History of the Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance
Written by Lise Skjold AndersenIn 1985 the DRCMR was inaugurated thanks to a generous donation from the flamboyant travel agency owner Simon Spies of a 1.5 tesla magnetic resonance scanner to Hvidovre Hospital – the first MRI scanner in Denmark.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating and neurodegenerative disease causing widespread tissue damage in the brain and spinal cord. This disease is the leading cause of non-traumatic neurological disability among young adults. MRI plays a key role in the diagnosis, management and research of MS.
Transcranial Brain Stimulation (TBS) can influence the ongoing electrical activity of the human brain.
As of 2015, the DRCMR operates one of the strongest MR scanners worldwide and the only one of its caliber in Denmark. The purchase of ths state-of-the-art MR system from Phillips Healthcare was made possible by the John and Birthe Meyer Foundation and the Danish Agence for Science, Technology and Innovation.
Our primary research interest concerns the brain’s reward system. Put simply: how does it work, and why? We explore computational theories that constrain how it should work and then test the predictions of these theories against behavioural, physiological, and neuroimaging data.
The Movement Disorders group bridges clinical, computational and cognitive neuroscience in combination with brain stimulation to advance the pathophysiological understanding of movement disorders.
Combining neuroimaging, neuromodulation and computational modelling of sensorimotor networks, the Control of Movement (CoMo) group studies how the brain orchestrates movements.
