About the Lab
Content
The Maheshwari Lab is interested in understanding the basic mechanisms underlying how the brain normally functions and how dysfunction in these processes leads to neuropsychiatric diseases such as epilepsy and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Our research studies normal mice as well as mice with genetic mutations that lead to neuropsychiatric disease. We use electrodes just over the surface of mouse brain to monitor activity both during and between seizures and while mice are challenged with behavioral tasks.
We also take these same approaches to evaluate patients with seizures who are monitored in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit.
