Title: Structural connectome manifolds during neurodevelopment
Abstract:
Recent advances in neuroimaging acquisition and analysis techniques provide novel ways to assess brain networks in vivo, which has put systems neuroscience in an unprecedented position to understand macroscale neural organization, development, and disease. Here, I present novel approaches to model structural connectome data based on cutting edge manifold learning techniques that can capture gradients of macroscale neural organization. I will present recent works that show (1) how manifolds learning techniques applied to whole-brain diffusion MRI connectomes can identify smooth gradients of structural connectivity variations and how they can predict time-varying changes in neural function. I will furthermore show (2) how they can be used for tracking neurodevelopment and for the prediction of cognitive maturation during adolescence, and finally (3) how they can index connectome-level perturbations in autism spectrum conditions, a prevalent and persistent condition of brain connectivity.
