Lectures and seminars Imaging the ineffable: Human psychedelic functional and molecular brain imaging
This is part of the “Hot-topics in multimodal imaging” seminar series hosted by the Division of Imaging Core Facilities at the department of Clinical Neuroscience.
Title: Imaging the ineffable: Human psychedelic functional and molecular brain imaging
Speaker: Dr. Patrick M. Fisher is a Senior Researcher at the Neurobiology Research Unit at Rigshospitalet and an Associate Professor at the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Dr. Fisher earned a PhD in Neuroscience from the Center for Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh the United States. Dr. Fisher’s research applies fMRI and PET in humans to resolve clinically and pharmacologically relevant neural mechanisms. My lab assesses acute and persistent psychedelic drug effects with these imaging tools, including delineating their pharmacokinetic profiles. The goal of these projects is to better understand brain mechanisms underlying the acute psychedelic experience as well as its lasting behavioral and clinical effects so that they can be applied safely and efficiently.
Hosted by Andrea Varrone from Division of Imaging Core Facilities, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, KI.
Hot-topics in multimodal imaging" is a seminar series hosted by the Division of Imaging Core Facilities with a focus on multimodal imaging, which will cover the latest research in the fields Neurology, Psychiatry and Cognitive Neuroscience and will give our audience an overview of the state-of-the-art instruments, computational and AI assisted data analysis being applied in the field by top international researchers.
