Status: Archived
Dr. Andrew James received his doctorate in Neuroscience from the University of Florida, where he used functional MRI to model age-related changes in networks governing motor learning. In 2006, he accepted a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Xiaoping Hu of Emory University, where he pursued a variety of methodologically challenging neuroimaging projects such as taste perception of artificial sweeteners, motor network reorganization following a stroke, and modeling individual differences in depressed patients’ emotion-regulating networks. In 2009, Dr. James joined the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in the College of Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). As an associate professor in the Brain Imaging Research Center (BIRC), he seeks to understand how brain activity encodes individual variability in personality and cognition. By understanding how the healthy brain encodes cognition, he seeks to translate this technology to better inform clinical decision making for individual patients.
