Sub Research Field: |
Design and implement experimental paradigms, and acquire MRI and physiological data in healthy subjects and glioma patients.
Develop and apply novel methods for the analysis of MRI data analysis.
Write research papers under the supervision of the PI, aiming to publish at top-tier journals.
Present research findings at international scientific conferences and meetings.
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), which measures the blood flow response to vasoactive stimuli, is a crucial marker of cerebrovascular health. It plays a significant role in diagnosing and managing various neuropathological conditions and enhances our understanding of human brain function and physiology. Additionally, CVR has been linked to baseline perfusion and functional connectivity measurements. This project will involve the acquisition of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and arterial spin labelling (ASL) data using advanced techniques to obtain detailed maps of CVR, vascular delay, baseline perfusion and functional connectivity in a large cohort of healthy subjects. This unique resource will enable us to create normative atlases and charts of these measurements, facilitating the identification of abnormalities in the presence of gliomas. Furthermore, the project aims to develop innovative methods that shed light on the interplay between cerebrovascular and functional networks in healthy subjects, and examine how these networks are disrupted by gliomas.
