  Sonia Partap

  Clinical Professor, Pediatric Neurology
  Clinical Professor (By courtesy), Neurosurgery
  Clinical Professor (By courtesy), Pediatrics
  

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests involve the epidemiology, treatment and diagnosis of pediatric and young adult brain tumors. I am also interested in long-term neurologic effects and designing clinical trials to treat brain and spinal cord tumors.

  Josef Parvizi, MD, PhD

  Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
  

  BioDr. Parvizi completed his medical internship at Mayo Clinic, neurology training at Harvard, and subspecialty training in clinical neurophysiology and epilepsy at UCLA before joining the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford in 2007. Dr. Parvizi directs the Stanford Program for Medication Resistant Epilepsies and specializes in surgical treatments of intractable focal epilepsies. Dr. Parvizi is the principal investigator in the Laboratory of Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience, where he leads a team of investigators to study the human brain. http://med.stanford.edu/parvizi-lab.html.

  Kathleen Poston, MD, MS

  Edward F. and Irene Thiele Pimley Professor of Neurology and the Neurological Sciences and Professor, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
  

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research addresses one of the most devastating and poorly treated symptoms that can develop in people with Parkinson's disease - Dementia. We use biological markers, multi-modal neuroimaging and genetics to understand the different underlying causes of dementia and to understand why dementia develops more quickly in some patients, but not others.

  David Prince

  Edward F. and Irene Thiele Pimley Professor of Neurology and the Neurological Sciences, Emeritus
  

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsExperiments examine
  1)intrinsic properties of neuronal membranes; actions of neurotransmitters that regulate neocortical and thalamic excitability
  2) chronic epileptogenesis following cortical injury; changes in intracortical connectivity and receptors;
  3) effects of early injury and activity on cortical development/maldevelopment Electrophysiological, anatomical and pharmacological techniques employed.
  4. prophylaxis of postraumatic epilepsy
  5. Neocortical interneuronal function/modulation

  Thomas Rando, MD, PhD

  Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, Emeritus
  

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms regulating stem cell function, the effects of aging on skeletal muscle and skeletal muscle stem cells, and the pathogenesis and experimental therapeutics for hereditary muscle diseases, specifically the muscular dystrophies.

  Lindsey Rasmussen

  Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Critical Care
  Clinical Associate Professor (By courtesy), Adult Neurology
  

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests reside in the field of Neurocritical Care Medicine and stem from my experience developing and directing Stanford's comprehensive Pediatric Neurocritical Care program. I am interested in neuro-prognostication and neuro-monitoring in the pediatric intensive care setting. These interests are integrated clinically to focus on optimal care for pediatric patients with neurologic injury, through specialized nursing and physician care, protocols, and physiologic considerations.

  Babak Razavi, MD, PhD

  Clinical Associate Professor, Adult Neurology
  

  BioDr. Razavi's clinical interests are in medically refractory epilepsies and using high density EEG (electroencephalogram) for better localization of seizure foci. His research areas include using advanced digital signal processing and engineering techniques for analyzing EEG and using seizures as a model for understanding consciousness.
  
  Dr. Razavi is the Founder and Director of DEL - Distributed EEG Lab. DEL's vision is to make EEG easy as 1, 2, 3. We turn complexity into simplicity. We are distributed in time and space. DEL was founded in the spirit of cloud computing, networking, and the notion that research in collaboration is more exciting and fruitful than in isolation. Everyone contributes - no matter how small; everyone wins - no matter how big. It was inspired by the mentorship of Dr. Kimford Meador and Dr. Robert Fisher. All you need is access to a computer and the internet.
  
  DEL is the ideal collaborative environment for students (undergraduate and graduate) and faculty who would like to: (1) apply ready-to-use advanced analytical techniques to test specific hypotheses in cognition, neuroscience and epilepsy, and (2) develop and test new algorithms for analyzing EEG and other biological signals.
