Neurodegenerative Diseases & Preventatives

Vyapti Patel, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

My name is Vyapti Patel, and I am from Bloomingdale, a suburb near Chicago here in Illinois. The research that Iam currently involved in is regarding the 7T- MRI study here at the Beckman Institute. We are working on gathering data through clinical trials regarding the working memory of individuals. This would hold the potential ofbringing out a 7-T fMRI machine in the field of medicine. My hobbies consist of reading fantasy and mystery novels, as well as painting on the Quad. I love neuroscience because it is such a fascinating mystery, and every time I am learning about the brain, my intrigue for it grows and questions upon questions pop in my head that I want to expand my knowledge on.
