Research Interests
Interrogating brain structure and mapping whole-brain connectivity
Together with exceptional colleagues in the Duke Center for In Vivo Microscopy, the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center, and the University of Pittsburgh, we are developing state-of-the-science magnetic resonance methods for interrogating brain structure in preclinical applications that are fully compatible with complimentary approaches, such as light sheet microscopy. These methods are combing to provide new insights into the microscopic structure of the brain, whole-brain connectivity (quantitative connectomics), and how the microscopic structure of neural tissue constrains connectivity and function in preclinical animal models of health and disease.
