Talk Title: Connectomic-Genetic Signatures of Human Brain Neurodegeneration

Abstract: Brain disorders are frequently linked to disrupted or atypical connectivity. However, our ability to decode these aberrant connectomic patterns and relate them to interpretable biological mechanisms remains limited. To address this gap, our lab has developed connectomic-genetic methodologies that have provided exciting new insights into the underlying features of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and Parkinson’s disease.
