BRAIN DEVELOPMENT & LEARNING:  MAKING SENSE OF THE SCIENCE
(Conference/Symposium/Event)
August 19-22, 2006    Vancouver, British Columbia, CA

     Announcing the inaugural meeting of a biennial, international
conference devoted to enriching and improving the lives of children by
making cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience
understandable to nonscientists (including parents) who work with
children on a daily basis.  The two themes for this year’s meeting are
Brain Plasticity and Interventions.
     Speakers include Helen Neville, Michael Meaney, Mark Greenberg,
William Greenough, Bruce McCandliss?, Martha Garcia-Sellers, Tony
Phillips, Janet Werker, and Linda Siegel.  In addition to scientists,
the conference will also feature a presentation by artists.
      Topics include bridging culture gaps between home & school,
neural mechanisms of learning & memory, genes & experience, effect of
exercise on the brain, ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia.  Introductory
tutorials will be offered on neuroimaging, neuroanatomy, and
neurotransmitters.
       Continuing education credits are available in many, many fields,
including medicine, education, psychology, law, allied health
professions, etc. and in many subspecialties for both the US & Canada.
People can fulfill those requirements and take a tax deduction for
coming to paradise in August.
    A limited number of registration scholarships are available for
people of limited means.

******************************************************************************************************
The Visiting Fellowship Program in Functional MRI continues to be
offered three times per year in Charlestown (5 minutes from Boston),
Massachusetts.  It is sponsored by the MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A. Martinos
Center for Biomedical Imaging.



   The next program is scheduled for  June 26-30, 2006. 



 The  June 26-30, 2006 program is a 5-Day intensive workshop.
Participants attend lectures, have ample time for informal discussion
with the lecturers, attend a "demonstration" fMRI experiment, get some
hands-on experience with data analysis, design a group fMRI experiment,
and implement, execute, and analyze the data from that experiment.



   The main focus is on the basics of the physics, experimental design,
and data analysis of fMRI-based experiments.  It serves as a rapid and
thorough introduction to people new to the field, who are considering
active research or are planning and carrying experiments based on fMRI.
 Many laboratories have found this an efficient way to get new people
started (in contrast to having to wait for a full semester's normal
academic program).  Participants with a modest amount of experience in
an fMRI-based laboratory, and who are ready for a more thorough
presentation of the foundations, also report getting a great deal from
the program.

    The emphasis continues to be on theoretical basics, with hands-on
experimental design workshops and detailed discussion of issues
associated with data analysis and data-analysis-software packages.
However, this is not primarily a course designed to teach participants
the details of using any specific package.

For on-line registration and more detailed information regarding
registration, accommodation, etc., consult the web page at:

FULL-TIME NEUROIMAGING RESEARCH POSITION FOR PHYSICIANS (Faculty Position)
SECTION ON INTEGRATIVE NEUROIMAGING, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL
HEALTH, NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a major
research component of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) and the Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS), offers a full-time research position for a senior
or junior physician at one of the premier research sites in
the U.S., the 300 acre Bethesda campus of the NIH, near
Washington D.C. which houses state-of-the-art neuroimaging
facilities (MRI, PET and MEG) dedicated to research. The
strong scientific environment and outstanding equipment
resources at NIH make this a unique opportunity for an
outstanding scientist/physician.  The position is open to
MD's trained in psychiatry, neurology, nuclear medicine,
radiology or other relevant field.  Senior physicians will
be hired at the Staff Clinician level; junior MD's will be
hired as Staff Fellows.  The successful candidate will be
part of a multidisciplinary team using neuroimaging to map
genetic and neurochemical mechanisms associated with normal
higher cognitive function as well as dysfunction in
neuropsychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia, those
with genetic sources of cognitive dysfunction (e.g.
Williams syndrome), and other conditions such as normal
aging.  In addition to collaborative work within the team,
there is opportunity for outstanding candidates to develop
their own projects within the Unit.  Possible research
areas include 1) neurofunctional substrate of higher
cognitive function, particularly working memory and frontal
lobe, 2) neurofunctional bases of neuropsychiatric
illnesses, especially schizophrenia, 3) computational
neuroscience (statistical and systems approaches), and 4)
neurochemical underpinnings of higher cognitive function
and dysfunction.  Familiarity with computational and
statistical methods for neuroimaging (e.g. Unix, C/C++,
MatLab?, SPM, and AFNI) confers an advantage but is not
absolutely required.  Competitive stipends depend on level
of experience.  Letter of interest outlining experience and
research goals, CV, and three recommendation letters to:

Full-Time Research Associate Position (Research Assistant)
Laboratory of Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD?, Department of Neurology and
Physiology, University of California, San Francisco- New Mission Bay Cam

Work in a cognitive neuroscience lab integrating the techniques of
functional MRI (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG) and transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS) to study how human brain region interactions
underlie higher order cognitive processes, such as attention and memory.
 Studies will also involve pharmacological interventions and
involvement of patient populations. As a Staff Research Associate (SRA),
the employee will assume an integrated role in all aspects of the data
collection and analysis.  Additionally, the employee will serve to
supervise and manage Dr. Gazzaley’s lab.  Relevant projects are
identified by the Principal Investigator (PI), and are carried out
under the general academic supervision of the PI and post-doctoral
fellows.  Responsibilities will involve coordinating all data collection
aspects of the research, including: enrollment and tracking of subjects,
preparation of experiment materials, independent collection of data
using a variety of techniques (fMRI, EEG and TMS and behavioral
testing), and the maintenance of subject data in a database.  Data
analysis is performed independently under academic supervision, and
includes the use of established programs (e.g, SPM and Analyzer) as well
as the development and assessment of new analytical tools and
techniques.  The SRA is expected to present relevant findings at
scientific meetings and to participate in the co-authorship of
scientific publications. The SRA also will play a role in the management
of laboratory resources and supplies, purchases, and financial
accounting.  Furthermore, the SRA is expected to train new lab members
and as lab leader to train others in laboratory safety issues.
