Center for Functional Neuroimaging at the University of Pennsylvania
The Center for Functional Neuroimaging (CfN) was created in 2003 to advance the general interests of the brain imaging community at the University of Pennsylvania through targeted methods development, symposia and colloquia, handling of regulatory issues, and fund-raising efforts.
The CfN is a Type I Center within the Department of Radiology that draws upon multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary expertise and resources available at the University of Pennsylvania, involving contributions from physics, engineering, radiochemistry, computer sciences, psychiatry, psychology, cognitive and systems neuroscience, and the clinical neurosciences.
宾夕法尼亚大学功能性神经影像中心成立于2003年,旨在通过针对性的核磁共振成像方法开发、聘请专家进行专题讨论会和座谈会、改进核磁实验监管问题等,提升功能性神经影像学的实验技术能力。除了方法学的提升,该中心还利用宾大提供的多学科和跨学科专业知识和资源,依托各研究小组和现有的科研设备,如3.0 Tesla Siemens Prisma Fit、模拟扫描仪(Mmock Scanner)、与核磁设备兼容的经颅直流电刺激器等,采用神经成像方法在各个基础和应用领域进行了广泛的基础研究。
该影像中心始终致力于神经影像学技术水平的提升,专业人才的培养和高水平的科学研究,目前在技术开发,教学育人和培训等方面在国内外均享有盛誉,同时,该中心还与国际上其他著名脑成像中心建立了密切的合作关系,以确保该中心的成像技术始终处于国际领先水平。
