Research summary
AI-generated

Yu-Chien Wu develops and applies advanced brain imaging methods, especially diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (a technique for mapping the brain's microscopic tissue structure and neural connections), to study how the brain changes with aging and disease. Much of the work focuses on Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain injury, and the effects of conditions like hypertension on the brain's white matter and blood flow. Studies span both human participants and animal models.

Publication activity has been steady and relatively high over the past decade, peaking around 2023, with recent years reflecting normal reporting lags.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
