Imaging Inflammation:

Investigating the Impact of Systemic Inflammation

on the Brain

Systemic inflammation has been implicated in the development of mental illnesses and neurodegenerative diseases, primarily through its effects on glial cells. In rodents, multiple immune-brain communication pathways have been identified; however, in-vivo imaging of these processes in humans remains challenging. Our lab has explored a range of MRI and MRS techniques that are sensitive to inflammation-induced changes in the brain. In this talk, I will review key findings from our research and discuss their implications for various neurological conditions, including dementia.Cardiff UniversityBrain Research Imaging CentreThe lecture will be boroadcast virtually via Zoom athttps://unibe-ch.zoom.us/j/66256483922?pwd=aE1kTFg5aUZza1JmWEJxZDVsdnV5dz09Please feel free to spread the word to anybody potentially interested.For further info please contact: karin.zwygart@insel.ch and jessica.bastiaansen@unibe.ch Sure?Edit
