Generative models of the human connectome

Prof Alex Fornito and Dr Stuart Oldham
Jun 10, 2021

The human brain is a complex network of neuronal connections. The precise arrangement of these connections, otherwise known as the topology of the network, is crucial to its functioning. Recent efforts to understand how the complex topology of the brain has emerged have used generative mathematical models, which grow synthetic networks according to specific wiring rules. Evidence suggests that a wiring rule which emulates a trade-off between connection costs and functional benefits can produce networks that capture essential topological properties of brain networks. In this webinar, Professor Alex Fornito and Dr Stuart Oldham will discuss these previous findings, as well as their own efforts in creating more physiologically constrained generative models. Professor Alex Fornito is Head of the Brain Mapping and Modelling Research Program at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health. His research focuses on developing new imaging techniques for mapping human brain connectivity and applying these methods to shed light on brain function in health and disease. Dr Stuart Oldham is a Research Fellow at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health and a Research Officer at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. He is interested in characterising the organisation of human brain networks, with particular focus on how this organisation develops, using neuroimaging and computational tools.
