NEUROIMAGING CORE

项目总结/摘要-神经成像核心 Neuroimaging Core的总体使命是利用成像科学更好地了解 智力和发育残疾（IDD），其原因，治疗和预防。这个使命是 通过两种方式实现：（1）创新（目标1）-开发新技术、范例、方法， 进行以前不可能进行的研究的硬件和软件;以及（2）指导（目标2-5）-正确使用 新的和现有的技术研究，旨在扩大我们对缺碘症的了解。核心教职员工 帮助概念化、计划和实施刺激范例、MRI脉冲序列和数据分析 计划，使我们的参展商使用最先进的和新颖的成像技术，以最佳效果，与创新 来自NIH和行业的能力和支持。这些服务包括质量控制程序， 确保这些研究的最佳数据。核心教师还指导用户在不同的领域寻求协同效应。 成像数据类型（解剖学、功能、光谱学、生理学）。我们还提供MRI方面的专业知识- 经颅磁刺激和经颅直流电刺激的兼容实现 这些技术可以作为功能性MRI的补充。重要的是，神经影像学核心的存在， 一个专门的研究中心，研究者不与临床服务竞争扫描利用率。到 为了实现这些总体目标，总体核心目标是：（1）通过 使用成像科学;（2）保持最先进的科学，技术和知识环境;（3） 指导先进的神经影像采集和处理技术的最佳应用;（4）协调 整个非洲减灾中心的核心活动;（5）促进中心的培训职能。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – NEUROIMAGING CORE The overall mission of the Neuroimaging Core is the use of imaging science to better understand intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), their causes, treatments, and prevention. This mission is accomplished in two ways: (1) Innovation (Aim 1)–development of new techniques, paradigms, methodologies, hardware and software to conduct research not previously possible; and (2) Guidance (Aims 2-5)–proper use of new and existing techniques studies designed to expand our understanding of IDD. Core faculty and staff help to conceptualize, plan and implement stimulus paradigms, MRI pulse sequences, and data analysis schemes so that our advisees use state-of-the-art and novel imaging technology to best effect, with innovation capabilities and support from both NIH and Industry. These services include quality control procedures for assuring the best data for these studies. The Core faculty also guide users to seek synergies across different types of imaging data (anatomic, functional, spectroscopic, physiologic). We also provide expertise on MRI- compatible implementation of transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation techniques that can be used complementarily to functional MRI. Importantly, the Neuroimaging Core exists as a dedicated research center, and investigators do not compete with clinical services for scan utilization. To achieve these overall goals, the overall Core aims are to: (1) to support and promote innovation through the use of imaging science; (2) maintain a state-of-the-art scientific, technical and intellectual environment; (3) guide the optimal application of advanced neuroimage acquisition and processing techniques; (4) coordinate Core activities throughout the IDDRC; and (5) contribute to the training functions of the Center.
