Title 2: Towards developmental connectomics of the human brain

Speaker 2: Dr. Miao Cao

          Beijing Normal University

Abstract:

The human brain undergoes rapid growth in both structure and function during the development, and this significantly influences cognitive and behavioral in life. A newly emerging research framework, developmental connectomics, provides unprecedented opportunities for exploring the developing brain through non-invasive mapping of structural and functional connectivity patterns. Within this framework, we delineated both the normal and abnormal brain development from a connectomics perspective. Across the lifespan, we conclude that the strengthened segregation, a remarkable hierarchical order from primary to higher-order regions, and substantial individual variability during the early stage of life, as well as inverted U-shaped development of integration and segregation in late development and aging.
