Dr. Roza Vlasova has strong experience in both human and non-human primate neuroimaging. She plays a key role in the success of the UC Davis Conte Center by performing the analysis of structural, diffusion, and functional MRI images of the non-human primate brain. MRI-detectable neural alterations associated with MIA emerge early in development before cognitive and behavioral changes become manifest. She uses MRI data to bridge maternal immune response and behavioral and cognitive outcomes in offspring.
