Research in the Huang lab focuses on the structural and functional connectivity as well as macro- and micro-structural brain mapping using the latest noninvasive neuroimaging techniques. The research goal is to address the neuroscientific questions such as how the human brain functional networks emerge and what the structural and metabolic underpinnings of the brain networks are during development. Macro-structural brain mapping uses approaches of tractography and atlasing of the white matter tracts; micro-structural mapping uses the approaches of measuring neural structural properties at the level of micrometers by assessing diffusion properties of water molecules inside the brain. These quantifications are made possible with recent advancement of cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques, white matter tractography and big-data analytics of brain images.
