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]
Patel, Sachin
Professor of Psychiatry
Description of Interests
The Patel Lab’s research program focuses on the role of endocannabinoids in stress-induced neuroadaptation. Psychosocial stress is a key trigger for the development and exacerbation of a variety of ps... [more]
Patel, Reesha
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Description of Interests
Our goal is to understand how neuroimmune signaling and social factors impact neural circuits and behavior, and if we can harness immune mechanisms to reprogram circuits to treat neuropsychiatric diso... [more]
Penzes, Peter
Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
Our mission is to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms whereby neurons communicate with each other within brain circuits, how they malfunction in neuropsychiatric disorders, and to use this k... [more]
Perez, Monica
Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
Description of Interests
Dr. Perez is the Scientific Chair of the Arms + Hands Lab at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, a Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Northwestern University, and a Resear... [more]
Perreault, Eric
Professor of Biomedical Engineering
Description of Interests
Research in our group focuses on understanding the neural and biomechanical factors involved in the normal control of multi-joint movement and posture and how these factors are modified following neur... [more]
Pinkett, Heather
Associate Professor, Molecular Biosciences
Description of Interests
ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters work as molecular pumps to transport substrates across cellular membranes. Represented in all organisms, ABC proteins are divided into two classes (i) exporters... [more]
Pinto, Lucas
Assistant Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
We are interested in the neurobiological mechanisms underlying cognition, both at the local circuit level and in terms of large-scale interactions between different brain areas. In particular, the lab... [more]
