Areas of Research
The overall aim of Dr. Graff’s research is to better understand the neurobiological characteristics of the different sub-types of schizophrenia as defined by response to treatment. Particularly treatment-resistant schizophrenia and ultra-treatment resistant schizophrenia. Dr. Graff employs a multimodal neuroimaging approach, including positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, fMRI and MRS). PET and MRS allow exploring brain’s neurochemistry in vivo; fMRI explores the neuronal function; and MRI explores the brain structure.
