brainAt the Brain Imaging Research Center we strive to conduct impactful research with integrity and transparency, valuing peer collaboration and community involvement. Our work contributes to the emerging understanding of the brain’s complicated relationship with human behavior. In this pursuit we utilize state-of-the-art imaging technology and a neural network processing approach. We explore brain mechanisms behind mental illness, searching for novel insights into causes of brain-related illnesses like depression and drug addiction, and the mechanisms of treatment response.
