Title of project:
The connectomics of Alzheimer’s risk: characterising brain temporal network dynamics in young adults
Proposal summary:
Using advanced imaging and novel mathematical approaches, we will identify spatio-temporal brain networks that show altered dynamics in young adults with genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease. The PhD will provide grounding in network neuroscience — an evolving field using network theories to study the brain across multiple scales and modalities.
Impact of research:
This research will advance our understanding of the effect of genotypes on brain temporal networks.
