  Kathleen Rockland

  Research Professor, Anatomy & Neurobiology

  Dr. Rockland received her doctorate at Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine (1979), working on feedforward and feedback cortical connections with Dr. Deepak Pandya. She completed postdoctoral studies on patchy horizontal intrinsic collaterals with Jennifer Lund at the Medical University of South Carolina, and began an independent laboratory in 1983 at the E.K. Shriver Center […]

  Travis Rotterman

  Assistant Professor of Pharmacology, Physiology & Biophysics

  While moving through our ever-changing physical world we rely on the recruitment of neural circuits throughout the central nervous system. Embedded among composite parts of the neuromotor system, the spinal cord plays intriguing roles exemplified by its independent capacity to generate complex movements like grooming and stumbling corrections. Regardless of origin, all neuromotor instructions for […]

  Jean-Pierre Roussarie

  Assistant Professor, Anatomy & Neurobiology

  The Roussarie lab is interested in deciphering the molecular events leading to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. Like most neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer’s affects only very specific sets of neurons in its earliest stages. These neurons are located in the entorhinal cortex, a brain region indispensable for new memory formation. Dr. Roussarie thinks that understanding the particularities […]

  Shelley Russek

  Professor, Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics

  The Russek Laboratory's chief interests surround a desire to understand how the dynamic regulation of neurotransmitter receptors in the brain shapes the development of the nervous system and how the re-establishment of developmental processes in the adult brain can precipitate neurologic and neuropsychiatric diseases. The identification of gene families with multiple genes that code for […]

  Karin Schon

  Associate Professor, Anatomy & Neurobiology

  Prof. Schon’s research interests currently focus on investigating the role of aerobic exercise as a modulator of cognitive function and brain health in aging and Alzheimer’s disease in humans. She uses functional and structural MRI, behavioral and exercise physiology methods, and biomarker assays. Additional research topics include: Cognitive neuroimaging of human memory, brain plasticity, medial […]

  Ben Scott

  Assistant Professor, Psychological & Brain Sciences

  My research interest is to develop and apply new technologies to study the neural basis of cognition and complex learned behavior. My approach involves a combination of two fields. The first is biomedical engineering, particularly the development of novel optical imaging and genetic methods to observe and perturb the activity of neurons in their native […]

  Kamal Sen

  Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering

  How do neurons in the brain encode complex natural sounds? What are the neural substrates of selectivity for and discrimination of different categories of natural sounds? Are these substrates innate or shaped by learning? Our laboratory investigates these questions with a focus on auditory cortex. Electrophysiological techniques are used to record neural responses from hierarchical […]
