Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Josiah K. Leong's research focuses on the application of biostatistical methods to neuroscience, particularly in areas related to brain structure, function, and behavior. His work has investigated the relationship between brain imaging data, such as magnetic resonance imaging, and various behavioral outcomes, including risk preference, externalizing problems, and relapse to stimulant drug use. Leong has contributed to studies examining specific brain regions like the nucleus accumbens and white matter, and their roles in human behavior across different age groups, from adolescence to adulthood.

He has also been involved in projects developing and utilizing computational platforms for neuroscience research, such as the brainlife.io cloud platform. His publications explore topics including the radiogenomics of genetic expansion carriers, the prediction of thalamic atrophy, and the analysis of socioaffective symptoms related to reward circuitry. Leong's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 11 with 34 publications and 470 citations. He has collaborated with researchers like Zach J. Gray and Jennifer C. Veilleux at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
