Timothy Koscik

Timothy Koscik is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics Neurology Research at the College of Medicine, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. His research laboratory focuses on advanced neuroimaging techniques to investigate neurological disorders, brain development, and neurovascular pathologies. Research address: 4301 W Markham, Little Rock, AR 72205.

Research interests span:

• Neurodegenerative disorders: Myotonic dystrophy, Huntington's disease, and spinocerebellar ataxia using diffusion tensor imaging and volumetric analysis
• Neurovascular pathophysiology: 3D mapping of aneurysm wall enhancement and rupture risk stratification
• Developmental neuroscience: Brain maturation trajectories in pediatric populations including cleft lip/palate infants and cancer survivors
• Advanced MRI methodologies: Development of segmentation algorithms (Deep LOGISMOS) and multimodal brain atlases

Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on:

• Longitudinal tracking of neurological disorders using structural/functional MRI
• Quantitative biomarkers for disease progression (white matter integrity, blood-based markers)
• Clinical-neuroimaging correlations in symptomatic presentations
• Sex differences in brain structure/function across neurodevelopmental contexts

Active grants include:

• ACHRI Flow Through: ACRI SAF Recruitment (PI, 2022-2023)
• Brain Development and Pre-Speech Function in Infants with Isolated Oral Clefts (PI, 2022-2023)
