Abstract: Dr. Bernhardt talk will overview new resources, tools, and analytics to study the human brain across multiple spatial scales. He will illustrate how these approaches can help to understand the functional organization of specific regions, such as the hippocampus, and the role of large-scale systems, such as the default mode network, in the human brain.
Bio: Boris Bernhardt is Associate Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery and a Canada Research Chair at the Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. His lab studies the role of structural and functional network organization in human cognition in neurotypical individuals and populations with atypical brain development, notably people with epilepsy and autism. To this end, they develop neuroinformatics approaches that integrate connectome models with multimodal neuroimaging, histology, and transcriptomics techniques.
