Jagust lab

Welcome to the Jagust Lab.

The Jagust Lab is a joint research program involving the UC Berkeley Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, UC Berkeley School of Public Health, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). At LBNL, neuroscientists, radiochemists, physicists, engineers and computer scientists work together to develop and refine imaging techniques. The imaging facility at LBNL includes a PET, SPECT and 1.5T MRI.  We also have another website at LBNL.

The Jagust lab is engaged in the study of brain aging and dementia. We use the techniques of positron emission tomography (PET), structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience to understand the anatomic, biochemical and neurochemical bases of changes in behavior with age and dementia.

We have recently moved from UC Davis. You can find the website of my previous lab at: The UC Davis IDeA Lab
