Meghan C Campbell, PhD

Research Interests

In general, Dr. Campbell’s research falls within the category of Cognitive and Clinical Neuropsychology, with emphasis on the cognitive and behavioral features associated with movement disorders, particularly Parkinson disease. Using a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates behavioral and neuroimaging techniques and principles from clinical science, cognitive psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, Dr. Campbell’s research extends beyond the characterization of cognitive functioning in movement disorders in an effort to elucidate the mechanisms and underlying psychological and neurobiological processes. More specifically, Dr. Campbell is interested in developing a better understanding of how neuropsychological functions relate to the neuropathology, treatment, and comorbid psychiatric conditions of movement disorders. This research has important implications for the understanding and treatment of movement disorders, as well as the more general advancement of knowledge regarding the functions of the basal ganglia and frontal-striatal circuitry.
