Abstract

Martha Shenton is Professor in Psychiatry and Radiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital (MA, USA) and the founding director of the Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory at Harvard Medical School (MA, USA). She is also a Health Scientist at the VA Boston Healthcare System (MA, USA). For many years, Shenton and her team have been developing and applying MRI techniques to the study of schizophrenia, and she is now beginning to turn her attention to advancing our understanding of the previously neglected disorder of mild traumatic brain injury using advanced MRI techniques. Shenton has authored over 300 peer-reviewed empirical articles and proceedings and has received numerous awards throughout her career.
