DESCRIPTION:The human brain network represents an efficient communication 
 network. In my talk\, I will highlight recent advances in the field of mic
 ro- and macroscale system level connectomics and discuss theories of under
 lying 'principles of wiring' that may govern connectome organization and s
 hape cognition\, functional brain specialization and diversity. We will di
 scuss how proposed organisational principles may be shared across species 
 (including humans)\, such as cost-effective wiring\, short communication r
 elays\, and network features that enable functional integration such as co
 mmunication hubs. We will discuss these principles in light of individual 
 and cross-species variation in behavior and cognition and discuss findings
  of studies that suggest that modifications in brain connectivity may have
  played an important role in recent evolution of human cognition as well a
 s may play an important role in a wide range of neurological and neuropsyc
 hiatric conditions.
