> Talk abstract
> Recent advances in neuroimaging acquisition and analysis techniques provide novel ways to assess brain networks in vivo, which has put systems neuroscience in an unprecedented position to understand macroscale neural organization, development, and disease. Here, I present novel approaches to model structural connectome data based on cutting edge manifold learning techniques that can capture gradients of macroscale neural organization. I will present recent works that show (1) how manifolds learning techniques applied to whole-brain diffusion MRI connectomes can identify smooth gradients of structural connectivity variations and how they can predict time-varying changes in neural function. I will furthermore show (2) how they can be used for tracking neurodevelopment and for the prediction of cognitive maturation during adolescence, and finally (3) how they can index connectome-level perturbations in autism spectrum conditions, a prevalent and persistent condition of brain connectivity.

> 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.
