Abstract
Interactions between different brain regions may be considered as being broadly of two types, cooperative or agonistic and competitive or antagonistic. Although these opposing types of interactions have been observed in many complex networks, the antagonistic interactions have often not been considered while characterizing human brain networks, giving an incomplete picture of how the brain functions as a whole. This studentship will use human functional neuroimaging data and novel computational approaches (structural balance theory and multilayer networks) to characterize the organization of functional brain networks in health, estimate whether they are heritable and are altered in diseases such as psychosis.
