Prof Kelly Cosgrove, Psychiatry
(kelly.cosgrove@yale.edu)
Format: Weekly
seminars to cover current and classic literature on functional imaging research
into affects of drugs (licit and illicit) on brain chemistry. Readings taken from seminal papers using PET, SPECT, and fMRI. Lively
discussion is expected.
Course Goals
- To learn to read the functional imaging
literature perceptively and critically.
- To learn to recognize the primary endpoints of
functional imaging studies of the brain
- To recognize commonalities in studies of drug
abuse and reward and to construct a sound imaging study.
- To understand the ambiguities inherent in the
analysis of functional imaging studies depending on the tracer or imaging
modality.
- Interested Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience
graduate students as well as motivated senior undergraduates are welcome.
