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.

The changing nature of the neuroscience Ph.D.
The best science can only be sustained by a steady influx of early-stage scientists and the innovative ideas they bring, says Diane Lipscombe. She reflects on the loss of international students, the value of training grants, and the challenges that lie ahead for graduate education.
