Dr. Joo-won Kim MtSinaiPostdocs will present talk "#Reproducibility of Quantitative Cervical Spinal Cord MRI for Multi-center Clinical Trials in #MultipleSclerosis", Demyelination in the Spinal Cord: MS, NMO & ALS session at 14:06pm 5/14 Rm513D-F #ISMRM19 National MS Society #IPMSA

Dr. Alan Seifert Alan C. Seifert MtSinaiPostdocs will present D-poster #2816 "Impact of Autocalibration Method on Accelerated Echo-Planar Imaging of the Cervical Spinal Cord at 7T" at Neuroimaging: Flying High at 7T & Beyond session, 1:30-2:30pm, 5/14, Computer 170 #ISMRM19

Junqian Gordon Xu will present D-poster #2976 "Slice-Accelerated Inner-Volume Cervical Spinal Cord Diffusion MRI" in Novel Neuroimaging Methods: Neuro session at 2:30-3:30pm, 5/14, Computer 158 #ISMRM19

Dr. Alan Seifert Alan C. Seifert MtSinaiPostdocs will present D-poster #2891 "Anthropomorphic Spinal Cord Phantom with Respiratory B0 Field Fluctuations" at Spinal Cords, Disks & Nerves: Neuro session, 2:30-3:30pm, 5/14, Computer 70 #ISMRM19

I'm excited to be selected as one of the inaugural Reproducible Neuroimaging / INCF fellows this year. Can't wait to implement the Reproducible Neuroimaging training syllabus developed in today's "train the trainer" workshop and disseminate locally as a training workshop.

Congratulations again to MtSinaiPostdocs Dr. Alan Seifert Alan C. Seifert for being awarded ISMRM Junior Fellow this year, with pictures from the #ISMRM19 awards ceremony.

Dr. Alan Seifert's Alan C. Seifert paper "Formalin tissue fixation biases #myelin‐sensitive MRI" is out in Magn Res Medicine doi.org/10.1002/mrm.27…, which urges caution in the comparison of qMT and MWI results across specimens in different states, especially unfixed versus fixed tissue.

Congrats to Grad School at Icahn Mount Sinai #neuroscience PhD candidate Benjamin Ely, co-mentored by Drs. Emily Stern and Vilma Gabbay, for successfully defending his dissertation "Function and anatomy of the human #habenula circuit". Proud to hood him during the hooding ceremony Lincoln Center

Dr. Benjamin Ely will present poster (M064, abstract #4737), titled "Aberrant #habenula connectivity in #adolescent mental illness" today in Category: Disorders of the Nervous System -> Research Domain Criteria studies (#RDoC) #OHBM2019 at Rome, Italy. Collab. w/ Dr. Vilma Gabbay

Junqian Gordon Xu will present poster (TH242, abstract #4212), titled "Towards individual-level somatotopic mapping in chronic #SpinalCordInjury using multimodal MRI" today in Category: Disorders of the Nervous System -> Other #OHBM2019 at Rome, Italy. In collab. w/ @MtSinaiRehabMed

Every alumnus (graduate student or postdoctoral fellow) from Junqian Gordon Xu gets a handpicked children's picture book before leaving the lab. Dr. Benjamin Ely got #HappyDreamer written by Peter H. Reynolds Peter H. Reynolds

A tour de force effort by Dr. Benjamin Ely braines raines to characterize #habenula functional connectivity in healthy young adults from the HCP News Project, revealing connectivity with #salience network, early sensory cortices, and a strong bias towards task-positive regions.
