The MRI-INT Center is organizing its annual scientific day on Friday, October 20 at Cerimed. This year’s theme is 'Neuroimaging beyond the cortex’ and will be an awesome opportunity to discover various aspects of imaging the cerebellum, the basal ganglia, and the spinal cord. It will feature talks by international, national, and local experts in the field.

Program :

• 9h : Welcome, presentation of the MRI-INT Center & introduction
• Spinal cord session
  
  • 09.15 : Virginie Callot (CRMBM-Aix-Marseille University) : “Ultra-High Field spinal cord MR imaging : Opportunities ... and challenges !”
  • 10.00 : Nawal Kinany (Geneva university – EPFL) : “Unravelling the functional architecture of the spinal cord using fMRI”
  • 10.30 : Raphaëlle Schlienger (LNC- Aix-Marseille University) : “Mapping human proprioceptive projections of upper limb muscles using spinal cord fMRI”
• 11.00 : Coffee break & Posters session
