Our 1pm October 7 Users' Meeting speaker, Dr. Mallar Chakravarty is the Director of the Cerebral Imaging Centre (which is part of the Douglas Research Centre), and he is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University. Additionally, he is the PI of the Computational Brain Anatomy Laboratory (CoBrA Lab). Dr. Chakravarty's lecture will also be available via Zoom for those unable to attend in person.
Dr. Chakravarty is interested in the anatomy of the brain and how it matures through adolescence, how it stays healthy through the normal ageing process, and how alterations in brain anatomy are related to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia.
