Dr. Fesharaki-Zadeh's research focuses on traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and frontotemporal dementia, with particular interest in synaptic density alterations and potential treatment modalities. His work combines neuropsychiatric clinical expertise with neuroscience research to develop better understanding and treatments for neurodegenerative conditions.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the intersection of TBI and neurodegeneration, with investigations into tau pathology, synaptic density changes, and potential therapeutic approaches targeting pathways like Fyn and mGluR5. His work spans from basic animal models to clinical applications, including research on treatments for cognitive deficits after TBI and in Long-COVID.
