About the Department
The Motor Neurophysiology Laboratory in the Department of
Neurology, directed by Scott Cooper, PhD, MD, is an NIH-funded
research program that studies the extrapyramidal motor system in
human subjects with an emphasis on disease states and neurosurgical
therapies. The lab's focus is on the basal ganglia (BG) and on
Parkinson's disease (PD) with most of the work centered on deep
brain stimulation (DBS). DBS is used as a tool to understand BG
physiology and, especially, PD pathophysiology; in addition, DBS
therapeutic mechanisms are a major subject of investigation. The
research has a strong translational slant aimed at developing
improved approaches to DBS and neuromodulation.More info on the
Motor Neurophysiology Laboratory is available here:

NIH-funded Udall Center of Excellence for Parkinson's Disease
Research. Info available here: https://udall.umn.edu/
