An Introduction to Neuroimaging Research in Schizophrenia

Abstract:

MR imaging has revolutionized the way neuroscientist study the brain, as
it has allowed us to investigate the morphology and function of the
brain /in vivo/, without any harming effects to human subjects. This
talk will give an overview of current state of the art imaging research
in Schizophrenia. We will discuss how structural, diffusion MRI analysis
can be used to get a better understanding of the brain abnormalities
involved in schizophreni

a mediator between computer scientists and neuroscientists to help
improve computer tools for neuroimaging studies. He received his B.Eng.
from Institut Polytechnique de Sevenans , France, his M.Sc. from the
