About

The Brain Connectivity and Cognition Lab explores how different brain regions communicate to support cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and reasoning. Using advanced neuroimaging techniques like fMRI and DTI, the lab studies both healthy individuals and those with neurological or psychiatric disorders. Their research focuses on identifying patterns of disrupted connectivity in conditions such as schizophrenia and autism. The goal is to understand how changes in brain networks relate to cognitive deficits and behavior. This work aims to inform the development of targeted therapies and early interventions.
