DESCRIPTION:A neat feature of connected systems is how they are easily con
 ceptualized as networks: simple mathematical abstractions whose properties
  can succinctly tell us plenty about whichever system they are describing.
  This approach lends itself beautifully to the characterization of human b
 rain structure and function\, where brain regions are taken as network nod
 es\, and the time varying dependencies in activity (or physical connection
 s) between them as edges. \n\nIn this talk I will start by briefly sharing
  some of the most important ideas we have learnt about ‘brain networks
 ’ in the last two decades and what they tell us about the otherwise intr
 actable nature of the nervous system. I will then elaborate on newer techn
 iques aiming to understand why brain networks look the way they look\, how
  they evolve across the first few decades of life\, and what this might te
 ll us about the emergence of mental ill-health.
