Instructor of Neurosurgery
Dr. Yousef Salimpour is a neuroscientist with a background in biomedical engineering. His research focuses on understanding how the human brain’s network changes in the course of neurological disease, and how neuro-modulation, such as brain stimulation, could be used to restore normal function. He is currently working on a novel brain stimulation technique for treating movement disorders, Parkinson’s disease, and epilepsy.
current projects:
Neurobiology of Behavior and Neurological Disorders: use of human electrophysiology including brain recordings from patients with epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease to study memory and learning
Brain Stimulation: using novel neuro-modulation techniques for treating neurological disorders such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease
Device developed at Hopkins could aid Parkinson’s disease symptoms
