Dr. Blazejewska’s research focuses on combining high-resolution anatomical and functional imaging to study the relationships between tissue microstructure and function in the healthy and diseased brain. She is interested in developing the next generation of methodologies allowing for microstructure-informed, cortical depth-resolved fMRI and applying them to study various functions of the human brain.
