Dr. Gansler has collaborative relationships at Tufts University School of Medicine, and the majority of lab studies have come from the Psychiatry and Radiology services at T-NEMC. High resolution anatomic MRI scans are conducted in the 1.5 tesla magnet at Tufts, and the digital images are transferred for study at Suffolk. Dr. Jerram has collaborative relationships with the MGH-Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and the imaging center at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and much of his fMRI work is conducted at these sites. D. Jerram’s publications include Hormonal Cycle Modulates Arousal Circuitry in Women Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Sex Differences in Prefrontal Cortical Brain Activity During fMRI of Auditory Verbal Working Memory.

Dr. Gansler’s work is internally funded. Dr. Jerram’s work is funded through his collaboration with Dr. Jill Goldstein, Director of Research at the Connors Center for Women’s Health at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The laboratory is equipped with two Dell Work Stations, one is Linux-based and the other is a PC. Image analysis software includes the graphical user interface based medx image analysis software (linux) and analyzedirect (pc). Dr. Jerram has also begun to mentor students in SPM2 and SPM5 and has training in the FSL suite of image analysis tools, expanding the range of image analysis techniques available to students working in the lab.
