Services
We support collaborators by providing access to equipment as well as by assisting in the planning of experiments and in data acquisition, analysis and reporting, according to need.
The BRAIN Centre scientific team, together with researchers from the Neuroimaging and cognate departments, can help you solve complex problems in translational (preclinical<->clinical) neuroscience using state of the art equipment and expertise in the analysis of image & spectroscopy data, multimodal methods and statistics.
Applications
We specialize in neuroimaging applications and will help you generate and test hypotheses that will enhance and extend your research.
Core areas of interest:
- Neurodevelopment & myelination
- Neurodegeneration & dementia
- Plasticity, connectivity and sleep
- Pain and sensory processing
- Pharmacology and drug discovery
- Neuroinflammation, trauma and stroke
- Brain metabolism and neurovascular coupling
Our methodology and equipment can be used to support a diverse range of other applications for neuroscience as well as for other discipline areas (e.g. cardiac or liver MRI).
