I will discuss my lab’s recent efforts to integrate RNA sequencing with diffusion MR imaging to find corresponding ages across the lifespan in humans and other species. I will use the same framework to investigate the evolution and development of circuits in the human lineage. Harnessing the integration of transcriptomic and connectomic information provides new and exciting opportunities to study conservation and variation in developmental programs giving rise to the human brain.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; line-height: 15pt;" class=""><strong class=""><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">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.
