  Cork, Linda 
  Academic Appointments

  • Professor, Comparative Medicine
  • Member, Bio-X
  Research Interest

  My research interests focus on inherited neurologic disease in animals and on animal models of aging and neurodegerative diseases such as Motor Neuron Disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease) and Alzheimer's disease.

  • Associate Professor, Comparative Medicine
  Research Interest

  My lab looks at the organization and function of central neural pathways that underlie directed manual behavior. We are specifically interested in how these pathways adapt following injury, and use a combination of approaches in monkeys to identify mechanisms mediating neural reorganization and behavioral recovery.

  Hestrin, Shaul 
  Academic Appointments

  • Associate Professor, Comparative Medicine
  Research Interest

  The main interest of my lab is to understand how the properties of neocortical neurons and the circuits they form give rise to cortical activity and function. Our approach includes recordings from multiple cells, calcium imaging, two-photon imaging and viral-based optogenetic methods to activate cortical neurons as well as cortical afferents.
