From Brain Development and Reorganization to Reconstructing 77 Million Years of Brain Evolution

Explore a fascinating lecture on brain architecture, development, and evolution through the lens of advanced mathematical approaches like manifold learning. Delve into methods for understanding individual brain architecture variations, functional network reorganization during disease states, and human brain development patterns. Learn how geometric approaches enable the reconstruction of 77 million years of brain evolution using data from 90 living species. Examine the clinical implications of these insights for treatment decisions, the connections between brain areas and behavior, and the potential relationship between diverse cortical evolution patterns and human cognitive capabilities. Access supplementary materials including data, papers, code, and videos related to brain evolution through the Computational Imaging Research Lab website, and explore additional resources on brain development through their fetal research portal.
