## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – NEUROIMAGING CORE 
 The overall mission of the Neuroimaging Core is the use of imaging science to better understand 
intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), their causes, treatments, and prevention. This mission is 
accomplished in two ways: (1) Innovation (Aim 1)–development of new techniques, paradigms, methodologies, 
hardware and software to conduct research not previously possible; and (2) Guidance (Aims 2-5)–proper use 
of new and existing techniques studies designed to expand our understanding of IDD. Core faculty and staff 
help to conceptualize, plan and implement stimulus paradigms, MRI pulse sequences, and data analysis 
schemes so that our advisees use state-of-the-art and novel imaging technology to best effect, with innovation 
capabilities and support from both NIH and Industry. These services include quality control procedures for 
assuring the best data for these studies. The Core faculty also guide users to seek synergies across different 
types of imaging data (anatomic, functional, spectroscopic, physiologic). We also provide expertise on MRI- 
compatible implementation of transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation 
techniques that can be used complementarily to functional MRI. Importantly, the Neuroimaging Core exists as 
a dedicated research center, and investigators do not compete with clinical services for scan utilization. To 
achieve these overall goals, the overall Core aims are to: (1) to support and promote innovation through the 
use of imaging science; (2) maintain a state-of-the-art scientific, technical and intellectual environment; (3) 
guide the optimal application of advanced neuroimage acquisition and processing techniques; (4) coordinate 
Core activities throughout the IDDRC; and (5) contribute to the training functions of the Center.
