Statement:
Our laboratory has three ongoing research projects. The first involves the application of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map the neural systems supporting motor control, motor timing, and time perception in normal subjects and patients with Parkinson's Disease. Recently completed studies have provided new insights into the role of the basal ganglia in temporal information processing. Other studies have demonstrated the contributions of the posterior parietal lobe in the programming of sequential finger movements. A second project involves the application of fMRI to the neural systems supporting higher cognitive functions, including working memory, conceptual reasoning, and attention, in intact human subjects and adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Huntington's Disease. This work has emphasized the role of basal ganglia-thalmocortical circuits in executive processes. A third project involves the longitudinal investigation of cognitive, neurological, and neuroimaging changes observed in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.

I sincerely apologize that we have a long-standing and unresolved problem that users are unable to modify the database contents using their logins and passwords. I hope that we can fix this problem soon. In the meantime, I will try to do this manually as best I can.
