3rd Edition (2013)
GENERAL
Third edition of the "Aspects of Neuroscience" Conference is coming soon; this year, for the very first time, it is going to be international. It is organized by members of the Neurobiology Students' Scientific Club of University of Warsaw as a part of the "Aspects of Neuroscience" Project.
As in the following years, this time the Conference also consists of poster and report symposia, enriched with an additional thematic block: Neuromethods. November symposia will be devoted to: Neurobiology, Neuropsychology, Neurology and Neurosurgery, Neuroinformatics, Neuromethods, and Neuroscience Borderlines. Each of the thematic symposia will be preceded by a lecture delivered by one of the guests, a specialist of a given domain. The schedule also provides special lectures opening and closing the Conference.
The guiding principle of this year's edition will be neuroimaging.
The student lectures will take place simultaneously in two rooms, in basic version ( papers intended for beginning listeners in a given domain) and in extended version ( for people who have some substantial bases). Because of its international nature, the Conference will be conducted in English (with the exception of the basic symposium). The event is intended for students, doctoral students, and research workers related to neuroscience but also for people who do not have any experience with this field of knowledge.

ABSTRACT BOOK - GUESTS LECTURES
Human Brain Project – implications for clinical neuroscience
Prof. Richard Frackowiak
Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Université de Lausanne, Switzerland
The Human Brain Project is a massive collaborative effort, funded by the European Union, between basic and clinical neuroscientists and computer engineers. They aim to develop a working theory of the brain from the most basic level – its genes, to the most complicated – cognition, emotion, perception and action. Using experimental data collected over decades, they will employ supercomputers to generate a brain model. The model will help computer science to design more energy efficient and powerful brain-based computers than at present. Neuroscience will have a blueprint of the brain permitting new insights into our humanity. Neurologists and psychiatrists will develop new diagnoses based on faulty brain mechanisms and use them to promote personalised medicine. This grand challenge will drive major advances in medicine under European leadership in the next decade. The lecture will present preliminary results of these first attempts at a data mining approach to a new diagnostic nosology of brain diseases.
How to build neurons from molecules?
Jacek Jaworski
Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology, International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, Warsaw, Poland
Neuron is a basic functional unit of the nervous system. Neurons are characterized by very high morphological polarization and different types of neurons can acquire different shapes. Such variety reflects diversity of neuronal functions and specialization. Achieving proper mature neuronal morphology is a very complex, multistage process that starts with neuronal birth and is followed by migration, symmetry breaking, axon and dendrites development and finally synaptogenesis. Once neurons mature changes in their overall “body plan” are relatively minor. Yet, some cells develop dendritic spines that are equivalents of excitatory synapses that remain “plastic” through neuronal lifespan. On a molecular level process of neuronal development is very tightly regulated by combination of genetic program and environmental cues that engage cellular signaling to change cytoskeleton dynamics, metabolism, macromolecule synthesis and membrane trafficking to induce proper neuronal growth. During my talk, using examples from seminal papers in the field and our own laboratory practice, I will discuss logic of molecular events underlying such stages of neuronal morphology development as axonal growth, dendritic arborization and structural dendritic spine plasticity.
The language-cognition interface: Two examples for understanding language impairment against the background of neurocognitive profiles
Stefan Heim
University Hospital Aachen, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany
Speaking or reading requires a series of complex linguistic processes, which may be disturbed in variants of aphasia or dyslexia. In contrast to earlier, modular views on language processing, recent developments suggest that considering other cognitive abilities leads to a better understanding of the nature of the disorder. I will give two examples. First, I will demonstrate how the notion of cognitive profiles improves our insights in reading difficulties both at the cognitive and at the neurofunctional level. Second, I will show the association and dissociation of linguistic decline in primary progressive aphasia, a neurodegenerative disease, with the domains of attention, practical abilities, and learning. The presentation will conclude with a couple of novel paradigms that were devised to simulate reading and speaking disorders on the basis of our knowledge of the relevance of neurocognitive profiles of patients
Glaucoma: an eye disease that affects the brain
Michał Fiedorowicz
Mossakowski Medical Research Centre, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland
Glaucoma is a common disease of sight that leads to irreversible blindness due to degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Degeneration of RGCs and its axon forming optic nerve was long considered as a consequence of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). However, the pathomechanism of glaucoma seems to be far more complex. IOP elevation is not always observed in glaucoma patients and more importantly its reduction not always stops the progress of the disease. Recent observations demonstrate that degeneration is not limited to retina and optic nerve but it extends to central stations of visual pathway, including lateral geniculate nucleus and visual cortex. Efforts to understand the meaning of this extra-retinal degeneration for the pathophysiology of glaucoma could result in better diagnostic procedures and novel therapies that would efficiently arrest the progress of glaucoma.
Simulation of Neuronal Activity of Human Embryonic Stem Cells Recorded with Multielectrode Arrays
Kerstin Lenk
Tempere University of Technology, Finland
The neuronal system can be studied by examining brain circuitry. However, a much more direct way is to culture neuronal cells and networks in an in vitroenvironment. Here, our aim is to produce in vitro and their in silico counterpart model of neuronal networks. Current state of the art in vitro systems utilize 2D cultured neuronal networks grown on multielectrode arrays (MEAs). In in vitro experiments with MEAs cultivated e.g. networks of rodent’s neurons or neuronal cell networks derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCNN) can be recorded. Those recorded data show a rich variability of activity patterns. We developed and implemented a model called INEX (INhibitory/ EXcitatory) to simulate neuronal activity as observed in MEA experiments with frontal cortex tissue of embryonic mice and hPSCNNs. The model is based on Glauber dynamics and a Poisson process. Each neuron has either an inhibitory (negative synaptic strength) or an excitatory (positive synaptic strength) effect to its neighbors. We examined the balance between excitation and inhibition. Single and multiple mechanisms of action when a neuro-active substance was added to the neuronal network can be simulated. Bursts, cascades of action potentials, play a crucial role in neuronal networks on MEAs. This important feature was examined for a developing hPSCNN among others. For hPSCNN network we observed larger variation on the activity development compared to frontal cortex tissue of embryonic mice. This is natural as the hPSCNN cells are less mature and can develop to various neuronal lineages unlike the matured cortical neurons. Thus, with this simple model profound conclusions can be made about the examined biological neural network.
Structural and functional neuroimaging of human brain
Artur Marchewka
Laboratory of Brain Imaging, Neurobiology Center, Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland
Magnetic Resonance Neuroimaging is a rapidly growing field of research. Emergence of advanced technologies enabled the scientists to explore brain function in vivo and studding the structure and function of the human brain on a scale larger than ever. During my talk, using examples from own recent papers and new experiments conducted in the Laboratory of Brain Imaging (LOBI), Neurobiology Center, NenckiInstitiute of Experimental Biology, I will discuss possibilities to answer various experimental questions. The presentation will be divided in two parts in order to show clearly methodology for studying brain structure using Voxel Based Morphometry and function of human the brain using Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent response.
Neuromagic: How magic helps to understand the brain
Hugo Caffaratti
Centre for Systems Neuroscience, University of Leicester, United Kingdom
It would have been difficult to guess, a few years ago, that one of the Ancient Arts – Illusionism, designed primarily to entertain – could one day become an important research tool in the fields of both psychology and cognitive neuroscience.Yet distinguished neuroscientists around the world are beginning to study and practice the art of (legitimate) deception, controlled confusion, and (mis)directed attention, with the goal of designing new and sophisticated paradigms that help them decode cognitive mechanisms such as attention, memory, conscious visual perception and decision-making. For thousands of years, using trial and error, Magic has been compiling an ‘instruction manual’ on how to hack the human brain, based on the evidence of seemingly impossible facts. This knowledge constitutes a vital body of material for cognitive neuroscience. In this sense, each trick, in all its parts, is an experiment in itself, and can be adapted to laboratory conditions. As a result, scientists and illusionists have been able to understand the importance of sharing both experience and knowledge, prompting them to embark on a common project known as NeuroMagic. This term indicates a new scientific discipline, one that attempts to shed light on neurocognitive investigation using innovative paradigms based on the Ancient Art, which have, until now, remained incomprehensible to the scientific community. Despite NeuroMagic’s very recent establishment as a discipline, already several important results have been obtained and published in prestigious journals. Without doubt, one of the most studied models up until now has to do with attentional mechanisms, which, in particular, Magic has a lot to say about. But the control of attention is only one of many ingredients used by illusionism to conduct its miracles. As already mentioned, the control of memory and decision-making processes in general also constitute a fundamental part of the Art. The research into such cognitive phenomena from the perspective of NeuroMagic is, in short, the subject of my doctoral thesis. As with any new discipline, there is still much to be done with regards to consolidating a common approach that would allow laboratories worldwide to undertake their research using a universal frame of reference. This goal has to be realised whilst still respecting the interests of both concerned parties: science and illusionism. And who knows, perhaps illusionism’s greatest trick of all will be to help us better know and understand the human brain.
Psychotherapy of the brain: Treating psychological disorders using the language of neuroscience
Jarosław Michalowski
Faculty of Psychology, University of Warsaw, Poland
The role of psychophysiological mechanisms in the development and maintenance of mental disorders has recently become an important focus of attention. Identifying these mechanisms could improve the effectiveness of psychotherapy and prevention programs. This issue seems to be especially important in case of mental disorders associated with anxiety and depression, showing high prevalence rates of ca. 15% and 30%, respectively. This presentation reviews recent psychophysiological findings regarding the motivational and cognitive mechanisms contributing to the maintenance of anxiety and depression. The presentation will focus mainly on the electrophysiological correlates of attention and memory in specific phobics. The results will be discussed with reference to their implications for psychotherapy programs and future studies.
