He became a specialist in neurology and has worked at Washington University in St. Louis since 1972 . Here he is (as of 2014) Professor of Radiology , Neurology, Neurobiology and Biomedical Engineering .
Raichle is considered a pioneer in the functional representation of the nervous system. He researched numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders using positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure regional cerebral blood flow . His work provides the basis for the Human Connectome Project and led to the discovery of the Default Mode Network .
Other work deals with brain activity in normal processes such as speaking, memory or emotion.
