Dr. David Gansler began the laboratory in 2001 and Dr. Matthew Jerram joined the laboratory in 2007 bringing considerable expertise in brain imaging analysis methodology. Dr. Gansler, an experienced clinical neuropsychologist, has clinical and research experience in frontal lobe function and dysfunction and has been applying anatomic MRI methods toward understanding those issues. Dr. Jerram, an experienced psychotherapist and neuroscientist, is interested in exploring brain systems responsible for the interaction of cognitive and affective processes. Dr. Jerram has extensive experience in functional and anatomic MRI. Activity in the lab has focused around a group of heterogeneous psychiatric patients in an effort to better understand the neural circuitry of aggression and impulsivity. There is an ever-growing sample of psychiatric patients and matched-controls for study.
