Neuroimaging Research

(NIAAA Intramural & NIH)

Neuroimaging research at Brookhaven is a prime example of transdisciplinary research where the expertise of chemists, physicists, and biological and medical scientists blend to apply new imaging tools to problems in human health. Brookhaven has a network of complementary brain-imaging tools:

Positron Emission Tomography (PET)	MicroMRI	Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Optical Imaging	Awake Animal Imaging	Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation-MRI

Using these imaging tools, human neuroscience research has focused on understanding how the brain effects, and is affected by:

• substance abuse / addiction
• obesity and eating disorders
• ADHD
• depression

Behavioral Pharmacology and Neuroimaging, and Neuropsychoimaging enrich investigations of the relationships between brain chemistry and behavior.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
