DESCRIPTION:Prof Fatih Yanik\nBrain networks are disrupted in numerous dis
 orders. We first show that aberrant brain-wide activity patterns can be co
 rrected by targeting distinct network motifs with multiple neuromodulators
  using a zebrafish mutant model of human epilepsy and autism. This network
  based approach also improves behaviour unlike any other treatment. Using 
 rodent models\, we next demonstrate a non-invasive technology that can tar
 get brain networks with millimetre precision and molecular specificity by 
 1’300x focally enhanced drug delivery. Using this non-invaisve technolog
 y\, we target specifically mPFC circuits with anxiolytics to reduce anxiet
 y drastically without the usual motor side effects of systemic anxiolytics
 . Finally\, we will discuss large-scale recording technologies with 1-3k c
 hannel custom electronics and penetrating brain-wide soft-electrode arrays
 \, where we are able to track single units with year-long stability across
  multiple brain networks.
