Brain connectivity

Research Works

Principal investigator : Jan Patrick Stellmann

MRI has proven to be a valuable technique for studying non-invasively the architectures of structural connections and functional interactions between anatomical regions in the brain. Beyond the cortex, subcortical nuclei have traditionally been less accessible due to their smaller size. UHF MRI allows to bridge this gap and better investigate the connectivity of the amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus, brainstem, cerebellum with the rest of the brain, but also between their own different nuclei. We plan to analyze the empirical correlations between SC and FC in healthy controls and create a combined SC/FC healthy subject high-resolution database at 7T to share with the scientific community
