Miriam Celli and Tommaso Volpi awarded a prize

The “Padova Neuroscience Center-PNC” is glad to inform that two of our PhD Students, Miriam Celli and Tommaso Volpi, have been recently awarded for their presentations during two Conferences.

Miriam Celli won the “SIPF Youth Award” as Best Scientific Contribution with her presentation, called “Resting-State EEG Signatures of Visual Exploration Styles”, during the XVIII Conference of the Società Italiana di Psicofisiologia e Neuroscienze Cognitive

 

Tommaso Volpi won the “Gamma Prize 2020” for the Best oral proffered talk, with his presentation called: “The negative relationship between brain metabolism and its network dynamics: stability requires more energy”, during the Pet is Wonderful 2020’s Conference.

Which optical illusions can animals see?

“Many animals fall for the same optical illusions we do, providing clues about how evolution shapes visual perception.”

The work of prof. Agrillo has been cited on the National Geographic site

Brainhack Diversity. Inter-individual variability in cognitive and clinical neuroscience: signal or noise?

Brainhack Global “in Padova” 2020

Title: Brainhack Diversity. Inter-individual variability in cognitive and clinical neuroscience: signal or noise?

When: December 14th to 16th, 2020
Where: the internet, wherever it lies

Organizers: Patrizia Bisiacchi, Giorgia Cona, Davide Poggiali, Antonino Vallesi.

 Brainhack events bring together brain enthusiasts from a variety of backgrounds to build relationships, learn from one another, and collaborate on projects related to the neurosciences [1].
Participants can bring their own dataset, propose a project, and recruit a team of collaborators on site. Access to open online databases of MRI images will be also available during the three days, for new creative ideas to be tested.

Information content in synchronized networks in normal and pathological brain states

by prof. Ramón Guevara Erra, DFA – Dept. of Physics and Astronomy – Padova

When: Nov 17th, 2020 – 3:00 pm

Where: Zoom meeting

Abstract: It is said that complexity lies between order and disorder. In physiology, complexity issues are being considered with increased emphasis. Of crucial importance in the medical setting, pathological activity has been associated with low variability/complexity. In the case of the nervous system, it is well known that excessive synchronization is connected with pathologies such as epilepsy and Parkinson disease. However, brain rhythms and neural synchronization are also crucial for perception and cognition, so it is clear that either too much or not enough synchronization can lead to dysfunctional brain states.

PNC Brain Day – Sept. 25

When: September 25th, 2020

Where: Aula Ippolito Nievo – Cortile Antico, Palazzo del Bo – Padova

The Padua Neuroscience Center is a unique multidisciplinary environment that integrates many different scientific backgrounds with the common effort to understand the brain mechanisms. In this scenario, sharing scientific ideas and technical expertise represents a crucial and fundamental step to establish collaborative networks and to draft powerful scientific plans.

The PNC Brain Day 2020 is the opportunity for the PIs:

  1. To get to know each other in a series of short seminars and round tables;
  2. To contribute to the identification of cross-platform research lines characterizing the PNC scientific plan;
  3. To render PNC a unique and competitive research unit.

Translational Neuroscience: From Network Theory To Personalized Medicine

by prof. Viktor Jirsa, Institut de Neurosciences, Aix-Marseille Universitè

When: June 18th, 2020 – 3:00 pm

Where: Zoom meeting

Abstract: Over the past decade we have demonstrated that the fusion of subject-specific structural information of the human brain with mathematical dynamic models allows building biologically realistic brain network models, which have a predictive value, beyond the explanatory power of each approach independently. Here we illustrate the workflow along the example of epilepsy: we reconstruct personalized connectivity matrices of human epileptic patients using Diffusion Tensor weighted Imaging (DTI).

Biophysical investigation of the molecular pathogenesis of CMT1X neuropathy

by prof. Mario Bortolozzi, Physics and Astronomy Dept., Padova

When: June 4th, 2020 – 3:00 pm

Where: Zoom meeting

Abstract: Mutations of connexin 32 (Cx32) protein cause the X-linked form of Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT1X), a demyelinating peripheral neuropathy for which there is no cure. A growing body of evidence indicates that ATP release through Cx32 hemichannels in Schwann cells could be critical for nerve myelination, but it is unknown if CMT1X mutations alter the physiological mechanism that controls Cx32 hemichannel opening and ATP release.

Our study uncovered a link between CMT1X and Cx32 hemichannel dysfunction, suggesting a candidate peptide for treating the disease caused by the R220X mutation of Cx32.
