Kent Kiehl’s laboratory has worked diligently along with correctional facilities
|
||
in New Mexico and beyond to establish the world’s largest database of brain data
|
||
from incarcerated populations. We utilize a state of the art mobile scanning
|
||
unit which can be deployed to remote locations, reaching populations for which
|
||
functional brain imaging might otherwise be impossible or severely impractical.
|
||
These resources and relationships have been instrumental in the investigation of
|
||
mental health issues that are particularly prevalent in those who are
|
||
incarcerated, including psychopathy, antisocial personality disorder, substance
|
||
abuse, and externalizing disorders. We maintain several ongoing projects with an
|
||
overall goal of achieving a better understanding of the interaction between
|
||
brain function, genetics, and environmental factors ultimately informing
|
||
improved interventions and prevention strategies and promoting better mental
|
||
health as a whole. |
