The AMRIT (Advanced Mapping and Recovery using Imaging Technology) Research Program led by
Dr. Nair is dedicated to advancing our understanding of brain health, injury, and recovery across the lifespan.
We harness cutting-edge neuroimaging and cognitive science to explore the brain’s resilience and the profound impact of neurological conditions. Our work delves into the mechanisms that underpin both vibrant brain function and the challenges posed by disease and injury.
Our work spans stroke, vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), aging, and functional brain mapping for pre-surgical planning. Our goal is to translate imaging biomarkers into tools that inform prognosis and therapy.
