Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Research Lab: Steven M. Greenberg, MD, PhD
Research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), a cause of cerebral hemorrhage in the elderly.
Chemical Genomics of Neuropsychiatric & Neurological Disease - Haggarty Laboratory
The Chemical Genomics Laboratory (CGL) is unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying neuroplasticity to develop novel, targeted therapeutics for the treatment of neuropsychiatric and neurological diseases.
Cortical Physiology Laboratory - Sydney S. Cash, MD, PhD
We combine microelectrode and macroelectrode recording and computing techniques to study brain activity, mechanisms for brain machine interface, and the neurophysiology of epilepsy.
Laboratory for Neuroanatomy and Cerebellar Neurobiology, Jeremy D. Schmahmann, MD
I am interested in the structure and function of the cerebellum, and in the cerebral and cerebellar roles in cognition and emotion. We perform neuroanatomical tract tracing studies in monkey; structural and functional MRI and PET in patients and controls; and we treat and study patients with ataxia and/or cognitive disorders.
Mass General Epilepsy Research Laboratory, Daniel Hoch, MD, PhD, and Sydney S. Cash, MD, PhD
The Mass General Epilepsy Research Laboratory researches the anatomical, biochemical and physiological consequences of abnormal neuronal activity.
MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease (MIND)
The MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease (MIND) is poised to change the future for people with Alzheimer’s, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s), Huntington’s, Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. The Institute was established to accelerate research discoveries that will lead to treatment and cures – sooner, rather than later.
Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory: Michael A. Schwarzschild, MD, PhD
The Schwarzschild lab targets three purines — adenosine, caffeine and urate — in pursuit of improved therapy for Parkinson’s and related neurodegenerative diseases.
Neurogenetics DNA Diagnostic Laboratory
The Neurogenetics DNA Diagnostic Laboratory conducts standard-setting molecular DNA diagnostic testing for over 25 rare neurodegenerative disorders.
Neurology Clinical Trials Unit
The Neurology Clinical Trials Unit (NCTU) staff works with patients of Mass General-and their families-to inform them about clinical research studies conducted at Mass General and affiliated organizations.
Pediatric Epilepsy Research Lab: Kevin J. Staley, MD
The Pediatric Epilepsy Research Lab studies how neuronal ion transport and synaptic plasticity alter the spread of epileptic activity in neural networks.
Stroke Service Research
Clinical stroke research is critical to the prevention and treatment of this disabling disease. Our research may take the form of clinical trials, or studies that follow patients over time.
TRANSCEND Research Laboratory, Martha Herbert, MD, PhD
TRANSCEND. Treatment Research and NeuroSCience Evaluation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders.
