Brainnetome of Memory Impairment in Schizophrenia, National Natural Science Foundation of China, 2012-2015

PI: Tianzi Jiang

Investigations of Brain Networks with Multimodal Imaging and Clinical Applications
Chief Investigator: Tianzi Jiang

This is one project supported by National Basic Research Program of China (973 Program), awarded by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China in 2010. The project has been approved funding of 26 millions (RMB) for five years from 2011 to 2015. Thirty Investigators from twelve institutions (including eight hospitals) involve in this project. This project conducts studies of brainnetome for four different diseases with focal lesion (stoke and glioma) and diffusion lesions (schizophrenia and AD) on the macroscale with multimodal imaging and electrophysiological technologies. To achieve its goals, the project is divided into five subprojects:

1. Brain Atlas by Combining Connectivity with Cytoarchitecture (PI: Tianzi Jiang)
2. Brain Networks with Multimodal MRI (PI: Dewen Hu)
3. Brain Networks with Electrophysiological Techniques (PI: Dezhong Yao)
4. Altered Brain Networks in Patients with Focal Lesions (Stroke and Glioma) (PI: Xunming Ji)
5. Altered Brain Networks in Patients with Diffusion Lesions (Schizophrenia and AD) (PI: Jingsheng Zeng)
