The Neuroimaging Lab captures imaging from patients and research participants at the Fixel Institute.

Imaging collected through the lab links to the other core laboratories and plays an essential role for database and biomarker projects. The lab collaborates with researchers interested in motor, mood, cognition, quality of life, deep brain stimulation and non-invasive stimulation research.

Led by Dr. David Vaillancourt, the Neuroimaging Lab developed novel techniques for imaging in vivo and ex vivo animals and for tracking disease progression in humans.  Specific applications in the laboratory include Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, Alzheimer’s disease, essential tremor, ataxia, and chronic pain.
