DESCRIPTION:The brain's structural connectome is organized to support effic
 ient control of state transitions\n\nDanielle Bassett\, University of Penn

 /j/85428056343\n\nAbstract: The human brain is a complex organ characteriz
 ed by heterogeneous patterns of interconnections. Non-invasive imaging tec
 hniques now allow for these patterns to be carefully and comprehensively m
 apped in individual humans\, paving the way for a better understanding of 
 how wiring supports cognitive processes. While a large body of work now fo
 cuses on descriptive statistics to characterize these wiring patterns\, a 
 critical open question lies in how the organization of these networks cons
 trains the potential repertoire of brain dynamics. In this talk\, I will d
 escribe an approach for understanding how perturbations to brain dynamics 
 propagate through complex wiring patterns\, driving the brain into new sta
 tes of activity. Drawing on a range of disciplinary tools – from graph the
 ory to network control theory and optimization – I will identify control p
 oints in brain networks and characterize trajectories of brain activity st
 ates following perturbation to those points. Finally\, I will describe how
  these computational tools and approaches can be used to better understand
  the brain's intrinsic control mechanisms and their alterations in psychia
 tric conditions.\n
