UAB Center for the

Development of Functional Imaging

Non-Human Primate High-Field MRI System Director: Dr. Paul Gamlin

The Center for the Development of Functional Imaging at the Univer-


sity of Alabama at Birmingham was established by the University of
Alabama Board of Trustees in 2002 to advance the visual and neural
sciences. The goal of the Center is develop and exploit new technolo-
gies to better understand brain function.

A primary means of accomplishing this goal is the synergistic use of


functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with more invasive
physiological techniques to better understand the role of the brain in
controlling behavior. This approach will allow us to appreciate both the
overall patterns of brain activity and the role of specific neuronal cir-
cuits as the same time.
