Subject: pattern MMN and PCP. Ketamine, NMDAr

Dear MMN colleagues,

I have a question, and since you all are the best and brightest of the MMN world, I thought I would ask you all! If there is an answer out there I suspect one of you would know.

Animal and human studies show that NMDAr antagonists such as ketamine (generally) reduce the size of the MMN to simple physical parameter changes.

Is anyone aware of studies where the more complex pattern MMN has been tested with NMDAr antagonists? I am working on a grant and they are not convinced the pattern MMN and “simple” MMN utilize the same basic mechanisms. I don’t want to have to give PCP or ketamine to people, we’re not really a pharmacology group. But I bet someone has already done this with pattern MMN.

Thanks!

Subject: VS: MMN 2018 congress

Dear MMN fellows,

today we are contacting you regarding the content of Neuroplasticity symposium. The original idea was to focus it on stroke, or, more generally, to neurological disorders. However, despite many contacts, it has not been possible to identify 3-4 MMN researchers from this field who would be committed to travel without financial compensation.

Our current suggestion is that we broaden the scope of this symposium so that it covers stroke (talk given by prof. Friedeman Pulvermüller or his colleague) but also involves other topics among neuroplasticity and MMN.

Best regards,

Mari and Teija

Subject: MMN 2018 congress

Dear colleagues,

we are looking forward to seeing you all in Helsinki in 2018, when the
MMN will have its 40th and the MMN congress its 20th birth day! We
tried to figure out an optimal week for the congress, which is not
during the holiday season (end of June-August) or the most intensive
teaching period, which then would be in mid June. Please, distribute
this information (below is a brief add to make it easier for you).

"MMN 2018 - Adaptive Brain in Health and Disease" will be held in
Helsinki in June 12-15, 2018. By that year the MMN has existed in the
service of basic and applied research for 40 years and the tradition
of the MMN congres has continued for 20 years. More information will
follow in a few weeks.

Best wishes,
Mari, Teija, and Kimmo, on the behalf of congress organizers
