    Mapping Functional Connectivity in the Brain presetned by Gulgun Sengul, MD

    Friday, December 20, 2024

    12:00pm Eastern time

    This is session 2 of a 3-part series. You may register for only one session

    or both remaining sessions.

    Instructor:  Gulgun Sengul, MD

    Course Description: 

    Understanding the intricate network of connections within the human brain is essential for unraveling the complexities of neural function and dysfunction. These connections, known as functional connectivity, refer to the temporal correlation between spatially remote neurophysiological events, reflecting how different regions of the brain communicate and coordinate to perform various tasks. Mapping these connections allows researchers to visualize and quantify the dynamic interactions that underlie cognitive processes, sensory perception, and motor functions.


    This presentation, titled "Mapping Functional Connectivity in the Brain," aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the methodologies and implications of studying functional connectivity. We will delve into the techniques used to measure and analyze these connections, and discuss their significance in both healthy brain function and in the context of neurological and psychiatric disorders. By exploring how alterations in functional connectivity can lead to various pathologies, we will highlight the importance of this field in advancing our understanding of the brain and developing targeted interventions.

    Fees: EACH webinar is $45.00 for all ISNR members. The fee for non-members is $60.00. Student fee is $15 with proof of student status.

    Disruptions in Functional Connectivity in Neurological Disorders

    Friday, January 24, 2024

    12:00pm Eastern time

    Instructor:  Gulgun Sengul, MD

    Course Description: 

    Functional connectivity, the study of how different regions of the brain communicate and coordinate their activity, is essential for understanding the brain's complex network dynamics. These neural networks enable the brain to process information efficiently, regulate behavior, and maintain cognitive functions. Disruptions in these networks can lead to significant impairments, affecting an individual’s ability to think, feel, and move. Such disruptions are often at the core of various neurological and psychiatric disorders, resulting in altered cognitive, sensory, and motor functions.


    In neurological disorders, functional connectivity disruptions can manifest as weakened, hyperactive, or completely misrouted connections between brain regions. These alterations can arise from a variety of causes, including structural damage, neurotransmitter imbalances, and genetic anomalies. Understanding these disruptions is crucial for developing targeted treatments and improving patient outcomes. This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how functional connectivity is altered in several key neurological disorders. We will delve into the underlying mechanisms that cause these disruptions, such as changes in synaptic plasticity, neuroinflammation, and neural degeneration. Additionally, we will explore the potential clinical implications of these findings, including how they can inform diagnostic strategies, therapeutic interventions, and prognostic assessments.

    Fees: EACH webinar is $45.00 for all ISNR members. The fee for non-members is $60.00. Student fee is $15 with proof of student status.

    ISNR member DISCOUNT for all three webinars: If you register for all three sessions, you only pay $99 (a savings of $36). To receive the discount for the third session, register for sessions 1 and 2, then email office@isnr.org to obtain the discount code for the third session.
