Each of these regions is present \, in approximately the same location\, in virtually every normal person. I like to think of this initial rough sketch of the functional organizatio n of the brain as a diagram of the major components of the human mind\, a kind of picture of who we are as perceivers and thinkers. But at the same time this new map is just the barest beginning\, revealing a vast landscap e of unanswered questions. What other specialized regions exist in the cor tex\, and what are they specialized for? How do these regions arise in dev elopment\, and how much of the organization of the brain is specified at b irth? Perhaps most fundamentally\, why\, from a computational point of vie w\, is the brain organized the way it is\, with this combination of highly specialized brain regions\, along with very general-purpose systems? Thes e open questions are much harder to answer\, but I will mention a few tant alizing glimmers that are beginning to emerge from labs around the world. \n\n\n \n Call for Posters\n Location\n Organizing Committee\n Scientific Commi ttee\n \n\n \n Call for Posters \n\n Sharing Science and Knowledge\n\n Young sc ientists across Montreal have the opportunity to share their ideas and res earch during Neuropsychology Day. Trainees at the undergraduate\, graduate \, and postdoctoral level are invited to present their work. The poster se ssion will take place in-person and talks will be delivered in a hybrid fo rmat.\n\n Abstract submissions will be entered into a competition with priz es of $250 for first place and $100 for three runners-up! \n\n The scientif ic presentations are intended to ignite discussion\, collaboration\, and c onnection among the Montreal cognitive neuroscience community. We encourag e you to share your most current project in any stage of development\, inc luding literature reviews\, research questions\, and pilot projects.\n\n   \n \n\n \n Location\n\n The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital is at 3801 University Street\, north of Pine Avenue West\, on the 91ºÚÁÏÍø Univer sity campus opposite the former Royal Victoria Hospital.\n\n Montreal is se rved by highway Routes 10\, 15\, 20 and 40\, and by Greyhound Bus\, ViaRai l and the P-E-Trudeau airport. In the city\, bus and metro service is prov ided by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM).\n\n Wheelchair access\n \n A wheelchair accessible entrance is on University Street north of the ma in entrance. Another wheelchair accessible entrance is in the loading area behind the building: to enter the loading area\, turn into the driveway s outh of the main entrance. Please note\, there is no parking in the loadin g area.\n\n Parking\n\n Parking near the MNI is sometimes difficult. There a re parking meters on University Street and a parking lot north of the main entrance. To enter the lot\, turn right into the driveway toward Molson S tadium.\n\n Information about parking fees\n\n Taxi Stand\n\n There is a taxi stand on University Street across from the main entrance. You may call a cab from the free taxi phone in the main lobby near the Security Desk.\n\n Access by Public Transportation (STM website)\n\n Bus\n\n There are four bus stops within walking distance:\n\n \n Bus 144 stops at Pine Avenue and Univ ersity Street\n Bus 356 stops at Sherbrooke Street and University Street (N ightbus)\n Bus 107 stops at Pine Avenue and Docteur Penfield\n Bus 24 stops at Sherbrooke Street and University Street\n \n\n Metro\n\n Take the Metro Gr een Line to the 91ºÚÁÏÍø station. Walk north on University Street and cross Pine Avenue. The main entrance is on the right\, past the flags.\n\n Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre\n\n \n Enter main lobby turn left and go down the hall way to the end.\n Turn right and go down the second hallway until you see a nother hallway on the left.\n This hallway leads to the Jeanne Timmins Foye r.\n On your right are the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre entrance doors.\n \n \n\n \n Organizing Committee\n\n Lesley Fellows\n\n Xiaoqian Chai\n\n Denise Kl ein\n\n Michael Petrides\n\n Debbie Rashcovsky\n\n  \n \n\n \n Scientific Commit tee\n\n Xiaoqian Chai\n\n Denise Klein\n\n Colleen Hughes\n\n Stephanie Descha mps\n\n Miyoung Chung\n\n Alan Yin\n\n  \n\n  \n \n\n DTSTART:20230501T173000Z DTEND:20230501T223000Z LOCATION:Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre\, Montreal Neurological Institute\, CA \, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:24th Annual Neuropsychology Day and Brenda Milner Lecture: Functio nal Specializations in the Cortex in Humans: Which\, When\, and Why?
