About
The Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory and its members aim to use (and to develop) state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques to discover and to understand brain alterations in neuropsychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia) in order to identify new approaches and targets for early intervention, and ultimately prevention of severe mental illness and other neuropsychiatric disorders.
Mission
The main mission of the Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory (PNL) is to understand brain abnormalities, both structural and functional, and their role in neuropsychiatric disorders. Members of the PNL have developed state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques for acquiring imaging data for harmonization of imaging data across sites, and for the processing and analyzing imaging data. With these advances the goal is to make neuropsychiatric disorders more tractable and thereby more amenable to diagnosis, to new treatments, and ultimately to prevention.
