Brains Keep Changing

We want to study how brain function and structure change in childhood.

Large Animal Imaging Facility Core

Large Animal Imaging Facility Core

The Large Animal Imaging Facility Core provides infrastructure to support translational research activities that bring diagnostic and therapeutic drugs and interventions, investigational new drugs, and investigational device exemption from bench to bedside in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Jeffrey I. Berman, PhD
Jeffrey I. Berman

Dr. Berman's research focuses on the coupling between brain structure and function and how abnormal development of the structure-function relationships contribute to the clinical symptoms of disorders such as autism spectrum disorder.

MRI Study for Infants with Down Syndrome

MRI Study for Infants with Down Syndrome

The goal of this study is to increase our understanding of how the brain is affected in infants with and without Down Syndrome

Mitochondrial Myopathy Rating Scale

Mitochondrial Myopathy Rating Scale

The purpose of this research study is to validate the use of surveys such as fatigue scales, Mitochondrial Disease scales, and quality of life scales.

Metabolic MRI: Pilot Testing

Metabolic MRI: Pilot Testing

The purpose of this research study is to test and adapt new techniques for performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI provides pictures of the inside of the body and information about chemicals the body makes.

Novel Imaging Techniques in Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease

Novel Imaging in Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease

In this study, we are developing new ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods to measure kidney and liver disease severity in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).
