The BC Children's Hospital MRI Research Facility operates on a cost-recovery basis, and is managed by a team of multidisciplinary experts who support investigators from the Lower Mainland as well as researchers from across Canada.

Research projects at the MRI Research Facility over the past year include:

• Typical and atypical visual brain development (D. Giaschi)
• Networks underlying cognitive impairment and non-pharmaceutical interventions in schizophrenia (T. Woodward)
• Early brain structure and function in newborn infants with prenatal exposure to maternal depressed mood and antidepressant medication (T. Oberlander)
• Language localization and lateralization in children with autism spectrum disorder (A. Bailey)
• Neuroimaging of children with pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorders (E. Stewart)
• Structural and functional brain differences in children with developmental coordination disorder (J. Zwicker)
• Brain changes following intervention for dyslexia (D. Giaschi)
• Language mapping for planning of pediatric epilepsy surgery (B. Bjornson)
• Traumatic brain injury in adolescent athletes (N. Virji-Babul)
• Effects of air pollution on cognition (C. Carlsten)
• Synergizing-omics to discover treatable intellectual disabilities (C. van Karnebeek)
• Measures of cartilage health in Perthes disease (K. Mulpuri)
• Perception-action coupling in infancy (N. Virji-Babul)
• Predicting treatment response in depression (R. Lam)
