معرفی
Saloni Mehta is a Researcher at the Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging, Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Multi-modal Imaging, Neuroinformatics, & Data Science (MINDS) Laboratory. Her work focuses on neuroimaging techniques to study brain structure, function, and dynamics, particularly in conditions such as opioid use disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. She employs advanced methods like functional MRI (fMRI), PET imaging, and connectome-based predictive modeling to explore neural variability, cognitive control, and brain state engagement. Her research also addresses translational challenges, including improving data integrity and developing clinical tools like the BrainEffeX web app.
Her studies highlight structural and functional brain alterations in opioid use disorder, linking these changes to cognitive and behavioral outcomes. Recent findings include associations between opioid use and brain volume reductions, resting-state connectivity disruptions, and neural flexibility deficits. She also investigates trends in academic publishing, such as self-citation rates in neuroscience journals, contributing to discussions on research ethics and methodology.
Awards/Grants: No awards explicitly mentioned in the provided text. Her work is likely supported by institutional grants and collaborations within the Yale School of Medicine.
Lab/Teams: Active member of the MINDS Lab, focusing on neuroimaging innovation and interdisciplinary data science approaches.
