Observing the Human Brain in Action
The Maryland Neuroimaging Center (MNC) is a vibrant neuroimaging research hub at the University of Maryland, College Park. Housed in a spacious facility in the Gudelsky Building, adjacent to the main College Park campus, the center has been designed to foster collaboration among neuroscientists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, engineers, and physicists. A special focus of the center is on understanding mechanisms of brain development and neural plasticity in typical and atypical populations, and in understanding the neural mechanisms underlying expert abilities that serve critical national priorities. The MNC is available to researchers from the University of Maryland and other regional centers.
MNC houses a state of the art research-dedicated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner, ideal for mapping brain structures and the location of brain activity.
