DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the visi
 on 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\, co
 gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis
 ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally
  and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo
 rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex
 changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive
  disorders.\n\n\nTo watch virtually\, click here\n\n\nKatja Heuer\n\nPostd

 development of a complex brain is often assumed to result from genetic and
  activity-dependent processes. Our work explores to what extent a third fa
 ctor – mechanical morphogenesis – can also play a causal role in shaping t
 he development and evolution of the brain. We call mechanical morphogenesi
 s the process leading to the emergence of complex forms in living and non-
 living matter as a result of growth. Using multimodal imaging data from ma
 ny primate species across the phylogenetic tree\, we study the emergence o
 f brain organisation at multiple levels: the changes of the cerebral surfa
 ce\, cortical thickness patterns\, and cortico-cortical connectivity. Our 
 results suggest that mechanical morphogenesis could have a causal role in 
 the formation of brain folding patterns\, regional differences and connect
 ions. Finally\, we show evidence that the same mechanical processes which 
 shape the landscape of brain folds and connections could also influence co
 gnitive behaviour.\n
