 Abstract: Invasive and noninvasive brain stimulation methods are applied t
 o focal points in the depth or on the surface of the brain. However\, thei
 r focal application leads to network effects that are distributed across t
 he entire brain. We can study network effects of focal brain stimulation b
 y pairing them with the human connectome. By doing so\, we may investigate
  which networks need to be stimulated to observe a specific effect. Moreov
 er\, we can use brain stimulation sites to segregate the human connectome 
 into functional networks\, each tied to specific behaviors\, clinical sign
 s or symptoms. One particularly useful method is deep brain stimulation\, 
 an invasive neurosurgical procedure that applies highly localized but stro
 ng stimulation signals onto specific subcortical areas. In this talk\, I w
 ill review connectomic effects of deep brain stimulation and other brain s
 timulation methods. We will cover results in diseases ranging from the mov
 ement disorders spectrum (Parkinson’s Disease\, Dystonia\, Essential Tremo
 r) to neuropsychiatric (Tourette’s & Alzheimer’s Disease) and psychiatric 
 (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder\, Depression) diseases. I will also demonst
 rate how findings in seemingly different diseases (such as Parkinson’s Dis
 ease and Depression) could be transferred to cross-inform one another and 
 how the same method can be used to study neurocognitive effects\, such as 
 risk-taking behavior or impulsivity\n
