• The Center for Imaging of Neurodegenerative Diseases (CIND), formerly the Magnetic Resonance Unit, is a two-story, 10,000 sq. ft. building under the auspices of the Radiology Service at the San Francisco Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center, fully affiliated with the Department of Radiology at UCSF. The CIND, under the direction of Dr. Michael W. Weiner, has as its main focus the development and use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) methods for the study of neurodegenerative diseases. Development activities include: rf pulses, MRI sequences, improved structural, perfusion, DTI, SVS MRS and MRSI, improved image reconstruction (e.g. non Fourier) techniques, improved image processing including bias field correction, registration, segmentation, and statistical analysis. Diseases under study include Alzheimer’s disease, Vascular Dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, Epilepsy, Alcoholism, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and other neurodegenerative diseases. The CIND includes more than a dozen senior scientists and collaborators, and over 70 additional more junior scientists, technicians, and administrative personnel.

• Brain Imaging and EEG Laboratory (Ford and Mathalon)- BIEEGL is a clinical and cognitive neuroscience laboratory dedicated to understanding schizophrenia.  The scientists at BIEEGL use advanced imagining techniques to study the brain structure and function of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. People without schizophrenia who meet other research criteria may participate as part of a control group to compare the brains of people with schizophrenia and healthy people to learn about the causes of psychotic symptoms. 
  BIEEGL is a University of California, San Francisco research laboratory located at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. The lab also conducts research at the University of California, San Francisco and has an additional lab at the Butler Building of the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute.
