I am a physician-scientist with the NYU Langone Comprehensive Epilepsy Center and Center for Cognitive Neurology, Principal Investigator of the NYU Memory and Neuromodulation Laboratory, and Investigator at the NYU Neuroscience Institute. As a physician, I care for adult patients with epilepsy, memory and cognitive disorders. I aim to provide compassionate, thorough, and cutting-edge care to patients while supporting their families.Patient care directly guides and grounds my research program. Memory dysfunction is the most common and debilitating cognitive complaint in people with epilepsy and many neurodegenerative disorders. Seizures and related abnormal electrical activity can “hijack” the brain’s memory circuits, and thus disrupt normal memory function.My lab’s mission is to translate the insights gained from basic and cognitive neuroscience of memory for clinical benefit. We are developing novel, naturalistic paradigms to create more sensitive and precise measures of memory function, based on eye movements and speech patterns, to detect the earliest stages of cognitive impairment. We are combining these measures with high-resolution hippocampal recordings to understand what happens in the brain when we remember and when we forget.
