DESCRIPTION:Martin Picard\, Columbia University\, New York\, USA\nThe basi
 s of the mind\, of mental states\, and complex behaviors is the flow of en
 ergy through microscopic and macroscopic brain structures. Energy flow thr
 ough brain circuits is powered by thousands of mitochondria populating the
  inside of every neuron\, glial\, and other nucleated cell across the brai
 n-body unit. This seminar will cover emerging approaches to study the mind
 -mitochondria connection and present early attempts to map the distributio
 n and diversity of mitochondria across brain tissue. In rodents\, I will p
 resent convergent multimodal evidence anchored in enzyme activities\, gene
  expression\, and animal behavior that distinct behaviorally-relevant mito
 chondrial phenotypes exist across large-scale mouse brain networks. Extend
 ing these findings to the human brain\, I will present a developing system
 atic biochemical and molecular map of mitochondrial variation across corti
 cal and subcortical brain structures\, representing a foundation to unders
 tand the origin of complex energy patterns that give rise to the human min
 d.\n
