Name:   Miklos Argyelan, MD
Position:   Research Scientist
Research:   Dr. Argyelan uses PET and fMRI to study Parkinson’s disease patients. His recent projects focus on learning and on the regulatory mechanism of dopamine. He hopes to shed light on the circumstances under which L-dopa facilitates or impairs learning.
