Description of Research

Summary Statement of Research Interests
|
Hanna Damasio pioneered the use of brain imaging methods in the study of brain lesions, such as computerized tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, which can be used for diagnosing all of the diseases that affect the brain. She is director of the USC Dana and David Dornsife Cognitive Neuroscience Imaging Center.
A standard reference in the field, the second edition of Damasio's detailed atlas of the human brain based on computerized images, Human Brain Anatomy in Computerized Images, was published this past May. Her award-winning book Lesion Analysis in Neuropsychology is widely used by neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists, as well as, medical and neuroscience students. She is the author of numerous papers on the neuroanatomical substrates of higher brain function.
