David Salat
The overarching aim of Dr. Salat's work is to understand mechanisms of neural disease and to implement novel approaches to reduce the impact of disease on the brain, cognition and clinical status. Clinically, there are two main clinical foci to his research. At the MGH Martinos Center, he directs...
Lilla Zollei
Dr. Lilla Zollei's research focuses on the design and development of quantitative analysis tools for neuroscientific problems. She builds and tests computational tools that can be used for both individual and group studies and investigate, through the combination of image information from multipl...
Berkin Bilgic
MRI has demonstrated ability to provide exquisite contrast for non-invasive imaging. What limits its efficiency and sensitivity are the tradeoffs between scan time, resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. Dr. Bilgic's research is devoted to breaking this stalemate by developing new acquisition and ...
Novel PET Radiotracer Offers Possible ‘Smell Test’ for Dementia
Olfactory health – how well we are able to smell – is a reliable marker of the health of the brain, but the “smell identification tests” commonly used in studies of olfactory health do not offer a complete picture of what is happening. Now, using a novel PET radiotracer called Neuroflux, a team o...
Q&A: Susan Whitfield-Gabrieli on Managing Anxiety and Depression with Mindfulness-Based fMRI Neurofeedback
In a paper recently published in Molecular Psychiatry, Martinos affiliated faculty member Susan Whitfield-Gabrieli and colleagues describe a mindfulness-based fMRI neurofeedback approach they have developed and highlight its potential in treating adolescents with a history of anxiety and depressi...

The Epigenetics of Aging: Understanding neurodegeneration at the gene transcription level
Over the past century, life expectancy has doubled. Consider for a moment the impact of this factoid on our interpretation of the aging brain. Prior to the 20thcentury – indeed, throughout nearly all of history – there was likely no evolutionary pressure for humans to live beyond reproductive age...
Understanding Eye-contact Avoidance in People With Autism
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have difficulty looking others in the eyes. This is typically interpreted as a sign of social and personal indifference, but self-reports from people with autism suggests otherwise. Many say that looking others in the eye is uncomfortable or s...
