Nimhans part of largest intercontinental brain study

Recently, a series of brain charts documenting the entire human lifespan from a 15-week-old-fetus to a 100-year-old-adult showing how human brains expand rapidly in early life and steadily shrink as people age has been published online. The study was conducted by a team of international as well as Indian researchers from across six continents.

The Indian researchers who are part of the project and contributed to the Indian dataset are from the Consortium on Vulnerability to Externalising Disorders and Addictions [cVEDA] led by scientists from the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Dr Bharath Holla from the Department of Integrative Medicine and Vivek Benegal from the Department of Psychiatry, Nimhans.
