Near-Future Systems and Technology Creation Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores the higher-order brain functions that emerge when brain regions connect with one another, and the disorders that arise when those functions are disrupted.
AboutAbout the lab
The brain works only when its regions are connected.
The brain cannot function with a single region alone; the functions of individual regions must be integrated through the circuits formed among them.
The lab studies the higher-order brain functions that arise when the functions of brain regions are integrated, and the mechanisms behind the symptoms that appear when they are disrupted, with the goal of leading to improved symptoms.
Key terms
- Higher-order brain function
- Complex functions carried out by the brain, such as language, memory, attention, and judgment
- 7-tesla MRI
- An MRI that uses a stronger magnetic field than the MRI scanners in ordinary hospitals, allowing detailed imaging of the brain and other organs
- PET
- Positron emission tomography, an examination that images the distribution of a drug introduced into the body in order to visualize organ function
ResearchResearch themes
Research indicates that when brain regions are linked in networks, they may achieve functions beyond those of each region on its own.
