Section leader: Florian Storch, PhD
Section instructors: Diane Boivin, MD PhD
The section provides an overview of the major areas in the field of circadian rhythms (with an emphasis on research performed in mammals, both humans and rodents). The main goal of this course is to familiarize students with many of the basic concepts and theories in this multidisciplinary area of research.
Section 003: Neurogenomics of brain disorders; Room 138 - Ludmer Research Building
Section leader: Lan Xiong, MD/PhD
Section instructors: TBD
This section will focus on how the genome influences the development and function of human brain; and how genomic variations contribute to brain disorders at individual, family and population level; as well as through functional genomics and neurobiological pathways and mechanisms. Students will gain knowledge about genomic technologies and methodologies, and their applications in research of brain disorders.
Section 004: Quantitative analysis of behavior
Section leader: Suresh Krishna (suresh.krishna [at] mcgill.ca)
This section aims to provide a fundamental treatment of the quantitative analysis of behavior, with a focus on the sensorimotor loop. The connections between the foundations of statistical analysis and methods in behavioral analysis will be emphasized. Specific topics will include the principles of signal detection theory, joint modeling of reaction-time and choice, psychometrics and brain-behavior interactions. We will go through key methods using both theory and programming notebooks, while reading papers using a variety of different techniques and theoretical frameworks, including those from psychophysics, cognitive science, and neuroscience. The goal is to collectively develop a deep and principled understanding of how to think about this area of neuroscience/psychology/cognition. This course is directed towards students who are able to think quantitatively (or would like to do so), but does not require specific mathematical preparation beyond intro calculus and high-school algebra; prior exposure to statistical thinking as well as basic Python/R programming, or an active willingness to learn, will be helpful.
Time and Location: FERR 476 on Monday from 2:35 pm until 5:25 pm.
Section 005: Classic and Cutting-Edge Techniques in Neuroscience - Room L7-140
Section leader: Brian Chen, PhD
Section instructors: Brian Chen, PhD., Wei-Hsiang Huang, PhD., Jean-François Poulin, PhD.
Most of the greatest discoveries in neuroscience have come from the development of novel techniques. This section will introduce students to a small sampling of the cutting-edge techniques that have been or are being developed to answer the intractable problems of neuroscience. Our goal is to demonstrate how novel techniques in neuroscience have not only advanced our fundamental understanding of how the brain works, but can also revolutionize biology research.
Section 006: Population Neuroscience and Mental Health - Location: MC 2001, room 1552
Section leader: Massimiliano Orri, PhD
Section instructors: Léa Perret, PhD
Mental disorders are among the most prevalent non-communicable diseases and account for a disproportionate amount of health-related burden in the population. This section aims to provide a broad understanding of the main mental disorders, and the study designs used to investigate their prevalence, risk factors, and consequences from a population-based perspective. We will focus on the integration of epidemiological methods with neuroscience to understand the distribution and determinants of mental health across the life course. We will explore how social, developmental, and environmental exposures interact with neurobiological processes to influence mental health. Topics will include neurodevelopmental and behavioral disorders, biomarkers, neuroimaging, genetic and environmental influences, and the use of large-scale population data (e.g., longitudinal cohorts, biobanks, administrative health records). The course will also address ethical and methodological challenges in population neuroscience, such as causality, data harmonization, and equity, and will discuss implications for prevention, policy, and public health.
Section 007: Critical Analysis: Applications from autism research - Time TBA, to be held at the Duff building(adjacent to Neuro
Section leader: Mayada Elsabbagh, PhD

Section 008: Neuroinformatics for Advancing Precision Medicine in Neurology
Section leader: Yasser Iturria-Medina, PhD Section instructors : Sue-Jing Lin, Lazaro Rodriguez Sanchez, Robert Tobias Baumeister, Joon Hong
Progressive diseases (e.g., neurodegenerative conditions) often start with non-detectable clinical symptoms and may take years (or even decades) to develop. Predicting the distinctive individual course of a progressive disorder is of crucial importance for accurate diagnosis and personalized therapeutic intervention. However, in practice, there are multiple challenges associated with this problem, such as a high intersubject variability within the same disorder and the lack of robust disease biomarkers. A growing number of studies have attempted to overcome this gap by using Big-Data and sophisticated statistical and computational models, including novel Artificial Intelligence techniques. In this section, we are going to focus on state-of-the-art models using multiomics molecular, multi-modal brain imaging, and/or clinical data to characterize disease evolution and heterogeneity in neurology, as well as discuss implications.
Section 009: Neuronal growth and plasticity - Location: Room L7-140, Montreal General Hospital
Section leader: Yong Rao, PhD
Section instructors: Keith Murai, PhD., David Stellwagen, PhD
This unit covers the key issues relating to the establishment and remodeling of neuronal circuitry in the nervous system. The emphasis will be on the critical discussion of recent findings that address the fundamental questions at both cellular and molecular levels. The first half of the unit will discuss the mechanisms underlying the initial wiring of neural networks during development, including the topics of neuronal polarity, axon guidance, neuronal target recognition and axon pruning. The second half of the unit will explore mechanisms that regulate synapse formation and plasticity in vertebrate model systems. This portion will include such topics as mechanisms that govern pre- and postsynaptic development, regulation of physiological plasticity, morphological plasticity of dendritic spines, and glial modulation of synaptic function.
