This three-day workshop aims to provide participants with critical education in the fundamentals of connectional neuroanatomy and diffusion imaging tractography, applied to the healthy and pathological brain. The workshop is geared towards research students, post-doctoral trainees, research scientists and clinicians who wish to learn how to use tractography and to analyze diffusion MRI data for single case and group studies. The workshop is suitable for participants with a neuroscience, medical imaging and clinical background but there are no entry prerequisites.
Day 1: Fundamentals of Diffusion MRI & Brain Connectivity
The workshop will start with an introduction to brain connectivity, from traditional post-mortem dissections to contemporary diffusion MRI tractography. The day will then focus on lectures and practical tutorials on basic principles of diffusion imaging and tractography.
The afternoon sessions will be dedicated to learn data pre-processing and the fundamentals of tract dissection.
Day 2: Neuroanatomy & Virtual Dissections
The second day will consist of lectures and practical tractography dissection sessions covering multiple white matter tracts. The anatomy, the function and different dissection strategies of the majors associative, commissural and projection systems will be covered during the day.
Day 3: Advanced Diffusion Imaging & Your Data
The third day will be reviewing advanced tractography methods and their recent applications in neurosurgery, neurological and psychiatric conditions. The afternoon will be dedicated to discussing participant datasets and ideal analysis strategies.
