Department ofNeurologyNeurology concerns itself with the diseases of brain, spinalcord, peripheral nerves and muscles. An introduction to theanatomy and physiology of the nervous system is presentedin the first-year neuroscience course by faculty from theDepartment of Neuroscience (http://neurosci.wustl.edu), withparticipation of faculty from the Department of Neurology(http://neuro.wustl.edu). A first-year selective titled ClinicalCorrelations in Neurosciences (FYSelect 5017) is available,which is an opportunity for interested students to shadowphysicians in neuro-related fields and attend basic scienceor clinical conferences. Another first-year selective titledAlzheimer's Disease (AD) in the Clinic and the Lab is alsoavailable, which is an opportunity for interested students toget an overview of the most exciting areas of AD clinical andscience research. In the second year, the Department ofNeurology presents the course Diseases of the Nervous System(Neurol 632) in conjunction with the departments of Pathology &Immunology (http://pathology.wustl.edu), Neurosurgery (http://neurosurgery.wustl.edu) and Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences(http://ophthalmology.wustl.edu). The course emphasizesthe pathophysiology, pathology, clinical manifestations andtreatment of the major neurological and neurosurgical diseases.The department also participates in the Practice of Medicinecourse, providing lectures, demonstrations and teachingexercises with patients in neurological physical diagnosis.

ResearchM35 Neurol 900In the fourth year, opportunities exist for many varieties ofadvanced clinical or research experience.

Beau Ances, MDTaylor Avenue Building Extension, 2nd FloorPhone: 314-747-8423Neuroimaging of Neurodegenerative Disorders. Studentscan work in a neuroimaging laboratory that is focused on

translational discovery of neuroimaging biomarkers forneurodegenerative diseases. The laboratory focuses on thepathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and HIV-associatedneurocognitive disorders (HAND). We are investigating theeffects of neurodegenerative diseases on brain network levelusing functional (blood oxygen level dependent imaging, arterialspin labeling), structural (volumetrics, diffusion tensor imaging),and metabolic (PET amyloid and tau). Multiple projects thatinvolve bioengineering, neuroimaging, and infectious disease areavailable depending on the interest of the student.

Randall Bateman, MDBiotechnology Center, Room 304Phone: 314-747-7066Central nervous system protein metabolism in aging anddementia. This research elective will expose the student totranslational research in the study of Alzheimer's disease. Thestudent will participate in multiple areas of the research includingparticipant consent, enrollment, and admission to a researchhospital unit. Lumbar catheter placement and CSF samplecollection will be demonstrated. The student will participate insample analysis including processing for mass spectrometryquantitation, ELISA, and western gel methods. Quantitation,analysis and modeling of the data will be taught in the context ofdata interpretation and study design.

Anne H. Cross, MD, and Laura Piccio, MD, PhDMcMillan, 3rd FloorPhone: 314-747-4591 or 314-747-0405Understanding interactions of the immune system with thecentral nervous system as it relates to multiple sclerosis andother neuroimmunological disorders. Our goal is to understandhow immune cells cross the blood-brain barrier and initiate thecascade of events leading to lesions of multiple sclerosis. Weare also funded to study the effects of diet and adipokines onneuroinflammation. Depending upon the time commitment ofthe student and their individual interests and goals, they willeither assist with ongoing projects or be given a laboratoryproject on which to work. Projects may involve animal modelsfor MS, cell culture or studies of human samples (CSF,blood, autopsied specimens). Interested students shouldcontact Dr. Cross ([email protected]) or Dr. Piccio([email protected]) several weeks in advance beforesigning up for this research to allow for sufficient planning.

Robert T. Naismith, MDMcMillan, Room 310BPhone: 314-747-0432Clinical Imaging Research in Multiple Sclerosis (8 weeks). Thestudent will learn about neuroimaging, imaging analyses, datacollection, data management, and clinical study endpoints inmultiple sclerosis (MS). They will observe patient participantsundergoing a detailed evaluation of disability measures, such asambulation, symptom scales, cognition, vision, upper extremityfunction, etc. They will witness the entire process of imageacquisition, processing, analyses, and data extraction. They


2

will have the opportunity to interact with many people who arevital to the research, including research coordinators, imagingtechnologists, imaging physicists/chemists, and specializedresearch clinicians (i.e., neurocognitive and physical therapyresearch specialists).

The student will assist with hands-on clinical investigativeresearch. They will gain an excellent appreciation of MS, fromits pathophysiology within the central nervous system, to how itaffects the neurological function of individuals. Through detailedand quantitative imaging analysis, the student will becomevery adept at analyzing brain MRI scans. They will mark andtrack lesions, determine their effects on clinical function, normalappearing white matter, cortex and gray-matter structures. Theywill become familiar with Amira Imaging Analysis Software,SPSS Statistical Analysis Software, SIENA Volume AnalysisSoftware, and Matlab Imaging Analysis Software.

Steven E. Petersen, PhDEast Building, Room 2108Phone: 314-362-3319This lab is interested in brain organization and function,particularly for language, attention, and memory. Our mainapproaches to these issue is through functional MRI and large-scale network analysis.

Joel S. Perlmutter, MDEast Building, 2nd FloorPhone: 314-362-6026Pathophysiology of Movement Disorders. The lab is primarilyinterested in etiology, pathophysiology and treatment ofbasal ganglia disorders. We have several studies of PD. Weinvestigate mechanisms of action of deep brain stimulation, adramatic new treatment. These studies combine PET, cognitivetesting and quantified measures of movement. We also test newdrugs that might rescue injured nigrostriatal neurons (a modelof PD). For these, we use PET to measure dopamine pathwaysand also quantify motor behavior. We also have an activeprogram developing and validating neuroimaging biomarkers forPD and integrity of the nigrostriatal pathway that includes studiesin people and animal models of PD. We have an active programcombining a variety of approaches to develop biomarkers andinvestigate the pathophysiology of dementia associated with PD.We use PET to measure radioligand binding and sensorimotorprocessing in dystonia. We developed a new animal model ofdystonia to investigate pharmacologic and physiologic changes.We use PET to investigate drug-mediated pathways in the brainand parse out the effects of selective dopaminergic agonists.We also are working to develop MR-based methods includingDTI and resting-state functional connectivity to investigate brainmechanisms underlying PD and dystonia.

Brad A. Racette, MDMcMillan, 9th FloorPhone: 314-362-5291Our lab is primarily interested in environmental risk factorsassociated with Parkinson's disease. We use a variety of

techniques to study these risk factors, including traditionalfield epidemiology in which we evaluate workers exposed tometals in the U.S. and residents living near a smelter in SouthAfrica, neuroimaging where we study the pathophysiology oftoxin-mediated parkinsonism, geographic information systemsresearch where we associate environmental toxin exposureswith incident and prevalent Parkinson's disease in the U.S. andFinland, and neuropathologic studies in manganese-exposedworkers from South Africa. There are numerous opportunitiesavailable for students to be involved with any of these projects.Students will have some clinical exposure, as well, to familiarizethem with pertinent clinical syndrome.

Marcus E. Raichle, MDNeuro Imaging Laboratory – East Building, 2nd FloorPhone: 314-362-6907In vivo brain hemodynamic, metabolic and functional studies ofhuman cognition and emotion using cyclotron-produced isotopesand emission tomography (PET) as well as functional magneticresonance imaging (fMRI) in humans. Refer also to the listing onthis page for Steven E. Petersen, PhD.

Gregory Wu, MD, PhDMcMillan, 3rd FloorPhone: 314-362-3293Understanding how immune responses are generated that targetthe central nervous system. Specifically, studies on antigenpresentation cell contributions to autoimmune animal modelsof multiple sclerosis. Our goal is to understand what cellularinteractions are critical to the development of immune-mediateddemyelination.

13

Inpatient Service and two weeks on the Adult Consult Service.Students on the inpatient service will function as a Sub-Internunder the supervision of their junior resident, chief resident, andattending physician. The student will also attend weekly clinicalconferences and a weekly outpatient clinic experience. Thiselective is suitable for visiting fourth-year students interested inneurology, who wish to improve their neurology knowledge andskills.

M35 Neurol 830 Neuro-OncologyProvide an outpatient-oriented combined pediatric and adultneuro-oncology experience for fourth-year medical students.1. Attend multidisciplinary adult and pediatric neuro-oncologyclinics and case conferences (tumor boards); 2. Attend adult andpediatric radiation oncology clinics; 3. Attend neuropathologybrain tumor review; 4. Participate in subspecialty brain tumorclinics; 5. Attend monthly brain tumor research conferences.

M35 Neurol 851 Clinical Aspects of Aging and DementiaThis elective provides the opportunity to learn about clinicalresearch and clinical care in health brain aging and dementia.Students should contact the course directors to discuss this,as this elective is customized based on student interests. Thiscan be a two-week or four-week elective. Students can gainproficiency in interviewing techniques and in the neurologicexamination of the geriatric patient, and be introduced toneuropsychology, neuropathology, biomarkers, neuroimaging,genetics, and other biomedical procedures important in thediagnostic evaluation of older adults. The Knight ADRC isan interdisciplinary group, so students have the opportunityto interact with physicians, nurse clinicians, psychologistsand social workers, and to explore the neuropsychology,neuropathology, biomarkers, neuroimaging, genetics, and otherbiomedical procedures used in the diagnosis of dementingdisorders such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewybodies, frontotemporal dementias, cerebrovascular disorders,and affective disorders.

M35 Neurol 859 Neonatal NeurologyThe Neonatal Neurology elective will consist of a combination ofinpatient and outpatient experiences designed to provide medicalstudents with comprehensive exposure to the field. Throughthe rotation, students will actively participate in all aspects ofpatient care, acquiring the knowledge and skill necessary toeffectively manage infants with neurological disorders, includingencephalopathy, stroke, seizures, hypotonia, intraventricularhemorrhage, and periventricular leukomalacia, among others.Clinical activities will be tailored to fit the interests and goals ofthe individual student and include a combination of inpatientand outpatient exposures. Inpatient activities will occur in the St.Louis Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Unit as part of theNeonatal Neurology Consultation service. Outpatient activitieswill occur in the St. Louis Children's Hospital Outpatient Clinics.Students will also attend educational conferences specific to thefield during the rotation, including Neonatal Neurology ClinicalConference and Neonatal Neuroradiology Conference.

M35 Neurol 860 Pediatric NeurologyThe senior elective experience in child neurology is designedto adapt to the individual goals and objectives of students. Theelective takes place in two 2-week blocks that occur amongfive possible venues as chosen by the student: (1) Outpatientclinics, (2) Inpatient ward service, (3) Inpatient general consultservice, (4) NICU consult service, and (5) Video EEG (VEEG)monitoring service. The combination of services and experiences

will be arranged directly between the student and the coursedirector prior to beginning the rotation. In the outpatient clinics,students will rotate between a variety of subspecialty clinicsand work with a variety of attendings in order to experience thebreadth of outpatient pediatric neurology. Students rotating onthe inpatient ward service will have a different role than the third-year student on pediatrics. The fourth-year student will focussolely on neurology patients and work closely with the pediatricneurology resident to develop neurology-specific care plans.No call or weekend duties will be expected on this rotation. Onthe general consult services, students will work with the consultattending and pediatric neurology residents on that team to seeconsults in the PICU, CICU, ER, and other hospital floors.
