SUMMARY:Rutgers Network Neuroscience Interest Group: Christopher Lynn\, PhD (Yale University)
DESCRIPTION:“Quantifying the compressibility of the human brain”\nSpeaker: Christopher Lynn\, PhD\nAssistant Professor of Physics\, Wu Tsai Institute\, Yale University \nDate and Time: Friday\, July 31 at 1:00 PM \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/7497180605?pwd=ZHEEETfi2aCY8bfOPKAo27P0PBKlHZ.1 \nIn-Person: SRB seminar room \nSummary: In the human brain\, the allowed patterns of activity are constrained by the correlations between brain regions. Yet it remains unclear which correlations—and how many—are needed to predict large-scale neural activity. Here\, we present an information-theoretic framework to identify the most important correlations\, which provide the most accurate predictions of neural states. Applying our framework to cortical activity in humans\, we find that the vast majority of variance in activity is explained by a small number of correlations. This means that the brain is highly compressible: Only a sparse network of correlations is needed to predict large-scale activity. We find that this compressibility is strikingly consistent across different individuals and cognitive tasks and that\, counterintuitively\, the most important correlations are not necessarily the strongest. Together\, these results suggest that nearly all correlations are not needed to predict neural activity\, and we provide the tools to uncover the key correlations that are.

SUMMARY:Rutgers Network Neuroscience Interest Group: Maria Grazia Puxeddu\, PhD (Virginia Tech)
DESCRIPTION:“Linking network architecture to function and behavior across scales: from human brain dynamics to Drosophila circuits”\nSpeaker: Maria Grazia Puxeddu\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\, School of Neuroscience\nVirginia Tech \nDate and Time: Friday\, June 26\, at 1:00 PM \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/my/lp756?pwd=Y3Q1NTNGTFJibHpYcUUwYUNaaFg5UT09 \nIn-Person: SRB seminar room \nSummary: Network neuroscience has been highly successful in describing brain organization in terms of modules\, hubs\, and pathways. Its next challenge is explanatory: understanding how the described architecture underlies brain function\, behavior\, and disease. In this talk\, I will present two lines of work that address this challenge at different scales. The first uses multivariate information theory to define brain modules through patterns of higher order redundant and synergistic interactions. This framework reveals how the balance between within-module redundancy and between-module synergy reorganizes across the human lifespan and\, in ongoing work\, across the progression of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. The second turns to the Drosophila brain\, where circuit architecture\, neural activity\, and behavior can all be measured directly. I will describe ongoing work characterizing the network role of distinct thermosensory neurons and how it can be used to predict neural function and behavior. Together\, these projects suggest that network architecture\, more than the conventional classification of brain regions and neurons into systems and cell types\, provides a fundamental substrate for understanding brain function\, behavior\, and their disruption in disease.

SUMMARY:CCNP Seminar: Alex Shackman\, PhD (University of Maryland)
DESCRIPTION:“The Nature and the Neurobiology of Anxiety”\nSpeaker: Alexander Shackman\, PhD\nProfessor\, Department of Psychology\, University of Maryland \nDate and Time: Wednesday\, June 17\, 2026\, 10-11 AM \nZoom: https://princeton.zoom.us/j/6397147065 \nAbstract: Anxiety—widely conceptualized as a sustained state of heightened distress and arousal triggered by uncertain threat—is a fundamental aspect of mammalian experience and a key component of the National Institute of Mental Health’s influential RDoC framework. When extreme or pervasive\, anxiety imposes a staggering burden on patients\, public health\, and the global economy. Existing treatments are far from curative for many\, underscoring the urgency of developing a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Here\, I will highlight data gleaned from studies of humans and monkeys. Using a combination of approaches—from genetic assays and loss-of-function experiments to ecological momentary assessment and computational neuroimaging—this work provides fresh insights into the nature and the neurobiology of anxiety-related states\, traits\, and psychiatric disorders.

SUMMARY:CCNP Seminar: Christopher Rozell\, PhD (Georgia Institute of Technology)
DESCRIPTION:“Brain Biomarkers for Understanding Depression Recovery with Deep Brain Stimulation”\nSpeaker: Christopher Rozell\nProfessor\, Executive Director of Institute for Neuroscience\, Neurotechnology & Society (INNS)\nDepartment of Electrical & Computer Engineering\nGeorgia Institute of Technology \nSimultaneous advances in neurotechnology and data science have created new opportunities to measure\, modulate and understand the neural activity underlying complex psychiatric disorders such as treatment resistant depression (TRD). Despite promising explorations of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a therapy for TRD\, one of the barriers to scaling this treatment is the lack of objective information supporting clinical decision making during recovery. I will describe our recent efforts collecting and analyzing longitudinal intracranial electrophysiology data from TRD patients undergoing subcallosal cingulate cortex (SCC) DBS\, as well as our development of novel AI techniques to identify electrophysiology biomarkers of disease recovery state. Finally\, I will show how this data-driven biomarker can potentially be used in clinical decision support through patient case studies\, as well as shed light on the microcircuit structures and complex behaviors that underly TRD pathology and recovery. \nDate and Time: Wednesday\, June 3rd\, 10-11am EDT (Eastern)\nZoom: https://princeton.zoom.us/j/6397147065 \nFYI\, abstracts for previous talks are posted on the CCNP website: ccnp.princeton.edu. A list of upcoming seminars\, job announcements\, and other info about CCNP are available there as well.

SUMMARY:Rutgers Network Neuroscience Interest Group: Lucina Uddin\, PhD (University of California\, Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:“Towards a universal taxonomy of functional brain networks”\nSpeaker: Lucina Uddin\, PhD\nProfessor\, Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences University of California\, Los Angeles \nDate and Time: Friday\, May 29\, at 1:00 PM \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/my/lp756?pwd=Y3Q1NTNNGTFJibHpYcUUwYUNaaFg5UT09 \nIn-Person: SRB seminar room \nAbstract: While the idea that the human brain is composed of multiple large functional networks has been gaining traction in cognitive and network neuroscience\, the field has yet to reach consensus on several key issues regarding terminology. What constitutes a functional brain network? Are there “core” functional networks\, and if so\, what are their spatial topographies? What naming conventions\, if universally adopted\, will provide the most utility and facilitate communication amongst researchers? Can a taxonomy of functional brain networks be delineated? The Workgroup for HArmonized Taxonomy of NETworks (WHATNET) was formed in 2020 as an OHBM–endorsed best practices committee to provide recommendations on points of consensus\, identify open questions\, and highlight areas of ongoing debate in the service of moving the field toward standardized reporting of network neuroscience results. The group has developed a Network Correspondence Toolbox (NCT) to permit researchers to examine and report spatial correspondence between their novel neuroimaging results and multiple widely used functional brain atlases. The adoption of the NCT will make it easier for researchers to report their findings in a standardized manner\, thus aiding reproducibility and facilitating comparisons between studies to produce interdisciplinary insights. \nThe interest group is sponsored by Center for Advanced Human Brain Imaging Research (CAHBIR) and the Cognitive And Sensory Neuroscience Focus Area Working Group of the BHI. \nIf you have questions about the interest group\, please email Dr. Linden Parkes linden.parkes@rutgers.edu or Dr. David Zald david.zald@rutgers.edu

SUMMARY:CCNP Seminar: Vanessa Brown (Emory University)
DESCRIPTION:Anxiety is distinctly associated with maladaptive exploration of uncertainty\nSpeaker: Vanessa Brown\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Psychology\, Emory University \nDate and Time: Wednesday\, May 20th\, 10-11 am EDT (Eastern) \nZoom: https://princeton.zoom.us/j/6397147065 \nAvoidance is a central impairment in anxiety disorders\, but what causes maladaptive avoidance in this population is unclear. To date\, empirical data suggest that the uncertainty associated with negative outcomes\, rather than the presence of negative outcomes alone\, drives avoidance in anxiety. Here\, we used the explore-exploit dilemma – whether to explore options with uncertain options versus stay with known choices with certain options – to understand how exploration goes awry in anxiety and leads to avoidance. Across two tasks\, we did not find an overall avoidance of uncertainty\, manifesting as increased exploitation\, in anxiety. Instead\, people with anxiety were unable to adaptively adjust exploration\, under-exploring when exploration was adaptive and over-exploring when exploration was harmful. This impairment was specific to anxiety and not to depression or general internalizing symptoms. In a follow-up study\, we tested whether this maladaptive exploration of uncertainty was distinct from previously established alterations in model-based decision-making in compulsivity. Anxiety was associated with increased model-based planning while compulsivity showed patterns of exploratory behavior distinct from anxiety. These results show a computational dissociation of exploratory behavior among internalizing symptom clusters and suggest that maladaptive exploration of uncertainty is a unique signature of anxiety-related disorders. \nFYI\, abstracts for previous talks are posted on the CCNP website: ccnp.princeton.edu.

SUMMARY:Neuroscience Seminar Series for Rising Scholars (Hybrid): Sunyoung Park\, PhD (Noelle Stiles lab)
DESCRIPTION:“Functional changes in visual areas during imagination in the blind following vision restoration”\nSpeaker: Sunyoung Park\, PhD\, Postdoctoral Scholar\, PI: Noelle Stiles \nDate and Time: Monday\, May 18\, 2026\, 12:00 PM \nIn-Person: Room 127\, Staged Research Building (SRB)\, Busch Campus \nJoin via Zoom: Please email the host\, Dr. Noelle Stiles (noelle.stiles@rutgers.edu)\, or check the CAHBIR Slack #General thread for the link \nAbstract: The Argus II retinal prosthesis can restore ultra-low vision in the late blind through electrical stimulation of ganglion cells. Our previous study showed that cortical thickness increases following the Argus II device implantation in visual areas\, such as cuneus cortex and lateral occipital cortex\, suggesting partial reversal of visual cortex atrophy associated with long-term vision loss. However\, it remains unclear whether these structural changes are accompanied by increased functional engagement of visual areas during visual tasks. Here\, we investigated changes in visual cortex activation during a visual imagery task using fMRI in ten Argus II patients\, four blind controls\, and three sighted controls. The visual imagery task was used as it has been shown to functionally engage visual areas and the Argus II device cannot be activated inside the scanner. During the task\, participants alternated between imagination blocks in which they imagined visual objects or places\, and rest blocks in which they did not perform a task. We extracted task-related univariate activations (imagination > rest) from anatomically defined visual regions of interests (ROIs). On average\, the Argus II group showed greater activation than the blind control group\, approaching but not fully reaching the activation levels observed in sighted controls. In addition\, longitudinal comparisons in two participants revealed differing post-implantation patterns: The participant with longer device use (44.5 months) showed increased activation across most ROIs after implantation relative to pre-implantation\, whereas the participant with shorter device use (6.5 months) showed a mixture of increases and decreases across ROIs. These findings suggest that cortical re-engagement following vision restoration may evolve over time\, and that both upregulation and downregulation of task-relevant regions may contribute to functional reorganization after visual restoration. Together\, these results complement prior evidence of structural cortical changes by demonstrating functional changes in visual areas following vision restoration in late-blind individuals.
