Goldrick, Matt
Professor of Linguistics
Description of Interests
I'm interested in the cognitive neuroscience of language. My research utilizes behavioral experiments, formal models, and data from electrophysiology to build theories of the cognitive and neural mech... [more]
Gordon, Keith
Assistant Professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
Description of Interests
My research focuses on understanding the principles governing neuromechanical control of human locomotion and applying this knowledge to promote walking recovery following neurological injury. I emplo... [more]
Grafman, Jordan
Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Description of Interests
I am interested in the functions and representations of the human prefrontal cortex. I am also interested in reward and motivation mechanisms in the context of social cognition and learning. Finally, ... [more]
Guemez-Gamboa, Alicia
Assistant Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
The main goal of our lab is to understand how neural circuits assemble during development and disease. We are particularly interested on the genetic causes and cellular mechanisms related to circuit d... [more]
Haase, Claudia
Associate Professor of Human Development and Social Policy and Psychology
Description of Interests
My research program examines age-related changes, sources, and consequences of individual differences in emotion and motivation across the life span in individuals and dyads. My work uses multiple met... [more]
Hartmann, Mitra
Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering
Description of Interests
We are interested in the neuroscience of active sensing behaviors and particularly the sense of touch. We use the rodent whisker (vibrissal) system as a model to gain insight into closed loop sensorim... [more]
He, Congcong
Assistant Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology
Description of Interests
Research in my lab is centered on intracellular quality control mediated by autophagy (“self-eatingâ€), a lysosomal degradation pathway induced by stress conditions such as fasting and exercise. Autoph... [more]
Heckman, CJ
Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
Electrophysiology and computational modeling of spinal sensorimotor neurons and circuits.
Heimberger, Amy
Professor of Neurosurgery
Description of Interests
Our laboratory studies the unique immunobiology of CNS tumors that informs our development of immuno-oncology therapeutics. The laboratory has been intricately involved in a wide variety of bench-to-b... [more]
Hsieh, Jason
Assistant Professor of Neurological Surgery
Description of Interests
I am interested in how widespread regions of the human brain interact to support systems of human neurocognitive behavior, such as language conception and formulation, and memory. With the use of intr... [more]
