Juho Joutsa serves as Professor of Neurology at the University of Turku and Chief Neurologist at Turku University Hospital since 2023, while chairing the Turku Brain and Mind Center. His academic journey includes progression from Adjunct Professor (2015) through Assistant and Associate Professor roles in Neuroimaging at the Turku Brain and Mind Center, alongside clinical specialization in Neurology (2020). Professor of Neurology, Clinical Neurosciences, University of Turku (2023-present) Chief Neurologist, Neurocenter, Turku University Hospital (2023-present) Chair, Turku Brain and Mind Center (current) Adjunct Professor, Department of Neurology, University of Turku (2015-present) Professor Joutsa's research focuses on elucidating neurobiological mechanisms of brain disorders through innovative lesion network mapping combined with advanced neuroimaging and neuromodulation techniques. His work spans neurological movement disorders (dystonia, tremor), addiction neuroscience, and epilepsy, with particular emphasis on translating circuit discoveries into therapeutic interventions. The laboratory employs a multimodal approach integrating causal brain lesion analysis, state-of-the-art MRI/PET/SPECT imaging, and brain stimulation methods (TMS, DBS, MRgFUS) to identify and modulate pathological brain networks. Recent publication trends reveal a strong focus on lesion-based circuit mapping across diverse neurological conditions. High-impact 2022-2025 papers in Nature Medicine, Brain, and Neurology demonstrate consistent methodological innovation in identifying disease-specific brain networks for movement disorders, stuttering, and addiction. The research shows increasing international collaboration and translational emphasis, with recent work directly informing neuromodulation treatment targets. As Lead Teacher in Neurology for the M.D. curriculum, Professor Joutsa integrates clinical expertise with research insights. His laboratory leverages the Turku PET Centre's exceptional resources including multiple PET/CT scanners and hybrid MRI/PET systems, facilitating cutting-edge multimodal studies. The laboratory maintains close operational ties with Turku University Hospital's clinical neurology and neurophysiology departments, enabling direct patient-researcher collaboration. The Brain Stimulation and Neuroimaging Laboratory (Turku Brainlab), established in 2018, operates within the Turku Brain and Mind Center with access to neuronavigated TMS, transcranial electrical stimulation, and comprehensive electrophysiology systems. This environment supports interdisciplinary research bridging clinical neurology, neuroscience, and engineering to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for brain disorders.

Päivi Nevalainen serves as Supervisor in the Doctoral Programme Brain & Mind at the University of Helsinki's Faculty of Medicine. She holds a docentship in Physiology, Genetics and Preanalytics at Helsinki University Hospital (HUS) and conducts research at the BioMag Laboratory within the Department of Neurosciences, specializing in clinical neurophysiological applications for neonatal and pediatric populations. Her research centers on advanced neurophysiological monitoring techniques, particularly EEG and magnetoencephalography (MEG), for neonatal brain assessment. Key focus areas include developing automated EEG analysis tools (e.g., Brain State of the Newborn, Sleep State Trend) to predict outcomes in perinatal asphyxia and neonatal encephalopathy, investigating epilepsy biomarkers through high-frequency oscillation analysis, and optimizing epilepsy surgery using stereo-EEG. Her work integrates transcranial magnetic stimulation to study motor cortex function in children and adolescents, with strong emphasis on translating neurophysiological markers into clinical decision support systems. Analysis of her 60+ publications (2023-2025) reveals a consistent trajectory toward multimodal neurophysiological monitoring for precision neonatal care. Her recent work demonstrates increasing multicenter collaboration in epilepsy surgery research, with significant contributions to seizure onset zone localization methods and quantitative EEG-based outcome prediction in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The publications show methodological evolution from basic neurophysiological characterization toward clinically implementable algorithms. Dr. Nevalainen actively supervises doctoral candidates through the Brain & Mind programme and contributes to clinical neurophysiology standardization at BioMag Laboratory. Her research program involves close collaboration with Helsinki University Hospital's neonatal intensive care and epilepsy surgery units, though specific grant details are not publicly documented. She maintains leadership in developing biomagnetic measurement protocols for neonatal applications within the BioMag team.
