Lab Alumni

     We are fortunate to have a number of gifted individuals who have worked with us on neuroimaging studies of schizophrenia and schizophrenia related disorders. Individuals prior to 2005 were part of the Clinical Neuroscience Division (Directed by Dr. Martha Shenton) of the Laboratory of Neuroscience (Directed by Dr. Robert McCarley). In October 2005, the Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory was established and we include past members of the Clinical Neuroscience Division, Laboratory of Neuroscience in our list of alums. The two laboratories share personnel, resources, and most importantly, science.
