A research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to study the influence of sex hormones on brain development during puberty using neuroimaging and machine learning techniques.
Description
This project aims to develop and apply innovative neuroimaging and machine learning techniques to study how sex hormones influence brain development during puberty. It addresses gaps in understanding neurobiological mechanisms such as cytoarchitecture changes and hormone fluctuations, integrating advanced biophysical modeling of diffusion-weighted imaging with hormone sampling across multiple datasets.
