Adolf Pfefferbaum

Adolf Pfefferbaum, director of the Neuroscience Program in the Center for Health Sciences at SRI International, has been at the forefront of neuroimaging and electrophysiological research in normal aging and neuropsychiatric disorders for more than three decades. At SRI, he has focused on devising novel approaches for quantitative neuroimaging data to yield measures of brain structures and tissue composition (using magnetic resonance imaging, MRI), microstructure (MR diffusion tensor imaging, DTI), chemistry (magnetic resonance spectroscopy), and function (functional MRI) in the living human. He is also Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emeritus at Stanford University.
