THE INTERSECTION OF NEUROSCIENCE & NEUROLOGY
The Cregg Lab recently opened in the Departments of Neuroscience & Neurology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In the Cregg Lab, we focus on understanding brainstem circuits and their critical role in motor control. Our team employs cutting-edge techniques to dissect brainstem motor circuits in sophisticated anatomical, molecular, and functional detail. Our work aims to enhance our comprehension of the neural circuitry controlling movement, and offer insights into movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.
Highlights
Our Research
The brainstem connects higher brain functions to the spinal cord for movement execution. Our research aims to understand how brainstem motor circuits are organized. This knowledge could lead to new treatments for movement disorders in humans.
The next generation of neuroscientists
Our team aims to harness the strength of diversity, welcoming individuals from varied backgrounds and skillsets toward an innovative research environment.
