Projects in this area are concerned with the application of advanced imaging and analysis tools to investigate the neural bases of brain disorders. They focus on various diseases modeled in animals and human patient populations, along with normal animal and human investigation of sensory, affective, and cognitive processes.
- Animal to Human translational work
- Schizophrenia Model in Rodents (JP Yu)
- Stroke Work in Animal Model (Charles Strothers)
- Nonhuman Primates Model of Working Memory/Attention (Luis Populin*)
- Nonhuman Primates Model of Effect of Anesthesia on the Brain (Chris Ikonomidou)
- Disease connectome biomarkers for brain-behavioral correlations, prognostics, and tracking changes in various diseases:
- Stroke (Vivek Prabhakaran)
- Pediatric Epilepsy (Bruce Hermann*)
- Adult Epilepsy Connectome (Beth Meyerand , Bruce Hermann, Vivek Prabhakaran)
- Traumatic Brain Injury (Alison Brooks*, Mitch Tyler*)
- Alzheimer’s Disease (Sterling Johnson, Barbara Bendlin, Vivek Prabhakaran)
- Multiple Sclerosis (Aaron Field)
- Delirium (Robert Sanders*)
- Spine Imaging (Victor Haughton, Alison Grayev)
- Swallowing studies in various patient populations (JoAnne Robbins*)
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease & Cognition (Sumona Saha*)
- Carotid studies using Ultrasound & Cognition (Dempsey*, Tomy Varghese)
- Brain Tumor Diagnosis/Rx using Tumor Targeting Agent (Lance Hall, Weichert, Kuo)
