Using a wide range of imaging methods including structural, functional and metabolic imaging, we are able to study how factors such as brain morphology, white matter structure, functional connectivity, cerebral perfusion and specific metabolites play a role in disease etiology and progression. Current research areas include the study of stroke and stroke rehabilitation, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, dementia, schizophrenia, and cognitive functions of breast cancer patients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neuroscience The brain is unarguably the most complex organ in the human body.
