  3. Brain Imaging Laboratory • - The Dartmouth BIL was established in 1993 as an fMRI and brain morphometry research program. • It is a collaborative, multidisciplinary program including faculty from Psychiatry, Radiology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuropathology, Molecular Genetics, Computer Science & beyond. • Four programmatic goals: • Clinical Neuroscience Research • Advanced Education and Training • Technical Development • Study Normal Human Brain Function

  7. Contributors to NA-MIC: Related Neuroimaging Work • Robert M. Roth, Ph.D., Assistant Professor • Bipolar disorder and OCD (NARSAD, ADAA, Hitchcock Foundation, NCD) • Thomas W. McAllister, M.D., Professor • fMRI Pharmacology and genetics of traumatic brain injury (NINDS, NICHD) • Andrew J. Saykin, Psy.D., Professor (Site PI) • Preclinical Alzheimer’s disease and MCI (fMRI, DTI, morphometry) (NIA) • Imaging of cognitive effects of cancer chemotherapy (NCI) • Pending imaging projects on neurogenetics & cytokine biomarkers • Brenna C. McDonald, Psy.D., Assistant Professor • Pediatric neuroimaging in epilepsy & TBI, clinical presurgical fMRI (EF) • Heather A. Wishart, Ph.D., Assistant Professor • fMRI and lesion analysis in multiple sclerosis (NMSS, NINDS K23) • Ann Christine Duhaime, M.D. Professor (Neurosurgery) • fMRI study of pediatric brain injury using a piglet model (NICHD)

  8. How NAMIC Fits into Portfolio • Every project in the BIL requires advanced image analysis tools – this makes NAMIC a high priority. • Most projects combine fMRI, manual and voxel-based morphometry and DTI – data integration is a special priority. • The BIL team contributes expertise with fMRI methodology. • BIL researchers contribute “driving” ideas for needed tools and features, test prototypes in the “real world” setting, provide feedback and plan to employ resulting tools in multiple scientific projects cutting across diseases and brain systems. • The BIL works closely with the Core 3.1 Harvard Site and the SPL to achieve these goals. • The BIL team also collaborates with Cores 1 and 2 including 2 MIT labs, UNC, the SPL, as well as the Training and Dissemination Cores. We also look forward to collaborations with other NAMIC components.
