OVERVIEW


My research is focused on developing novel functional MRI brain imaging paradigms which  are used to study normal cognitive and emotional processing and neuropsychiatric disorders. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been a special interest for over a decade.  Our group has identified functional, structural, biochemical and connection abnormalities that play roles in the pathophysiology of ADHD, and has used functional MRI to study the psychopharmacological mechanisms of medications used to treat ADHD. Determining how cingulate cortex functions is vital to understanding the neurobiology of neuropsychiatric disorders, as its subregions play crucial roles in cognitive, emotional, reward and motor processes. Our lab’s collaborative studies incorporate functional MRI, intracranial recordings, cognitive neuroscience techniques and clinical research methods with refined understanding of cingulate cortex anatomy and physiology. Additionally, we conduct multimodal imaging studies to characterize the neural substrate of meditation and social attachment processes.


Methods: fMRI, ASL, mMRI, DTI, PET, intracranial recordings, behavior


Special Areas of Interest: ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Depression

Non-Print Materials [Computer Software & Miscellaneous]:

(Please note: Software list includes selected programs from over 150 currently used

by numerous research groups at the MGH-NMR Center, nationally, and internationally, for data

        analysis of functional MRI data).


1988Visual Display of Neural Network Mechanisms, SUNY at Buffalo - School of Medicine


1995AnalyzeEZ: Automated statistical analysis of functional and anatomical MRI data


AnalyzeEZ_MC: Automated motion-correction and statistical analysis of functional and

    anatomical MRI data.  Tabulates motion-detection data.


Geocol:Statistical analysis of functional MRI data.


Image Display Utilities: (sl, kh, mos, RegView, ViewLM#)


Tal_EZ_MR:Automated spatial normalization of fMRI data into Talairach space.


1996Tal_Finder: Localizes regions of  activation by smoothing statistical maps, finding local

maxima, identifying adjacent active voxels in 3-dimensional space. It

creates a table of activated regions, and calculates volumes of each region.


ROI.Comp: A multi-purpose program that compares sets of functionally identified 3-D

regions of interest (ROI’s) from different scans, permitting measurement

of (1) regional test-retest reliability within a single subject, (2) individual

variability amongst subjects, (3) overlap between different tasks.


TRR.Global: Measures global test-retest reliability (i.e. percentage agreement at each

overlapping pixel) for a pair of  functional scans.


3dtc: Creates timecourses for 3-D regions of activation.


MR.Tal.Comp: Compares a set of functionally identified 3-D regions of activation from a Talairached fMRI scan to a list of Talairach points (e.g. from a

published study), reporting any overlap.


1997Counting Stroop (Computerized task and Performance Data Analysis Package)

- Currently being used by groups locally, nationally, and internationally


2000MSIT (Computerized task and Performance Data Analysis Package)

- Currently being used by groups locally, nationally, and internationally


2001EZ-fast-run: Streamlined Linux/Unix-based analysis stream for block-design or

event-related fMRI data
