Overarching Mission of the Gerhardt Laboratory:

The Major mission of the Gerhardt Lab is to develop Brain Machine Interface (BMI) medical technologies involving implantations of catheters (Parkinson’s studies), microelectrodes (MEA’s for chemical and electrophysiological recordings) and combined closed-loop technologies for the understanding and treatment of brain disorders.

Parkinson’s Disease:

The Gold lab explores neurocognitive changes associated with human aging. We study the effects of structural and functional brain changes on cognition in aging and age-related disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, we study the effects of lifestyle variables (e.g., exercise, cognitive stimulation) on brain aging.
