Research

Led by Dr. Michael Lipton, the Translational Neuroimaging Laboratory investigates brain mechanisms of neurobehavioral dysfunction due to injury and disease and how inter-individual diversity alters these mechanisms and their consequences. Our research has focused for nearly two decades on detecting and characterizing the effects of concussion and repetitive subconcussive head impacts in sports.
