Moulton, Theresa Sukal
Assistant Professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
Description of Interests
The work that I do and collaborate on involves the development of selective motor control over the lifespan for people with spastic cerebral palsy. We study the relationship between early brain injury... [more]
Murphey, Todd
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Description of Interests
Todd Murphey’s current research focuses on computational methods in dynamics and control and using those methods to investigate biological locomotion and tactile exploration. His work includes develop... [more]
Norton, Elizabeth
Associate Professor and Charles Deering McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence, Communication Sciences and Disorders
Description of Interests
My research focuses on understanding typical reading and language development as well as developmental and learning disabilities, including dyslexia, developmental language disorder, and autism spectr... [more]
Nusslock, Robin
Associate Professor of Psychology
Description of Interests
My research program uses neuroscientific methods to examine order and disorder in the emotional brain. Specifically, we use neurophysiology (electroencephalography, event-related potentials) and both ... [more]
Opal, Puneet
Professor of Neurology
Description of Interests
The long-term goal of my laboratory is to understand the cellular basis of neurodegeneration. We are testing the idea that neurodegeneration results from derangements in relatively few but strategic s... [more]
Oudega, Martin
Professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
Description of Interests
The lab is interested in understanding and developing treatments for the anatomical and functional consequences of spinal cord injury. We have a special interest in the immune response and vasculariza... [more]
Ozdinler, Hande
Associate Professor of Neurology
Description of Interests
Our lab is interested in the biology and pathology of upper motor neurons, the neuron population that displays progressive degeneration in ALS, HSP and PLS patients. We reveal the underlying causes of... [more]
Paller, Ken
Professor of Psychology and James Padilla Chair in Arts & Sciences
Description of Interests
Human Memory, Perception, and Consciousness; Biological Bases of Mental Phenomena; Sleep and Dreaming; Cognitive Neuroscience
Parisiadou, Loukia
Assistant Professor of Pharmacology
Description of Interests
Our laboratory studies the molecular basis of Parkinson's disease (PD) with a focus on the cellular and molecular pathways dysregulated by PD-linked genes such as α-synuclein and LRRK2. Our long-term ... [more]
Parker, Jones
Assistant Professor of Neuroscience and Pharmacology
Description of Interests
Our lab uses state-of-the art tools to image and manipulate circuits related to the dopamine system. We are principally interested in dopamine influences neural coding of spontaneous and motivated beh... [more]
