Biographie

Je suis professeur agrégé au Département de psychologie de l'Université de Montréal et chercheur principal du Laboratoire de simulation cérébrale et d'exploration (SIMEXP) de l'Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal (CRIUGM). Je me suis joint récemment à Mila – Institut québécois d'intelligence artificielle en tant que membre affilié et je supervise des étudiant·e·s en informatique (neurosciences computationnelles cognitives) au Département d’informatique et de recherche opérationnelle (DIRO) de l'Université de Montréal. Mes travaux de recherche consistent principalement à entraîner des réseaux neuronaux artificiels afin de reproduire conjointement l'activité cérébrale et le comportement individuel humain. Pour atteindre cet objectif, je dirige un effort intensif de collecte de données individuelles en neuro-imagerie (IRM fonctionnelle, magnétoencéphalographie) : le projet Courtois sur la modélisation neuronale (CNeuroMod). Je suis en outre chercheur-boursier sénior du Fonds de recherche du Québec - Santé (FRQS), membre de l'Alliance québécoise pour l'unification des neurosciences et de l'IA (UNIQUE) et directeur scientifique de l'Unité de neuro-imagerie fonctionnelle (UNF) du CRIUGM.

Our understanding of the changes in functional brain organization in autism is hampered by the extensive heterogeneity that characterizes th… (voir plus)is neurodevelopmental disorder. Data driven clustering offers a straightforward way to decompose autism heterogeneity into subtypes of connectivity and promises an unbiased framework to investigate behavioral symptoms and causative genetic factors. Yet, the robustness and generalizability of functional connectivity subtypes is unknown. Here, we show that a simple hierarchical cluster analysis can robustly relate a given individual and brain network to a connectivity subtype, but that continuous assignments are more robust than discrete ones. We also found that functional connectivity subtypes are moderately associated with the clinical diagnosis of autism, and these associations generalize to independent replication data. We explored systematically 18 different brain networks as we expected them to associate with different behavioral profiles as well as different key regions. Contrary to this prediction, autism functional connectivity subtypes converged on a common topography across different networks, consistent with a compression of the primary gradient of functional brain organization, as previously reported in the literature. Our results support the use of data driven clustering as a reliable data dimensionality reduction technique, where any given dimension only associates moderately with clinical manifestations.

16p11.2 and 22q11.2 Copy Number Variants (CNVs) confer high risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), schizophrenia (SZ), and Attention-Defic… (voir plus)it-Hyperactivity-Disorder (ADHD), but their impact on functional connectivity (FC) remains unclear. We analyzed resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data from 101 CNV carriers, 755 individuals with idiopathic ASD, SZ, or ADHD and 1,072 controls. We used CNV FC-signatures to identify dimensions contributing to complex idiopathic conditions. CNVs had large mirror effects on FC at the global and regional level. Thalamus, somatomotor, and posterior insula regions played a critical role in dysconnectivity shared across deletions, duplications, idiopathic ASD, SZ but not ADHD. Individuals with higher similarity to deletion FC-signatures exhibited worse cognitive and behavioral symptoms. Deletion similarities identified at the connectivity level could be related to the redundant associations observed genome-wide between gene expression spatial patterns and FC-signatures. Results may explain why many CNVs affect a similar range of neuropsychiatric symptoms.
