The Human Connectome Project has opened up opportunities to navigate and examine the human brain like never before, but does it really have the potential to cure diseases such as autism, anxiety, and Alzheimer's? Check out our latest video, Cartographers of the Brain: Mapping the Connectome, and join renowned neuroscientists and psychologists for a riveting exploration of the living human brain.
Imagine navigating the globe with a map that only sketched out the continents. That’s pretty much how neuroscientists have been operating for decades. But one of the most ambitious programs in all of neuroscience, the Human Connectome Project, has just yielded a “network map” that is shedding light on the intricate connectivity in the brain. Join leading neuroscientists and psychologists as they explore how the connectome promises to revolutionize treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders, answer profound questions regarding the electrochemical roots of memory and behavior, and clarify the link between our upbringing and brain development.
As a follow-up to Cartographers of the Brain, developmental neurobiologist Jeff Lichtman will be joining us LIVE on April 11 at 11:00 AM EDT to continue the discussion and answer viewers' questions.
