Dr. Anderson's research interests are in human cognitive neuropsychology, with emphases in frontal lobe dysfunction, language processing, and cognitive/behavioral rehabilitation. The primary methods involve application of experimental cognitive and behavioral paradigms in patients with circumscribed brain lesions defined by MRI. Current projects are directed at delineating impairments of social behavior and executive function associated with adult- and childhood-onset damage to prefrontal cortex, evaluating the validity of the classical aphasia classification scheme, and investigating the...

Dr. Christensen teaches computer engineering and signal/image processing courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels.  His research interests include image processing, medical imaging, deformable shape models, 3D visualization, computer architecture, and parallel computing.  His research involves developing new image registration methods for customizing electronic anatomical atlases, automatic segmentation, modeling anatomical shape for the characterization of normalcy and disease, and brain mapping.

Expertise: image and statistical analysis

John Kamholz, M.D., Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Neurology, is the director of the Huntington disease (HD) clinic, where he is involved in a number of neuroimaging studies attempting to identify biomarkers for disease progression. These data will be used to establish outcome measures for clinical trials in HD. He is currently the PI in two clinical trials for HD: LEGATO, sponsored by the Huntington Study Group to evaluate a monocloncal antibody to the protein Semaphorin 4B; and SIGNAL, sponsored by TEVA pharmaceuticals to evaluate the compound liquinimod. He is also the director...
