DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mark Halko will present. \n\nRegistration via Eventbrite.\n
 \nLivestreaming via Vimeo. \n\nSpeaker: Mark Halko\, Ph.D.\n\nAssistant Pr
 ofessor of Psychiatry\, Harvard Medical School\, USA\n\nNeuroscientist\, M
 cLean Hospital\n\nAbstract: The human neuroscience explosion has led to la
 rge scale discoveries in the organization\, function and dynamics of the b
 rain\, yet these discoveries have yet to directly impact patient well-bein
 g. Recent discoveries using resting-state imaging have revealed sufficient
 ly reliable measures of the organization of the human brain into functiona
 l brain networks\, and in so doing simplified the collection of data that 
 can speak to the prediction of behavior associated with mental illness and
  how they relate to symptoms of mental illness. Typically\, these predicti
 ons are performed across subjects\, by examining how these circuits explai
 n variance in behavior and symptoms. We have shown that these functional b
 rain networks can be modified with specifically targeted non-invasive brai
 n stimulation. These experiments serve as a unique basic human neuroscienc
 e test-bed for therapeutically minded questions\, by specifically examinin
 g how change in these networks leads to change in behavior. With single se
 ssions\, network dynamics can be used to evaluate the effects of non-motor
  system targeted TMS\, and can be used to predict responses. Because this 
 approach is directly translatable to patient populations\, we can show tha
 t once a symptom-circuit is discovered in schizophrenia\, these same tools
  can be used over longer periods of time to induce long-term change in pat
 ient symptomology in schizophrenia\, with validation of the target brain n
 etwork change. Thus\, our work shows that the gap between what we know abo
 ut the brain and what we can offer to patients can be rapidly closed with 
 today’s technology\, and hopefully inspiring development of improved netwo
 rk-targeted therapeutic intervention to help patients today.\n\n\nThe Fein
 del Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision of
  Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984
 )\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will 
 highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, cogniti
 ve neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientists fr
 om across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and 
 from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum f
 or scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchang
 es on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive diso
 rders.\n
