Mapping Brain Network Interactions in Neurodegenerative Disorders of the Subcortex [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Ian Harding (Principal investigator)

Brief description Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Friedreich ataxia are debilitating and progressive neurodegenerative disorders that result from cell death within different components of a common brain system. Using magnetic resonance imaging and advanced statistical techniques, I will investigate functional and structural changes within this system, providing a clearer picture of the brain network changes that underlie the expression of these disorders.
