Imaging the Human Brain Connectome and its application to Psychiatric Disorders.

长期以来，人脑一直被概念化为一个复杂的神经网络。这个网络的连接还没有得到充分的细节描述。只有最近成像技术的进步才使得可视化活着的大脑的网络结构成为可能。我的研究重点将是使用核磁共振技术绘制大脑的相互连接的网络图，也被称为“连接体”，并应用这一知识来促进对神经精神障碍的理解。

The human brain has long been conceptualized as a complex neural network. The connections of this network are yet to be characterized in full detail. Only recent technological advances in imaging have made possible to visualize the network architecture of the living brain. My fellowship will focus on using MRI techniques to map the interconnected network of the brain also called as the “connectome” and apply this knowledge to advance the understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders.
