Douglas L. Rosene, PhD
Professor, Anatomy & Neurobiology

Biography
My research interests are the neurobiological basis of learning, memory, and cognitive dysfunction in normal aging as well recovery of function after neurological insults to the brain such as stroke. These studies use multidisciplinary methods including assessment of behavioral and cognitive function, neural imaging of the brain with MRI, and analysis of neuronal function and organization with neurophysiological, neurohistochemical, neuropharmacological and neuroanatomical methods. The majority of studies utilize non-human primate models of aging, stroke, brain injury and cerebrovascular disease as well as a rat model of prenatal malnutrition.
