Launching a Bold, New Research Collaboration

Photo montage of key collaborators in the BrainHealth Research Network.
The BrainHealth Network focuses on understanding brain health through advanced MRI imaging and data analysis. Collecting a comprehensive set of brain scans — including structural, functional, vascular and white matter tract imaging — data from this initiative is used to assess both neural and vascular health, offering a holistic view of brain function.
Connecting researchers across the country, this rapidly growing collaborative is accelerating expert analysis of this expanding data set and promoting groundbreaking discoveries – for the benefit of society, human health, transparency, reproducibility and innovation.
