Degenerating Networks: Functional Connectivity in Neurodegenerative Tauopathies

Abstract
Research in neurodegenerative disease is in desperate need of a biomarker linking pathology with clinical syndromes. Network analysis of functional connectivity may play a role in this endeavour. This talk covers some preliminary analysis of network changes in progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration, two diseases associated with aggregation of ‘tau’ protein in the brain. In addition, I will present modelled data examining potential pathological pathways to understand how they might change network graph theory metrics.
Series This talk is part of the Brain Mapping Unit Networks Meeting and the Cambridge Connectome Consortium series.
