Neuroimaging Acquisition & Analysis (NA2) Core

The primary objective of the CoNDA Center’s Neuroimaging Acquisition & Analysis (NA2) Core is to support innovative and collaborative research by providing the resources, major equipment, and technical expertise necessary for state-of-the-art assessment of human brain structure, brain function, and brain dynamics. The CoNDA's NA2 Core is comprised of two "sub-cores": the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Core directed by Dr. David Warren, and the Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Core directed by Dr. Valentina Gumenyuk.

Translational Imaging & Behavioral Assessment (TIBA) Core

The primary objective of the CoNDA Center’s Translational Imaging & Behavioral Assessment (TIBA) Core is to support innovative and collaborative research using animal models for the study of neurocognition in health and disease. The TIBA Core provides the resources, major equipment and technical expertise necessary for state-of-the-art assessment of brain structure and function, and assessment of animal behavior in animal models of neurocognitive disorders. The CoNDA's TIBA Core is comprised of three "sub-cores": the Intravital Imaging Core directed by Dr. Heather Jensen Smith, the Animal Behavior Assessment Core directed by Dr. Mystera Samuelson, and the Small Animal MRI Core directed by Dr. Yutong Liu.
