The ‘Translational Neuroimaging’ research group contains 9 members. We investigate the effects environment (medications, drugs, excercise) on the brain (in development) using novel non-invasive molecular imaging techniques. This highly innovative line of research provides insight into the benefits and harm of the environment, including medicines, on the brain, and its application in personalized medicine.× =
