“Imaging insights informing the biology of compulsive behaviors in Parkinson’s disease”

I am a board-certified Neurologist who specializes in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by disruptions to cognition, behavior, and movement. My research efforts focus on neurodegeneration, where I elucidate treatment effects on brain and behavior, especially Parkinson’s Disease and Huntington’s disease. Current studies assess therapeutic outcomes in neurodegenerative disorders, using innovative cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging tools. In Parkinson disease, this work focuses on how dopaminergic medications can alter behavior, assessing cognitive changes that account for impulsive compulsive behaviors. Multimodal imaging studies include assessments of blood flow (arterial spin labeling), resting state BOLD connectivity, MR spectroscopy, and Positron Emission Tomography, as well as cognitive neuroscience tools assessing medication effects on risk, reward-learning, and impulsivity. I am active in experimental therapeutics, performing clinical trials testing disease modifying and novel therapeutic interventions in neurodegenerative disorders

Learning objectives:

Define areas of new neuroscience knowledge and research

Identify Clinicopathologic (CPC) correlations of neurologic disease

Illuminate areas of practice-based improvement within the neurosciences based on advancing scientific research or Practice-based improvement projects.
