diseases, pathophysiology of PPA differs from stroke aphasias. Advances in structural and functional brain imaging have enabled us to […]
