Jil Mona Meier: Bringing computational connectomics to the clinic: network modeling of patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases

Berlin Institute of Health, Berlin

Abstract

During the colloquium, I am looking forward to explain some basics about network (neuro-)science, neural mass modeling and The Virtual Brain before we dive into two specific use cases: I will talk about (1) the network propagation study with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patients that has also been discussed during the journal club (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ana.25706) and about (2) virtual deep brain stimulation using the multiscale version of The Virtual Brain to forecast and optimize effects of neuromodulation for Parkinson’s disease patients (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014488622001364). I aim to show you the potential of such kind of computational connectome-based modeling approaches to be used in the clinical routine for optimizing treatment options in the near future. No previous knowledge of the mentioned topics is required.

 

Guests are welcome!
