Neurological Disorders and Imaging Section

Led by Head of Section, Professor Tom Barrick, the Neurological Disorders and Imaging Section aims to enhance our understanding of neurological disorders, leading to improved diagnosis and treatments.

Imaging plays a central role across our research themes, utilising 3T MRI for patient studies and providing imaging capabilities at the cellular level through our Imaging Resource Facility.

Additionally, we are establishing collaborations to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into our image analysis methodologies.
