However, traditional network approaches in brain imaging are rather descriptive, often failing to identify pathophysiological mechanisms that link system-level phenomena to the multiple hierarchies of brain function, including gene and neurotransmitter systems. In my talk, I will shortly review the evolving concepts of brain network dysfunction in clinical populations, concentrating on schizophrenia as an example. I will discuss the benefits and limitation of traditional approaches and provide examples of how novel network tools can - in combination with pharmacological imaging and genetic analyses - address some of the challenges and can help pave the way for a more integrated understanding of brain dysfunction in mental disorders. The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series Advancing the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918?2014), former Director of the Neuro (1972?1984) and Founding Director of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging. Speakers will include scientists from across The Neuro, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment of brainand cognitive disorders. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in presenting please contact us to secure a spot on the schedule. Looking forward to reconnecting!

Yet, much remains to be understood about how individuals track, encode, and are influenced by the structure of the social networks that they inhabit. This talk will provide an overview of recent work integrating theory and methods from social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and social network analysis, as well as the motivation for combining these lines of inquiry. One set of studies tests if, when, and how people retrieve knowledge of familiar others? positions in their real-world social networks when encountering them. Related research tests how this knowledge, once retrieved, shapes downstream processing and behavior. An additional set of studies tests if human social networks exhibit assortativity in how their members perceive, interpret, and respond to their environment. Consistent with this possibility, inter-individual similarities of neural responses to naturalistic stimuli accurately predict the distance between individuals in their shared social network, such that friends have exceptionally similar responses to the world around them. All human cognition is embedded within social networks, but research on information processing within individuals has progressed largely separately from research on the social networks in which individuals are embedded. The set of findings to be reviewed in this talk suggests that integrating approaches from social psychology, neuroscience, and social network analysis can provide new insights into how individuals perceive, shape, and are shaped by the structure of their social world.
