His research examines large-scale brain network dynamics and their role in cognition. Currently, he is investigating the links between memory, attention, cognitive control, and social cognition and the interacting brain networks that support them. He is also actively involved in the development and implementation of novel multivariate statistical approaches to assess activity and interactivity of large scale brain networks. His work adopts a network neuroscience approach to investigating complex cognitive processes as they change across the lifespan, both in normal aging and brain disease.\u00a0 Loneliness emerges when one\u2019s need for interpersonal connection is unmet. Loneliness is a modifiable risk factor associated with poor mental and brain health across the lifespan. Over a series of studies examining the impact of loneliness on brain function, measured with resting-state functional connectivity, we have demonstrated that associations between self-reported loneliness and functional network organization changes over the adult life course. In early adulthood, higher levels of loneliness are associated with greater integration of visual regions with higher order association networks. From late middle-age and into older adulthood, this pattern shifts, with greater integration observed among higher order association networks and a relative isolation of the visual system. We hypothesize that these age-differences in network organization in the context of loneliness may reflect a shift from externally-oriented processing (e.g., perceiving negative social cues) in young, to more internally-oriented processing (e.g., reminiscing or mentalizing about social experiences) in the later decades of life. These findings raise the intriguing possibility that the phenomena of loneliness may be a qualitatively different experience depending upon age. I will conclude with new directions of research into the impact of loneliness on older adults at risk for Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Presenter bio:<\/strong> Dr. Nathan Spreng is a full professor and the director of the Laboratory of Brain and Cognition at the Montreal Neurological Institute in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University.
