Nico Dosenbach is associate professor of neurology at Washington University School of Medicine. His research as a systems neuroscientist is focused on pushing resting-state functional connectivity MRI (RSFC), functional MRI (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to the level of individual patients. To create and annotate the connectomes of individuals he is working to improve the signal-to-noise, spatial resolution and replicability of RSFC, DTI and fMRI data.

Neuroscientists need to do better at explaining basic mental health research
The knowledge gap between scientists, health-care professionals, policymakers and people with mental health conditions is growing, slowing the translation of basic science to new treatments. Like lawyers learning to present a case to the court, scientists should learn to educate nonscientists about their findings.
