Revisiting Wernicke's Area'
According to the classic language model, Wernicke’s area mediates both sentence and word comprehension. Investigations in primary progressive aphasia (PPA) show that word and sentence comprehension have dissociated anatomical substrates and that word comprehension appears to be critically dependent on the left anterior temporal lobe, a region that has remained outside the classic network.

The Human Connectome: Constantly exceeding the possible – pioneering MRI

We look forward to welcoming you to the Siemens Healthineers lunch symposium at OHBM 2017. Hear from our experts to get deeper insights on the Human Connectome project and discover how we constantly exceed the possible in MRI.

Student / Post Doc SIG Mentorship and Career Development Symposium:
Key Factors to consider for career evolution in neuroimaging		 211-214
The Mentorship and Career Development symposium is a new initiative by the OHBM Student and Postdoc SIG aimed at bringing together researchers at all stages to provide counsel on navigating a
career in neuroimaging. The symposium is designed to have a specific theme each year. This year the focus is on early career transitions in academic, as well as non-traditional research routes. The symposium promises a variety of talks from brain mappers that have successfully navigated a neuroscience career in various academic settings around the world, as well as industry input that highlights opportunities to explore outside of academia. The presentations will be followed
by a panel discussion from established PI’s and industry experts on what they look for in candidates interviewing for various positions. The symposium will also feature tips for grant writing, managing
microaggressions and workplace challenges, and seeking a work-life balance. We will present a comprehensive symposium that covers the big questions regarding steering a successful career as a brain mapper. As an extension of the mentorship and career development initiative, this year, the OHBM Student and Postdoc SIG has also announced an online mentorship forum for conference attendees as a continuing effort to help improve support and encouragement across all stages of
career development.

Keynote Lecture 16:15-17:00 Room
Christian Ruff, PhD
University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland		  

Multiple brain systems for decision making?
Neuroimaging studies often focus on brain processes that are specialized for perceptual, motivational, or social information. My lecture describes how these sources of information are flexibly integrated by the brain to control behaviour. Our recent studies characterize such neural choice processes with computationally-informed neuroimaging and brain stimulation methods.

Club Night! 20:00-2:00  

Science World
OHBM’s legendary Club Night promises to be another don’t-miss event as we go to the Science World at TELUS World of Science!  This unique venue is located on the beautiful False Creek and is easily accessible via transit to the Main Street-Science World Train Station or via Aquabus/False Creek ferries.  There will be a DJ “Girl on Wax” that will play dance music throughout the evening, and you can access all the hands-on activities the Science World as to offer.  Don’t miss the food trucks that will offer a variety of foods for purchase from Thai’ to the famous Vancouver Poutine!

The party is complimentary to registrants. Please make sure to bring your ticket to Club Night. Additional guest tickets are $50.00 and must be purchased at the conference registration desk.
