PCOM researchers study a variety of neurological and neurodegenerative conditions,
including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, multiple sclerosis, spinal and bulbar
muscular atrophy, seizures, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), concussion, brain
cancer, visual dysfunction, substance use disorder, metal toxicity, autism spectrum
disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The purpose of their research is to identify factors that affect the development,
function, viability, pathogenesis and regeneration of nervous tissue, and their impact
on perception, behavior and quality of life. Our researchers also examine the outcomes
of various forms of treatment from pharmacological approaches to cognitive behavioral
therapy.
