Neuro-MRI

The Faculty of Medicine's Neuro-MRI core facility supports scientists, particularly in the fields of neurology and psychiatry, with state-of-the-art human brain imaging hardware and sequences. With the new MAGNETOM Prisma from Siemens, a 3T platform was installed in January 2024 that supports demanding research projects.

The CCF Neuro-MRI is equipped with a state-of-the-art Siemens 3T MAGNETOM Prisma, including MR-compatible equipment for visual stimulus presentation for neurological and psychiatric research. This setup enables fast and high-resolution functional imaging of the brain, as well as diffusion-weighted MRI for the reconstruction of nerve fibers. This is used for the investigation of subtle changes (e.g., plasticity after pharmacological intervention) or changes in deep (subcortical) brain structures.
