Talk Title: Large scale neuroimaging and neuromodulation to promote motor recovery after stroke
Series: Seminars in BME (Lab Rotations)
Abstract: Stroke is a leading cause of adult long term disability, and up to 2/3 of stroke survivors do not fully recover, despite intensive therapy. Identifying and personalizing rehabilitation treatments based on each patient's neurological and behavioral profile could greatly enhance the post-stroke outcomes. In this talk, I will discuss a two-pronged approach to address this problem. First, we are characterizing how specific neuroanatomical changes relate to motor recovery on a large scale. In partnership with ENIGMA Center for Worldwide Medicine, Imaging, and Genomics, we have developed an ENIGMA working group on stroke recovery to harmonize stroke neuroimaging efforts around the world, with an initial goal of n>3000 MRIs. Our preliminary data shows promising results, with specific post-stroke neuroanatomical motor regions relating to motor impairment and recovery, and results becoming more robust as data across sites is combined. Second, we are developing and evaluating neuromodulatory approaches to affect brain activity in key regions after stroke, using noninvasive brain stimulation and brain computer interfaces to enhance therapeutic outcomes. Preliminary work using transcranial direct current stimulation, real-time fMRI connectivity neurofeedback and a portable EEG-based virtual reality neurofeedback system will be discussed, along with future implications of this work for translational research.

Talk Title: Multimodal Imaging of Retinal Oxygen Delivery and Metabolism
Abstract: Retinal tissue function can be adversely affected by inadequate delivery and/or consumption of oxygen. In fact, derangements in retinal oxygenation are thought to contribute significantly to the development of common vision threatening retinal diseases. However, mechanisms that implicate oxygen in the development of retinal pathologies and impairment of retinal function are not completely understood. Therefore, technologies that allow assessment of oxygen tension in the retinal vasculature and tissue are needed to broaden knowledge of disease pathophysiology, and thereby advance diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. We have developed an optical section phosphorescence lifetime imaging technique that allows depth-resolved mapping of retinal vascular oxygen tension and measurement of inner retinal oxygen extraction fraction. Combined with fluorescent microsphere imaging for measurement of retinal blood flow, oxygen delivery by the retinal circulation and global inner retinal oxygen metabolism are derived. These technologies have been applied for assessment of retinal oxygen delivery and metabolism in experimental animal models of retinal ischemia.
