Hilleke Hulshoff-Pol’s research focuses on structural and functional brain plasticity throughout life in health and in psychiatric disorders, particularly in relation to genetic and environmental influences. She studies individuals and their twin siblings, using magnetic resonance imaging at (ultra) high field. Brain plasticity is measured as changes over time in brain volume, cortical thickness and structural and functional network connectivity using longitudinal approaches in children, adolescents and adults.
