Researchers at the Douglas Brain Imaging Center (BIC) use several brain imaging methods, including MRI scanners, to non-invasively understand the brain structure and functions that are altered by mental illnesses.

The Douglas Institute’s Brain Imaging Center (BIC) offers researchers a platform to analyze brain imaging data from functional and structural neuroimaging techniques. The BIC also contains:

• Research units dedicated to Optogenetic and electrophysiology in small animals
• Research units dedicated to clinical trials, TMS and EEG in humans.

The research scientists primarily study:

• The pathophysiology of several psychiatric diseases including schizophrenia, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and ADHD
• The cognitive functions in healthy subjects, such as emotional processing, spatial navigation, memory, and stress response
