DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind Seminar presents: 'Understan
 ding the aging brain: evidence from behavior\, eye-tracking\, and neuroima
 ging'\n\nRegistration available here.\n\nSpeaker: Rosanna Olsen\n\nSenior 
 Scientist\, Rotman Research Institute\n\nAssistant professor\, Department 
 of Psychology\, University of Toronto\, Canada\n\nAbstract: Exciting new a
 dvances in the neuroimaging and neuropsychological literatures have allowe
 d for a more precise understanding of the organization of brain regions su
 pporting memory. These discoveries have provided a deeper understanding of
  the particular cognitive changes observed in healthy aging and dementia. 
 For example\, high resolution neuroimaging of the medial temporal lobe (MT
 L) has provided support for differentiation of function along the long-axi
 s of the MTL. My work has also revealed how particular MTL subregions chan
 ge with age and how they relate to performance on cognitive assessment in 
 healthy older adults. I will demonstrate how work from our lab using novel
  behavioral and eye-tracking paradigms can reveal novel insights into the 
 aging brain. My research uses these varied approaches\, which can allow fo
 r the functional characterization of particular MTL subregions\, as well a
 s the analysis of broader brain networks that are structurally and functio
 nally coupled with the MTL.\n\nBio: Rosanna Olsen has been a scientist at 
 the Rotman Research Institute\, Baycrest Health Sciences and an assistant 
 professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto sin
 ce 2015. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Calif
 ornia\, San Diego and her Ph.D. in Psychology at Stanford University. Dr. 
 Olsen studies how the brain supports human memory and how these memory-rel
 ated brain regions change as we age. She uses structural and functional ne
 uroimaging as well as eye-tracking to better understand how memories are f
 ormed and later recalled. She has received funding from national and inter
 national granting agencies for her work. She also co-leads an internationa
 l working group which is creating harmonized protocols for medial temporal
  lobe segmentation using in vivo MRI.\n\n\nThe Feindel Virtual Brain and M
 ind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1
 918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984)\, to constantly bridg
 e the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest ad
 vances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, cognitive neuroscience\, and n
 euroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientists from across The Neuro\, a
 s well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the world. 
 The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and train
 ees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms\, 
 diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders.\n
