Communications Centre, The Neuro, 3801, University Street Registration Required Abstract: Research into the neural mechanisms of psychopathology is traditionally performed in dedicated clinical study samples that are necessarily modest in size, yet the recent availability of population data allows for a new lens on psychopathology research. In my talk I will cover several recent UK Biobank studies performed in my lab on the topics of heterogeneity in depression, transdiagnostic disease classification, and related work. More broadly, I will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of population data in the context of psychopathology research. The Killam Seminar Series at The Neuro Supported by the generosity of the Killam Trusts, The Neuro?s Killam Seminar series hosts outstanding guest speakers whose research is of interest to our scientific community.

Communications Centre, The Neuro, 3801, University Street > > Registration Required > Abstract: Understanding how the cerebral cortex transforms distinct sources of information into cohesive experiences requires knowledge of how functional integration emerges from cortical structure. Insights into functional processing streams indicate that cortical areas are arranged stepwise, representing functional gradients along the cortical surface. Having been largely restricted to describing processing within specific sensory modalities, how do these principles generalize and extend to the surrounding association cortex? Building on recent work characterizing a principal axis of cortical organization, I will present a line of research that investigates the role of cortical geometry in enabling convergence across distinct modalities. By describing how the spatial layout of the cerebral cortex shapes its function, this line of research proposes a framework for understanding structural constraints that contribute to the integrated nature of cognition. > > The Killam Seminar Series at The Neuro > Supported by the generosity of the Killam Trusts, The Neuro?s Killam Seminar series hosts outstanding guest speakers whose research is of interest to our scientific community. > > Visit the event web page for more information. > > Contact: Justin Martinez-Rosler ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
