Linda gave a keynote talk in Maastricht, at the Network Science Society’s annual meeting. By linking cellular, circuit, and whole-brain network data, she highlighted the work of the team showing how brain tumors act as network diseases, disrupting global connectivity and cognition.
Key insights:
🧠 Gliomas target hub regions—highly connected, vulnerable nodes in the brain network.
🔬 Multiscale network analyses reveal that macro network features align with cellular characteristics and tumor aggressiveness.
🛠️ Tools like virtual network neurosurgery and network-guided TMS show promise for personalized treatment.
🧩 Multilayer network models better explain individual differences in cognitive outcome and recovery.
These findings are part of our ongoing efforts toward precision medicine in neuro-oncology, blending systems neuroscience, clinical neurology, and computational modeling!
