Biographie

Danilo Bzdok est informaticien et médecin de formation. Il possède une double formation unique en neurosciences systémiques et en algorithmes d'apprentissage automatique. Après une formation à l'Université d'Aix-la-Chapelle (RWTH) (Allemagne), à l'Université de Lausanne (Suisse) et à la Harvard Medical School (États-Unis), il a obtenu un doctorat en neurosciences du Centre de recherche de Jülich (Allemagne) et un doctorat en informatique dans le domaine des statistiques d'apprentissage automatique à l'INRIA Saclay et à NeuroSpin (Paris, France). Il est actuellement professeur agrégé à la Faculté de médecine de l'Université McGill et titulaire d’une chaire en IA Canada-CIFAR à Mila – Institut québécois d'intelligence artificielle. Son activité de recherche interdisciplinaire est centrée sur la réduction des lacunes dans la connaissance des bases cérébrales des types de pensée qui définissent l'être humain, afin de découvrir les principes clés de conception computationnelle qui sous-tendent l'intelligence humaine.

Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias is a major public health burden – compounding over upcoming years due to longevity. Recently, … (voir plus)clinical evidence hinted at the experience of social isolation in expediting dementia onset. In 502,506 UK Biobank participants and 30,097 participants from the Canadian Longitudinal Study of Aging, we revisited traditional risk factors for developing dementia in the context of loneliness and lacking social support. Across these measures of subjective and objective social deprivation, we have identified strong links between individuals’ social capital and various indicators of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias risk, which replicated across both population cohorts. The quality and quantity of daily social encounters had deep connections with key aetiopathological factors, which represent 1) personal habits and lifestyle factors, 2) physical health, 3) mental health, and 4) societal and external factors. Our population-scale assessment suggest that social lifestyle determinants are linked to most neurodegeneration risk factors, highlighting them promising targets for preventive clinical action.

The intrinsic functional connectome can reveal how a lifetime of learning and lived experience is represented in the functional architecture… (voir plus) of the aging brain. We investigated whether network dedifferentiation, a hallmark of brain aging, reflects a global shift in network dynamics, or comprises network-specific changes that reflect the changing landscape of aging cognition. We implemented a novel multi-faceted strategy involving multi-echo fMRI acquisition and de-noising, individualized cortical parcellation, and multivariate (gradient and edge-level) functional connectivity methods. Twenty minutes of resting-state fMRI data and cognitive assessments were collected in younger (n=181) and older (n=120) adults. Dimensionality in the BOLD signal was lower for older adults, consistent with global network dedifferentiation. Functional connectivity gradients were largely age-invariant. In contrast, edge-level connectivity showed widespread changes with age, revealing discrete, network-specific dedifferentiation patterns. Visual and somatosensory regions were more integrated within the functional connectome; default and frontoparietal regions showed greater coupling; and the dorsal attention network was less differentiated from transmodal regions. Associations with cognition suggest that the formation and preservation of integrated, large-scale brain networks supports complex cognitive abilities. However, into older adulthood, the connectome is dominated by large-scale network disintegration, global dedifferentiation and network-specific dedifferentiation associated with age-related cognitive change.
Age differences in functional brain networks associated with loneliness and empathy

Abstract Loneliness is associated with differences in resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) within and between large-scale networks i… (voir plus)n early- and middle-aged adult cohorts. However, age-related changes in associations between sociality and brain function into late adulthood are not well understood. Here, we examined age differences in the association between two dimensions of sociality—loneliness and empathic responding—and RSFC of the cerebral cortex. Self-report measures of loneliness and empathy were inversely related across the entire sample of younger (mean age = 22.6y, n = 128) and older (mean age = 69.0y, n = 92) adults. Using multivariate analyses of multi-echo fMRI RSFC, we identified distinct functional connectivity patterns for individual and age group differences associated with loneliness and empathic responding. Loneliness in young and empathy in both age groups was related to greater visual network integration with association networks (e.g., default, fronto-parietal control). In contrast, loneliness was positively related to within- and between-network integration of association networks for older adults. These results extend our previous findings in early- and middle-aged cohorts, demonstrating that brain systems associated with loneliness, as well as empathy, differ in older age. Further, the findings suggest that these two aspects of social experience engage different neurocognitive processes across human life-span development.
