David, Fabian
Research Associate Professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
Description of Interests
My current research focus is on the therapeutic effects of deep brain stimulation surgery and the neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie these effects in persons with Parkinson’s disease.
Davidson, Shawn
Assistant Professor of Medicine - Pulmonary and Critical Care
Description of Interests
My research focuses on the intersection of metabolism and neuroscience, particularly how metabolic dysfunctions contribute to neurodegenerative diseases. I employ spatial metabolomics to dissect cell-... [more]
DeCaen, Paul
Assistant Professor of Pharmacology
Description of Interests
Pharmacology of neuronal targets and the structural biophysics of ion channels
DeVries, Steve
Professor of Ophthalmology
Description of Interests
We study signal processing in both the outer and inner retina. In the outer retina, we focus on how signals are transformed at the cone photoreceptor to Off bipolar cell synapse. My lab was the first ... [more]
Dewald, Julius P
Professor and Chair of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
Description of Interests
Our Neuroimaging and Motor Control Laboratories are dedicated to understanding motor recovery following stroke, in learning the role of brain plasticity in recovery, and in developing novel therapeuti... [more]
Dhar, Sumit
Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders
Description of Interests
Our current work has two main directions. We are interested in understanding the physiological mechanisms responsible for the generation and propagation of sounds that are generated in the inner ear a... [more]
Dombeck, Daniel
Professor of Neurobiology
Description of Interests
The neuronal activity underlying mammalian spatial navigation represents one of the most striking examples of behavioral correlation in the brain. Dr. Dombeck’s lab is interested in the cellular and c... [more]
Dong, Hongxin
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Description of Interests
Laboratory of Translational Neurobiology led by Dr. Dong focuses on the interaction of genetic and environmental influences on aging and their relevance to the neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly... [more]
