Research Interest

Dr. Badgaiyan’s research focuses on the study of brain mechanisms that are responsible for abnormal behavioral, cognitive and emotional processing. He uses a novel dynamic molecular imaging technique (that he recently developed), to detect changes in the brain neurochemistry. He also uses cutting edge functional MRI techniques to study psychiatric and neuropsychiatric conditions. He is primarily interested in understanding the behavioral and cognitive effects of dysregulated dopamine neurotransmission. His research is funded by the grants from National Institutes of Health and Veteran’s Administration.
