Brain Connectivity and Networks

Mapping the ever-changing networks of the brain
Psychologists, engineers and biologists are working together to understand the brain through its small and large networks. Some model the brain’s networks via computers. Others are experts in physical measurements, through magnetic resonance imaging, electricity, light and brain stimulation.

Members of the Brain Connectivity and Networks work together to address the many challenges of network neuroscience, including technical and biological limitations. They’re developing new imaging and sensing methods and discovering how genetics, chemicals and one’s lifestyle affect neural communication underlying the brain’s function and health.
For example, this group’s members are working to understand how the brain’s networks affect depression and empower teen girls to understand their own emotions. They’re looking into the causes of tinnitus, a ringing in the ears that affects up to 50 million people in the U.S.
