Welcome to the Society For Neuroscience - Montreal Chapter Symposium! Join us for a day of fascinating discussions and presentations at the MUHC - McGill University Health Centre Research Institute (Glen Site, Block E). This in-person event will bring together neuroscience enthusiasts from all over Montreal to share knowledge and insights. Don't miss this opportunity to network with fellow professionals and trainees and learn about the latest research in the field. See you there!

Info: Mihaela Iordanova is an Associate Professor at Concordia University, a Canada Research Chair in Behavioural Neuroscience, a 2020 CAN Young Investigator, and a 2016 NARSAD Young Investigator. Her research focuses on delineating the neurobiological mechanisms of learning and memory in fear and reward.

Mihaela began her research career as an honours student in the laboratory of Dr. Frederick Westbrook at the University of New South Wales, where she obtained a B.Psych (Hones) and later a Ph.D. Her postdoctoral work took her initially to one of the world’s hubs for learning theory and behaviour, namely Cardiff University where she worked with Drs. Rob Honey, Mark Good, Simon Killcross, Dominic Dwyer, John Aggleton, and John Pearce. Subsequently, she joined Dr. Schoenbaum at the University of Maryland and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. In 2014, Mihaela commenced an independent position at Concordia University.

Info: Sonia Lupien est fondatrice et directrice du Centre d’études sur le stress humain, dont la mission est de transmettre au grand public des connaissances scientifiquement validées sur le stress. Elle détient la Chaire de recherche du Canada sur le stress humain.

Chercheuse scientifique depuis plus de 20 ans, Dre Lupien étudie les effets du stress sur le cerveau humain, de la petite enfance jusqu’à l’âge adulte et le vieillissement. Ses recherches ont démontré que les enfants sont tout aussi vulnérables au stress que les adultes, et que des enfants dès l’âge de six ans peuvent produire des niveaux élevés d’hormones de stress. Ses études chez les adultes ont révélé que le stress peut nuire de façon significative à la mémoire, tandis que ses travaux chez les personnes âgées ont mis en lumière les effets du stress sur le vieillissement cérébral.

Info: Michael J Meaney is a James McGill Professor of Medicine in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neurology & Neurosurgery at McGill University situated at the Douglas Mental health University Institute. He is the Director of the Maternal Adversity, Vulnerability and Neurodevelopment Project. Meaney also joined the Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences in 2008 as a Senior Investigator and leads the Integrative Neuroscience Program. Meaney was educated at Loyola College of Montreal and received his PhD from Concordia University (Montreal) with post-doctoral training in Cell and Molecular Neurobiology at The Rockefeller University. Meaney’s primary research interest is that of the stable effects of early experience on gene expression and development, focusing on the influence of variations in maternal care.

Info: Karim Jerbi is a professor at the Psychology department of the University of Montreal. He holds the Canada Research Chair in Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Neuroimaging and is the director of the UNIQUE Centre (the Quebec Neuro-AI research center). He is a member of the Royal Society of Canada's College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. He obtained a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience and Brain Imaging from the Pierre & Marie Curie University in Paris (France) and a biomedical engineering degree from the University of Karlsruhe (Germany). His research lies at the crossroads between cognitive, computational and clinical neuroscience. The goal of his research is to probe the role of large-scale brain dynamics in higher-order cognition, and investigate brain network alterations in the case of psychiatric and neurological disorders.
