DESCRIPTION:Dr. Urs Braun presents\, 'Network neuroscience in psychiatry – 
 linking genes\, molecules and brain imaging'.\n\nRegistration via Eventbri
 te.\n\nLivestreaming via Vimeo. \n\nSpeaker: Urs Braun\, Ph.D.\n\nCentral 
 Institute of Mental Health\, Medical Faculty Mannheim\, University of Heid
 elberg\, Germany\n\nAbstract: Network neuroscience approaches have greatly
  contributed to establishing the view of mental disorders as dysfunctions 
 of distributed circuits and networks\, providing a biologically meaningful
  way of mapping large-scale abnormalities in the architecture of brain net
 works. However\, traditional network approaches in brain imaging are rathe
 r descriptive\, often failing to identify pathophysiological mechanisms th
 at link system-level phenomena to the multiple hierarchies of brain functi
 on\, including gene and neurotransmitter systems.\n\nIn my talk\, I will s
 hortly review the evolving concepts of brain network dysfunction in clinic
 al populations\, concentrating on schizophrenia as an example. I will disc
 uss the benefits and limitation of traditional approaches and provide exam
 ples of how novel network tools can - in combination with pharmacological 
 imaging and genetic analyses - address some of the challenges and can help
  pave the way for a more integrated understanding of brain dysfunction in 
 mental disorders.\n\nBio: Urs Braun received a M.D. (2004) from the Univer
 sity of Freiburg. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of He
 idelberg (2013–2016) and the University of Pennsylvania (2015 & 2019) and 
 completed his psychiatric residency at the Central Institute of Mental Hea
 lth\, Mannheim in 2018. Currently\, he heads the research group Complex Sy
 stem in Psychiatry at the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim.
 \n\nHis lab focuses on applying novel methods derived from complex system 
 theory and network neuroscience to tackle scientific questions at the inte
 rsection of psychiatry\, neurobiology and social science. The lab uses and
  develops tools including multimodal neuroimaging\, ambulatory assessment\
 , genetics and psychopharmacology to study functional and structural brain
  networks and their perturbation in mental disorders\, neuromodulatory tra
 nsmitter systems (especially dopamine) and their influence on cognitive pr
 ocesses and has recently developed an interest in meta-scientific analysis
  of psychiatric research collaborations\, publications and (historical) de
 velopment of psychiatric ideas and topics.\n\n\nThe Feindel Virtual Brain 
 and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision of Dr. William Feind
 el (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984)\, to constantly 
 bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the late
 st advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, cognitive neuroscience\, 
 and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientists from across The Neur
 o\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the wo
 rld. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and 
 trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanis
 ms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders.\n
