DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind Seminar presents 'Predictive
  Network Neuroscience: Controlling Networks to Understand Individual Diffe
 rences in Psychopathology\, Development\, and Cognition'\n\nRegistration a
 vailable here.\n\nSpeaker: Linden Parkes\n\nPostdoctoral Research Fellow\,
  Department of Bioengineering\, University of Pennsylvania\, USA\n\nAbstra
 ct: The brain is a complex system of structurally interconnected regions\,
  and the elaborate topology of this macroscopic connectome enables a rich 
 repertoire of dynamics. Network Control Theory (NCT) provides the means to
  study these dynamics to understand how neuronal signals traverse the conn
 ectome and facilitate inter-regional communication. In this talk\, I will 
 present work using NCT to study individual variability in the human connec
 tome\, with a focus on uncovering novel insights into the link between the
  brain and psychopathology\, development\, and cognition. Specifically\, I
  will show that metrics from NCT substantially improve the out-of-sample p
 rediction of psychosis symptoms compared to canonical measures from graph 
 theory. Furthermore\, I will demonstrate that NCT can be grounded in our k
 nowledge of the brain’s hierarchy of cytoarchitecture and neuronal timesca
 les\, and I will show that leveraging this knowledge provides novel insigh
 ts into connectome development as well as improves the prediction of execu
 tive function.\n\nBio: Dr. Parkes (@LindenParkes) is a postdoctoral resear
 ch fellow at the University of Pennsylvania in the Department of Bioengine
 ering. The central goal of Linden’s research is to better understand menta
 l illness through brain research. To better understand the brain-behavior 
 and brain-symptom relationships that are relevant to mental illness\, we m
 ust be cognizant of their biological underpinnings\, reveal their predicti
 ve capacity\, translate our predictive insights into prognostic impact\, a
 nd uncover the developmental pathways that give rise to brain network dysf
 unction. Dr. Parkes’ work spans these domains and is highly cross-discipli
 nary.\n\n\nThe Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will ad
 vance the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of t
 he Neuro (1972–1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research real
 ms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neurop
 sychology\, cognitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will in
 clude scientists from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collabo
 rators locally and from around the world. The series is intended to provid
 e a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interd
 isciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain
  and cognitive disorders.\n
