• Neural correlates of mood- and anxiety-related disorders

  We employ several neuroimaging modalities (e.g., structural, DTI, functional connectivity, fMRI) to investigate the brain differences associated with mental disorders, specially mood- and anxiety-related disorders.

• Development of neuroimaging-based diagnostic and treatment prediction tools

  We are working on the development and validation of imaging-based machine-learning models to improve the diagnosis and outcome prediction in mental disorders, specially mood- and anxiety-related disorders.

• Evidence-based syntheses in mental health

  We conduct syntheses (e.g., meta-analyses, mega-analyses and umbrella reviews) of variables and processes involved in mental disorders, specially mood- and anxiety-related disorders. Although our focus is on neuroimaging, we are also interested in clinical risk and prognostic factors. We have developed and validated several tools to this end (e.g., Seed-based d Mapping), and we participate in the international ENIGMA consortium.
