This lecture covers an introduction to connectomics, and image processing tools for the study of connectomics.
This lecture covers acquisition techniques, the physics of MRI, diffusion imaging, prediction using fMRI.
This lecture will provide an overview of neuroimaging techniques and their clinical applications.
Optical imaging offers a look inside the working brain. This lecture takes a look at orientation and ocular dominance columns in the visual cortex, and shows how they can be viewed with calcium imaging.
Functional imaging has led to the discovery of a plethora of visual cortical regions. This lecture introduces functional imaging techniques and their teachings about the visual cortex.
Investigating the structure of synapses with electron microscopy.
Introductory presentation on how data science can help with scientific reproducibility.
The "connectome" is a term, coined in the past decade, that has been used to describe more than one phenomenon in neuroscience. This lecture explains the basics of structural connections at the micro-, meso- and macroscopic scales.
Introduction to the types of glial cells, homeostasis (influence of cerebral blood flow and influence on neurons), insulation and protection of axons (myelin sheath; nodes of Ranvier), microglia and reactions of the CNS to injury.
This lecture will highlight our current understanding and recent developments in the field of neurodegenerative disease research, as well as the future of diagnostics and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
How does the brain learn? This lecture discusses the roles of development and adult plasticity in shaping functional connectivity.
The mechanisms behind changes in synaptic function created by learning.
