Akiva S. Cohen, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Neurology
Dr. Cohen's principal research interest is focused on the fundamental cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie cognitive impairments associated with traumatic brain injury. His laboratory is primarily concerned with alterations in neuronal excitability in the limbic system of the brain. This system has been shown to play a primary role in higher cognitive function, e.g., learning and memory, and is damaged in traumatic brain injury. Dr. Cohen's laboratory incorporates a variety of techniques to understand the nature and functional consequences of injury-induced alterations.
