DESCRIPTION:Register here.\n\nStream via vimeo here.\n\n\nNicole Eichert\n
 \nSir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow\, University of Oxford\, UK\n\nAb
 stract: Our cognitive abilities are often thought of as uniquely human\, b
 ut we can see the roots of these behaviours in our closest relatives in th
 e animal kingdom. Therefore\, a comparative approach that spans different 
 species can be useful in understanding how the human brain evolved and how
  brain anatomy supports these functions. Thanks to recent advances in comp
 arative neuroimaging\, we can now study a larger number of species with gr
 eater anatomical detail\, characterizing features such as connectivity\, m
 icrostructure\, and morphology. By creating multimodal maps of brain archi
 tecture that allow for a 'common space' approach\, we can distinguish betw
 een different forms of anatomical specialization and generate new testable
  hypotheses. In this presentation\, I will discuss a series of studies whe
 re we applied this analysis framework to investigate the neurobiology of t
 he primate brain.\n\nBio: For my BSc degree\, I studied Molecular Medicine
  in Tübingen\, Germany\, and also spent a year at the Karolinska Institute
  in Stockholm\, Sweden. Then\, I became interested in Neuroscience and stu
 died for a MSc in Neural and Behavioural Sciences in Tübingen. During my M
 Sc thesis\, I joined the Max Planck Institute in Nijmegen\, The Netherland
 s\, for a Psycholinguistics project. Afterwards\, I joined the Wellcome Tr
 ust 1+3 PhD programme in Neuroscience at the University of Oxford. Followi
 ng my PhD\, I worked for an Oxford-based company as Biomarker Scientist. I
 n 2022\, I started a Sir Henry Postdoctoral Fellowship in Neuroscience at 
 the University of Oxford\, working on a collaborative project with Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ 
 University in Montreal\, Canada.\n\n\nThe Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar S
 eries will advance the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former 
 Director of the Neuro (1972–1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and 
 research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and discover
 ies in neuropsychology\, cognitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpe
 akers will include scientists from across The Neuro\, as well as colleague
 s and collaborators locally and from around the world. The series is inten
 ded to provide a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to 
 foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treat
 ment of brain and cognitive disorders.\n\n \n
