معرفی
Peter Fransson is a Professor of Brain System Physiology at Karolinska Institutet's Department of Clinical Neuroscience. He holds a PhD from 1999 and became Associate Professor in 2006 before advancing to his current role since 2014. His research focuses on brain network connectivity, functional MRI (fMRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and EEG, with emphasis on neurodevelopmental disorders, chronic pain mechanisms, and neurological conditions like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis.
Research Interests: Investigating large-scale brain network architecture, functional connectivity dynamics, and their implications in health and disease. Key areas include resting-state networks, pain modulation, neuroplasticity after stroke, and developmental neuroscience.
Grants:
- Swedish Research Council grants (2024–2026, 2021–2024, etc.) for studies on neural plasticity, traumatic brain injury, and olfactory system development.
Publications: Over 200 peer-reviewed articles, including work on fibromyalgia pain processing, neonatal brain connectivity, and computational modeling of brain networks. Recent studies focus on multimodal imaging and genetic influences on brain function.
Labs/Teams: Leads the 'Large-scale Network Connectivity in the Human Brain' group, collaborating on projects like the Stockholm Sleepy Brain study and the RATSS twin study on neurodevelopmental disorders.
