Dr. Devous is past president of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Education and Research Foundation, on the Board of Directors of the Academy of Radiology Research, and former chair of the Medical Imaging Drugs Advisory Committee for the Food and Drug Administration. His research is topographically organized into four areas: 1) investigating the biologic underpinnings of psychiatric and neurologic disorders through functional brain imaging techniques; 2) studies of normal brain function using functional brain imaging techniques; 3) three-dimensional models for the extraction and analysis of functional brain imaging data; and 4) physiologic investigations of the sequelae of CNS pathology in animal models. This includes extensive experience in using functional brain imaging to investigate psychiatric disorders (anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, dementia, mood disorders, schizophrenia and substance abuse), neurologic disorders (arteriovenous malformation, cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy and head trauma) and speech and communication disorders (aphasia, deafness, spasmodic dysphonia and stuttering).
