Neural Mode Switch in the Nervous System as a Way to Control Seizures
神经系统模式切换用以控制癫痫
John R. Huguenard, Ph.D.
Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences
Stanford University School of Medicine
Dr. John R. Huguenard is a professor of neurology, of neurosurgery and, by courtesy, of molecular and cellular physiology at Stanford University. He is also a senior editor of the Journal of Neuroscience. Dr. Huguenard got his bachelor’s degree in pharmacology from Purdue University in 1979, and his doctoral degree from Duke University in 1983. His lab is interested in the neuronal mechanisms that underlie synchronous oscillatory activity in the thalamus, cortex and the massively interconnected thalamocortical system. Such oscillations are related to cognitive processes, normal sleep activities and certain forms of epilepsy. They use experimental techniques ranging from biophysical studies of single ion channels to in vivo recording to purely theoretical studies of network synchrony. Dr. Huguenard has received many academic awards, including Javits Merit Award from NINDS/NIH and Research Recognition Award from American Epilepsy Society.
