About
The goal of Dr. Ajilore's research is to understand the pathophysiology of depressive disorder in the context of medical co-morbidities and late life using novel magnetic resonance imaging techniques. His group focuses on using structural and functional brain connectivity to study the brain as a network. Using these modalities, they have developed innovative ways of discovering brain changes associated with major depression that may lead to patient-specific targets for intervention and treatment. Through these research projects, trainees can learn about neuroimaging methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy acquiring skills in image acquisition, pre-processing, computational modeling and data analysis.
