NeuroHealth
Translating neuroscience discoveries into treatments
Understanding the brain in health and disease will improve treatments for ourselves and our loved ones. Our clinical scientists not only treat patients, but are also working with basic scientists to pioneer novel treatments for psychiatric and neurological disease. Ongoing research aims to reverse brain aging, ease the devastating consequences of stroke, and develop non-invasive treatments to modulate brain activity associated with epilepsy and other neurological diseases. Breakthrough improvements in brain and mental health benefit not just individuals, but society as a whole.

Funded Research - Neuro-AI Grant
This project aims to track cognitive decline in Parkinson’s patients by measuring and modeling how patients explore the world with their eyes. The long-term goal of this project is to set a foundation for minimally-invasive and sensitive measures for diagnosing and tracking neurodegenerative diseases.
