Oscar Vilarroya Oliver

This group is a multidisciplinary research group with the objective of studying the neuroanatomical and neurofunctional bases of specific mental and neurological disorders, as well as specific cognitive, emotional and motivational functions among the general population, using structural and functional magnetic resonance techniques. At present, the group has the following research lines active in neuroimaging: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and other impulsivity disorders, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, anxiety disorders, and other studies in the general population.
