NEW DATE: From Data to Diagnosis: Computational Psychiatry and Brain Imaging in the Age of AI
–
NEW DATE: Computational psychiatry is reshaping our understanding of mental illness by integrating data-driven modeling with neurobiological insights. Andrew Michael, PhD, of Duke University examines the evolving role of brain imaging and AI in computational psychiatry, emphasizing their transformative promise, pitfalls, and path forward.
Strengthening Impact in Pediatric Hearing Health by Overcoming Barriers to Evidence-Based Care
–
Angela Shoup, PhD, executive director of the Callier Center for Communication Disorders, discusses how auditory access during infancy plays a vital role in shaping brain development and long-term cognitive functioning. Early and consistent exposure to sound supports the formation of neural pathways that enable speech perception, language growth, learning, and social emotional development.
MRI Biomarkers for Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
–
Brain imaging provides an important opportunity for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring in vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). In this talk, Dr. Hanzhang Lu discusses a potential framework of biomarkers for the classification of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), specifically describing cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), an important physiological parameter of vascular health, as a candidate biomarker in small vessel disease related VCID.
