Paul Mathews

Paul Mathews is an Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), affiliated with the Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation. He serves as Co-Director of the Neurotherapeutics IWI, focusing on translational neuroscience and neurotherapeutic development.

• Research Themes: Cerebellar circuitry, synaptic timing, neurodegenerative diseases (ataxia telangiectasia, MPS III), and translational neurotherapeutics.
• Key Techniques: Optogenetic fMRI, electrophysiology, computational neuroscience, and ion channel dynamics.

His publications highlight collaborations across institutions, with a focus on cerebellar mechanisms, neuroinflammation in HIV, and auditory processing. Recent work (2024) explores social behavior neural signatures, while earlier studies (2005-2018) cover synaptic integration, motor learning, and drug development.
