> Neurodegenerative diseases appear to progress by spreading through brain networks. I will describe how we determine patient-specific “epicenters” in patients with frontotemporal dementia and use a connectome-based spreading model to forecast future atrophy. We show that we can accurately predict longitudinal atrophy in most patients and find evidence that degeneration spreads from the epicenter in a nonlinear fashion. This approach raises important questions about the neuroanatomical basis of functional connectivity, which gradients may shed light on. Building on this, I will share a new study where we derive functional activity gradients, describe a number of novel anatomical and dynamic properties of these gradients, and discuss their implications for selective vulnerability to disease.

> 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 brain and cognitive disorders. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in presenting please contact us to secure a spot on the schedule.
