For more than 10 years the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI) has been dedicated to improving the understanding of the brain in health and disease. Laboratory Director Dr. Arthur W. Toga and his large multi-disciplinary staff provide over 15 years of experience in neuroimaging. The Laboratory of Neuro Imaging provides for analyses of brain mapping data at the regional, national and international level. The Laboratory is continually developing, refining and validating neuroimaging strategies that accommodate different data acquisition methods, populations, laboratories and species. Image analysis can extend from two-dimensional analysis into three and four-dimensional reconstructions. In addition, data can be reassembled algorithmically to perform three-dimensional spatial models of anatomy, physiology or both and these models can then be oriented and located to the investigator's specifications. Investigations into brain structure and function require a diverse array of tools to create, analyze, visualize, and interact with models of the brain. The laboratory houses a large super computer, over 50 workstations and a data archival system of over 100 terabytes. The LONI Scientific Visualization Group has a cutting-edge production studio capable of outputting the highest quality video and audio. The wet labs are equipped with state of the art processing equipment for computational neuroanatomy and a suite of optical cameras for functional imaging. A large area is devoted to visiting scientists and students. The Laboratory of Neuro Imaging provides open access for neuroscientists and trainees that might otherwise not have access to such tools and methods. The Laboratory has established collaborations and service relationships with a diverse and well funded group of basic, applied and clinical scientists working on neuroscientific problems in health and disease.
