In this episode of Sheba Science Dose, Dr. Abigail Livny-Ezer, PhD, Neuroscientist and Director of the Diagnostic Neuroimaging Laboratory at Sheba Medical Center, dives into the concept of the brain’s neural fingerprint. Through innovative neuroimaging techniques, Dr. Livny-Ezer and her team unveil the connectome, a comprehensive map detailing the intricate network of neuronal connections inside the brain. Utilizing cutting-edge MRI technology, Dr. Livny-Ezer builds both the structural and functional layers of the connectome. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, her team unveils patterns within these connectomes, identifying patterns in the mechanisms of various brain disorders.
With new ways of visualizing the brain’s unique fingerprint and its infinite connections we are revolutionizing personalized medicine and improving patient outcomes.
