 I am interested in the role the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex play in memory and sensory gating in schizophrenia, temporal-lobe epilepsy and other disorders. Currently, my laboratory studies lateralized hippocampal function and fronto-temporal functional and anatomical connectivity. We do so using multimodal neuroimaging (MEG, EEG, fMRI, and DTI) of individuals performing behavioral tasks specific to hippocampal and prefrontal cortex function, such as the transverse patterning problem and the virtual Morris water task. Because these particular tasks were originally employed in nonhuman animal research, we are able to compare our human neuroimaging data to the large amount of animal data acquired using these same tasks. In collaboration with researchers at MRN and the New Mexico VA Health Care System, we are also investigating the neural networks underlying sensory gating impairments in schizophrenia.
