Bioengineering
Bio-X SIGF Bruce and Elizabeth Dunlevie Fellow 2010/2011
Professor Karl Deisseroth (Bioengineering, Psychiatry)
Noninvasive functional brain imaging has opened a new window into understanding how the brain functions and communicates information. However, the relationship between the activities of neurons and signals measured with functional brain imaging remains poorly understood. Remy’s research combines a novel form of neural control called optogenetics with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to determine how different types of cells effect fMRI signals and connectivity between brain regions. Remy’s work will aid in understanding the function of the normal brain and also the diagnosis and treatment of diseased brain states. |
