The majority of fibers that exit cerebellar cortex synapse in dentate nuclei (DN) before reaching extracerebellar stru ctures such as cerebral cortex\, but the functional neuroanatomy of human DN remains largely unmapped. I will address three main questions in this p resentation: 1) Why is mapping the intrinsic functional architecture of th e DN\, as elucidated by resting state networks\, clinically relevant? 2) H ow can recent technological advances in neuroimaging research (e.g.\, big magnets\, multichannel array coils and simultaneous multislice-imaging) po tentiate the pace of discovery by mapping previously underexplored regions of the cerebellum? 3) What are the future directions\, which can unmask n ew predictions for basic human functional neuroanatomy and eventually help us build better tools (e.g.\, non-invasive cerebellar stimulation) to ser ve our patients better? In addition to reviewing the foundational aspects of the neuropsychiatry of the cerebellum\, I will present results from our recent work investigating cerebellar function and dysfunction in autism s pectrum disorder\, major depressive disorder\, anxiety disorders and psych osis.\n\nBio: Sheeba received her Bachelor’s degree from Cochin University of Science Technology\, Master’s degree from New Jersey Institute of Tech nology\, and Doctoral degree from Stony Brook University\, all in Biomedic al Engineering. Prior to the current appointments\, she was a Principal Re search Scientist at the Northeastern University Biomedical Imaging Center. She currently holds Research Affiliate positions at the Department of Psy chiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital\, and at the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As a bio medical researcher by training\, she is passionate about translational neu roimaging and her goal is to apply optimized MRI acquisition methods and d ata analysis pipelines for the development of personalized medicine.\n\n\n The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the v ision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1 972–1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The tal ks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, cognitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scien tists from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators loca lly and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognit ive disorders.\n\n\nTo watch via Vimeo\, click here.\n DTSTART:20221012T200000Z DTEND:20221012T210000Z LOCATION:De Grandpre Communications Center\, Montreal Neurological Institut e\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Feindel Brain and Mind Lecture Series:  'Mapping The Little Brain W ith Big Magnets: Clinical Relevance and Future Directions' URL:/neuro/channels/event/feindel-brain-and-mind-lectu re-series-mapping-little-brain-big-magnets-clinical-relevance-and-future-3 42379 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
