DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the visi
 on of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972
 –1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks 
 will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, co
 gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis
 ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally
  and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo
 rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex
 changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive
  disorders.\n\n\nRegister for In-Person\n\nTo watch online\, click here\n
 \n\nModeling Adolescent Brain–Behaviour Systems\n\nAbstract: Adolescence i
 s a developmental period marked by substantial gains in cognitive ability 
 and increased risk for psychopathology. During this time\, physiological c
 hanges and environmental exposures jointly shape brain maturation and infl
 uence personality development\, collectively creating both opportunities f
 or cognitive growth and vulnerabilities to mental disorders. However\, the
  complexity of interactions among these factors has hindered an integrativ
 e understanding of adolescent brain–behaviour systems. In this talk\, Jiad
 ong Yan adopts a systems-level approach to adolescent development\, examin
 ing how environmental and genomic influences are reflected in brain matura
 tion\, how brain organization relates to cognitive ability\, and how cogni
 tion and personality contribute to mental health outcomes. Rather than emp
 hasizing any single factor\, he outlines a dynamic framework that highligh
 ts patterns emerging across these domains when considered jointly. From th
 is perspective\, developmental opportunities and risks are not fixed prope
 rties of individuals but arise from interactions within a developing brain
 –behaviour system over time.\n\nJiadong Yan\n\nPhD Candidate\, Integrated 
 Program in Neuroscience\, The Neuro\, ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ\n\nJiadong Yan is 
 a PhD candidate in the ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Centre for Integrative Neuroscience\, co-sup
 ervised by Prof. Alan Evans and Prof. Sherif Karama. His research focuses 
 on adolescent cognitive development and mental health. He previously compl
 eted a master’s degree in biomedical engineering at the University of Elec
 tronic Science and Technology of China under the supervision of Prof. Xi J
 iang\, identifying functional brain networks via deep learning techniques.
  He holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science.\n
