Brief description Development of integrated biological markers of brain function. With the rapid growth of both brain imaging and genetics, we can now examine the biological basis of complex brain functions, such as memory. Our goal is to combine these techniques to develop evidence-based biological markers of normal function. These markers can then be used to screen for early signs of abnormal function (eg. in Alzheimer's disease) and to assess treatment effects. Two unique features ensure the project's feasibility: a) access to the first standardized, normative brain database (from the Brain Resource Company Ltd) and b) a scientific collaboration supporting the integration of brain imaging and genetics.
