Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping
Canada's National Ultra-High Field MRI Platform
The Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping (CFMM) at Western’s Robarts Research Institute houses Canada’s only collection of high-field (3T human) and ultra-high field (7T human; 9.4T and 15.2T small animal) MR systems. The Centre is dedicated to establishing the anatomical, metabolic and functional characteristics of normal brain development and healthy aging across the lifespan; as well as establishing the brain basis of developmental, neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative deficits. Contact us at cfmm-bookings@uwo.ca to schedule time for your 3T or 7T study.
