Mapping the brain changes that underlie mental illness

Description 
Most mental disorders are thought to arise from subtle disturbances in brain network wiring – i.e., disordered brain connectivity. Several projects are on offer that will allow students to characterize brain network changes in a range of disorders that includes schizophrenia, depression, ADHD, OCD and bipolar disorder. Students will develop skills in matlab, neuroscience, and the analysis of human MRI data.
