Our Core Facilities
The overall goal of the Core is to support affiliates and train junior investigators to perform scientifically sound research by providing a variety of (and selecting appropriate) advanced imaging modalities such as structural and functional/physiologic MRI, multinuclear MR spectroscopy, PET, ERP/EEG, and MEG as well as by designing study-specific sophisticated analysis tools for both human and animal studies.
Our Core Facilities include:
Animal Behavior Core
The Animal Behavior Core provides multi-pronged services for Research Affiliates using preclinical animal models of developmental disorders.
Brain Imaging Core
The overall goal of the Core is to support affiliates and train junior investigators to perform scientifically sound research by providing…
Clinical Translational Core
The Clinical Translational Core functions as a service to IDDRC scientists to organize, integrate, and promote the use of translational research resources.
Genetics Core
The Genetics Core is designed to integrate cutting-edge genomic technologies into the research programs of investigators to enhance the understanding of IDD.
