Lisa Eaton

Lisa Eaton serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, specializing in the neurological and psychiatric sequelae of brain injuries and substance abuse.

Her research focuses on:

• Traumatic Brain Injury Complications: Investigating rare neuropsychiatric phenomena including Fregoli delusion and medication-induced hypomania
• Opioid Neurotoxicity: Documenting cognitive and behavioral consequences of overdose and prescription misuse
• Rehabilitation Neuroscience: Developing social training methods for frontal lobe epilepsy and executive function deficits

Recent 2019 publications demonstrate evolving expertise from early work on delusional syndromes (1999) toward contemporary substance abuse neurology, with significant citation impact (60+ citations for seminal TBI papers). Her research consistently bridges clinical neurology, psychiatry, and rehabilitation science through mechanistic exploration of brain-behavior relationships.
