Research Focus
Dr. R. Todd Constable's lab at Yale University is focused on advancing MRI technology and understanding the brain's functions and dysfunctions, particularly in relation to neuropsychiatric symptoms from infections like COVID-19. The lab works on making MRI more accessible through innovative low-cost systems, while also researching the brain circuits involved in cognitive and behavioral changes after illness. By merging neuroscience with advanced imaging techniques, they aim to develop better diagnostic and treatment strategies for patients with complex neurological disorders.
