SUMMARY:Maps\, Minds and Maths
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Petra Vertes (University of Cambridge)\n \nSummary
 : The last 20 years have witnessed extraordinarily rapid progress in neuro
 science\, including breakthrough technologies such as optogenetics and the
  collection of unprecedented amounts of neuroimaging\, genetic and other d
 ata. However\, the translation of this progress into improved understandin
 g and treatment of mental health symptoms has been comparatively slow. One
  central challenge has been to reconcile different scales of investigation
 \, from genes and molecules to cells\, circuits\, tissue\, whole-brain and
  ultimately behaviour. In this talk I will describe several strands of wor
 k using mathematical\, statistical\, and bioinformatic methods to bridge t
 hese gaps. First\, I will describe my work on linking neuroimaging data to
  the Allen Brain Atlas (a brain-wide\, whole-genome map of gene expression
 ) and how we are can apply these tools in the nascent field of imaging tra
 nscriptomics to further our understanding of schizophrenia and other neuro
 psychiatric disorders. Next\, I will discuss parallel efforts for using ne
 twork science and control theory for linking microscopic function (ie the 
 role of individual cells) to large-scale behaviour in C elegans.
