Although MRI provides a non-invasive means ofassessing brain i ron using contrasts like quantitative susceptibility and transverse relaxation rates\, these biomarkers often lack specificity. To address thi s\, Evgeniya’swork integrated multiple iron-sensitive MRI parameters wit h biophysical models and3D quantitative histology to understand iron- induced contrast mechanisms. Thisapproach enables the development o f cell-specific MRI biomarkers. For this talk\,Evgeniya will discuss a key application of this work: mapping density and iron loadof dopaminer gic neurons for the early detection of Parkinson's disease.\n\nhttps://ind ico.giga.uliege.be/event/569/contributions/440/ LOCATION:Building A1 - University of Liège Academic Hall URL:https://indico.giga.uliege.be/event/569/contributions/440/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Breakout session PM1.

The "My data organization is as good as your s" fallacy DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250207T124500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250207T134500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260617T132929Z UID:indico-contribution-569-437@indico.giga.uliege.be DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Christophe Phillips (GIGA CRC human imaging)\nIn neu roimaging\, scientists have been using open-source software since the mid- 1990's but there existed no consensus on how researchers should systematic ally organize their data. Typically each lab would structure their dataset in their own way\, such that only one/few researcher/s would know how to make sense of them. Moreover\, the data could be spread across supports\, e.g. in a lab book on a shelf\, some Excel file on a laptop\, and several hard-drives! Such lack of consensus leads to misunderstandings and time wa sted on rearranging data or rewriting scripts expecting certain structure. In 2016\, Gorgolewski et al. proposed the "Brain Imaging Data Structure" (BIDS): a framework to solve these issues in an practical and easy-to-adop t way\, using open file formats. Since then\, BIDS has been broadly adopte d by the neuroimaging community and extended to describe several additiona l modalities and 'data derivatives'. BIDS success can be linked to its bei ng a community effort\, addressing clear use cases\, solving common end-us er problems\, and presenting low technical barrier to entry. BIDS effectiv ely provides a simple and intuitive way to organize and describe your neur oimaging/behavioural data. These principles could be extended to other fie lds.\n\nhttps://indico.giga.uliege.be/event/569/contributions/437/ LOCATION:Building A1 - University of Liège Academic Hall URL:https://indico.giga.uliege.be/event/569/contributions/437/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Poster session DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250207T113000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250207T124500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260617T132929Z UID:indico-contribution-569-436@indico.giga.uliege.be DESCRIPTION:https://indico.giga.uliege.be/event/569/contributions/436/ LOCATION:Building A1 - University of Liège Academic Hall URL:https://indico.giga.uliege.be/event/569/contributions/436/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Breakout session AM2.

They offer insights into how sensory\, perceptual\, and cognitiveprocesses ar e implemented in cortical layers. This breakout session will explorethe im portance of layer-specific research.
