Research Description

Jun Wang is professor of cognitive neuroscience at BNU, and vice dean of the Faculty of Psychology & deputy director of the IMIBR-BNU & director of JoLii. She joined BNU and the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning in 2007. Her research mainly focuses on the structural and functional networks of the human brain using multi-modality imaging techniques, especially in stroke, AD, MCI patients and aging people. She is currently involved in several national and international projects, and served as the members of ISMRM, OHBM & SFN, grant reviewer of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), reviewers of Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association, Experimental Brain Research, Journal of Advances in Psychological Science, Acta Psychological Sinica, Acta Electronica Sinica and associate editor for Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
