Research Synopsis

Dr. Nestor’s research interests involve the development and optimization of neuroimaging based biomarkers for the circuit-based diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders. His lab uses multimodal imaging techniques including functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging for biomarker development and validation, investigating biological mechanisms of brain network disruption across the lifespan, and is involved with conducting therapeutic trials using neuromodulation modalities such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, electroconvulsive therapy, deep brain stimulation, and high frequency magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound.
