Jay Alberts Laboratory

Research

Overview

The aim of my research is to understand structure-function relationships within the central nervous system and the upper extremity. In particular, my research is focused on determining how grasping forces and torques are controlled and coordinated during functional dexterous manipulations. Investigation of movement patterns produced by different patient groups and healthy adults provides a window into the brain and the control of voluntary movement.

Our current studies work with Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients to determine the role of the basal ganglia in movement control. For instance, we have shown that unilateral deep brain stimulation provides long-term bilateral motor benefits. We are also evaluating the effects of assisted and voluntary exercise on PD motor function. These studies suggest that assisted exercise increases activation patterns within the brain. The objective and quantitative assessment of motor function will aid in disease diagnostic capability and specificity, disease progression and intervention efficacy for patients in whom movement is compromised.

Watch a video showing how the lab is using immersive virtual reality experience. It uses an omnidirectional treadmill to solve a common problem with virtual reality sickness. We are now testing the platform to see if it could be used to identify Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases, before symptoms start. Learn more.
