KTH Brain health
Understanding brain disorders requires connecting the brain's chemistry and structural properties with the brain's electrical activity. Through a multidisciplinary initiative, KTH aims to pave the way for improved diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases.
Brain health is a growing concern in modern societies, contributing to human suffering and significant healthcare costs. Many psychiatric disorders, however, show no visible changes in the brain’s structure or chemistry, making diagnosis and treatment exceptionally challenging.
This KTH initiative takes a new, interdisciplinary approach to addressing the complexity of brain disorders. By integrating insights from neuroscience, biochemistry, computational modeling, and AI, the initiative connects the brain’s chemical and structural properties with its dynamic electrical activity. This holistic perspective aims to improve the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases.
The project focuses on developing personalized computational models for specific brain disorders in the short term. Long-term goals include creating diagnostic pipelines and establishing training programs to educate the next generation of brain health researchers.
KTH brings together leading experts in computational neuroscience, brain imaging, AI, molecular biology, and high-performance computing. Interested in collaborating or learning more? Contact us!
