Funded Activity Summary

Charting connectivity in the healthy and diseased brain. Australia's endemic mental health burden is predicted to escalate as its population ages. This project will: (1) endow medicine with a diagnostic capability enabling earlier and more-accurate diagnosis of brain disorders and mental illnesses; and, (2) pinpoint brain circuit disruptions telltale of particular diseases. This is a world-first and promises a scientific basis for new-generation therapies and treatments. This project will enable the APD to disseminate the specialist knowledge acquired as an ARC Fellow at Harvard in 2008 to Australian researchers, thereby advancing Australia's international standing in science.
