Fragility of the human connectome across the lifespan

Leonardo Gollo and James Pang
Monash Biomedical Imaging
May 12, 2021

The human brain network architecture can reveal crucial aspects of brain function and dysfunction. The topology of this network (known as the connectome) is shaped by a trade-off between wiring cost and network efficiency, and it has highly connected hub regions playing a prominent role in many brain disorders. By studying a landscape of plausible brain networks that preserve the wiring cost, fragile and resilient hubs can be identified. In this webinar, Dr Leonardo Gollo and Dr James Pang from Monash University will discuss this approach across the lifespan and some of its implications for neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. Dr Leonardo Gollo is a Senior Research Fellow at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, School of Psychological Sciences, Monash University. He holds an ARC Future Fellowship and his research interests include brain modelling, systems neuroscience, and connectomics. Dr James Pang is a Research Fellow at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, School of Psychological Sciences, Monash University. His research interests are on combining neuroimaging and biophysical modelling to better understand the mechanisms of brain function in health and disease.
