(personal home page) Research ThemesInterestsMy research aims to decode complex relationships between remote and/or proximal brain regions, which form networks at rest or during goal directed behaviour. This includes work on network adaptive behaviour (reorganisation/plasticity) triggered by abrupt (e.g. trauma, stroke) or gradual structural changes (e.g. neuropsychiatric/neurodegenerative diseases, ageing), or pharmacological agents. Although I primarily work with task related networks, I am also interested in the significance of resting networks and their relationship with task networks. In this context, my research questions are: Can resting network connectivity in individuals/groups provide insights to their ability to complete certain tasks? What happens to resting network connectivity during goal directed behaviour? How does structural integrity relate to network connectivity and behaviour? How do pharmacological agents modulate network organisation at rest or during tasks?  Motor system connectivity in healthy controls and brain injured patients. Green lines - positive interactions. Red lines - negative interactions. Solid lines - significant cluster level with p < 0.05 corrected for multiple comparisons. Dotted lines - significant at voxel level with p < 0.001 uncorrected.
