معرفی
Ana L. Manera is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at McGill University's Image Processing lab and a cognitive neurology/neuropsychiatry fellow at McGill University Health Centre, specializing in brain imaging biomarkers for neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia.
Her educational background includes:
- MD degree from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Neurology residency at the Italian Hospital of Buenos Aires
- Specialized training in cognitive and behavioral disorders
Her research interests focus on:
- Medical image analysis techniques for neurological disorders
- Machine learning applications in pattern recognition
- Biomarker development for dementia diagnosis
- Differential diagnosis methodologies for neurodegenerative conditions
Analysis of her publication record (2018-2021) reveals consistent emphasis on MRI-based structural analysis, particularly ventricular morphology and cortical atrophy patterns, to differentiate behavioral variant Frontotemporal Dementia from other dementias. Key contributions include computational tools like MNI-FTD Templates and CerebrA for standardized image processing, alongside machine learning algorithms for diagnostic classification.
