Biography
Dr. Bookheimer’s research examines the neuroanatomy of higher cognitive functions- specifically, understanding how memory and language functions are organized in the human brain in health and disease.
The laboratory focuses on functional neuroimaging techniques (functional magnetic resonance imaging, Positron Emission Tomography, and optical intrinsic signal imaging), in combination with invasive techniques (electrocorticography and intracarotid amobarbitol (Wada) testing ) to develop an integrated knowledge of language and memory representations in normal humans and those with neurological and psychiatric disorders affecting language and memory.
A large focus of research activity involves developing this new technology into tools that can benefit patients with developmental and neurological disorders.
