Dr. Harold H. Harsch is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He is actively affiliated with the Neuroscience Research Center and the Wisconsin Institute of NeuroScience (WINS), and participates in the Behavioral Health and Sub-Specialty Clinics program. His academic career spans over four decades with publications dating from 1973 to 2013. Dr. Harsch's research interests center on the intersection of neuroscience and psychiatry, with particular focus on depression treatment through cortical stimulation techniques, neuroimaging applications in psychiatric conditions, and the integration of medical and psychiatric care. His work has explored the effects of nicotine on brain activation, treatment approaches for refractory depression, and the relationship between substance use disorders and psychiatric conditions. Analysis of Dr. Harsch's publication record shows a strong emphasis on clinical neuroscience applications, particularly in depression treatment and neurostimulation. His work demonstrates consistent contributions to understanding brain circuitry involved in mood disorders and the development of neuromodulation techniques. The publications span from basic neuroscience to clinical applications, showing an integrated approach to psychiatric research. Dr. Harsch has made significant contributions to the field of integrated medical-psychiatric care, with multiple publications addressing the organization and quality assurance of combined medical and psychiatric units. His work has helped shape understanding of how to effectively treat patients with complex comorbid medical and psychiatric conditions. In terms of academic supervision and funding, Dr. Harsch's extensive publication record suggests experience mentoring students and securing research support, though specific details about current students or active grants are not available in the provided information. His collaborations with researchers across multiple institutions indicate an established network within the neuroscience and psychiatry communities.

Carrie McDonald, Ph.D., is a Professor In Residence in the Department of Radiation Medicine and Applied Science at UC San Diego. She holds affiliations with the UCSD Multimodal Imaging Laboratory, UCSD Epilepsy Center, UCSD Neuropsychological Associates, and the UCSD Translational Brain Tumor Assessment Clinic. Dr. McDonald obtained her B.S. in Psychology from Eckerd College and her Ph.D. in Clinical and Health Psychology from the University of Florida, followed by specialized training in neuropsychology at UCSD and the V.A. San Diego Healthcare System. Her research examines neuropsychological deficits using advanced neuroimaging techniques, with focus areas including: Predicting postoperative cognitive outcomes in epilepsy surgery patients Language/memory reorganization using structural and functional MRI Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease and aging populations with epilepsy Advanced diffusion imaging for brain tumor monitoring She actively leads NIH-funded projects on brain aging in epilepsy (BRACE study) and multi-site neuroimaging initiatives through ENIGMA-Epilepsy. Dr. McDonald's recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate strong emphasis on artificial intelligence applications in epilepsy diagnostics, neuroplasticity in bilingual patients, radiation-induced cognitive changes, and international classifications of cognitive disorders. Her work integrates machine learning with clinical neuroimaging to develop predictive models for surgical outcomes. Honors include: NINDS K23 Career Development Award Epilepsy Foundation/American Epilepsy Society Fellowship UCSD Fellowship in Biological Psychiatry and Neuroscience She mentors graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in neuroimaging analysis and neuropsychological assessment methods. Current NIH R01 grants support investigations into cognitive resilience, brain network reorganization, and transdiagnostic biomarkers across epilepsy syndromes. Dr. McDonald directs the Lab of Cognitive Imaging, which focuses on developing novel imaging biomarkers for cognitive outcomes in neurological disorders. The lab collaborates extensively with the UCSD Epilepsy Center and international consortia to translate research findings into clinical practice.

Dr. Justin Botterill serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology at the University of Saskatchewan, where he leads a neuroscience research program investigating hippocampal circuits in behavioral disorders and epilepsy. His work bridges molecular, circuit, and behavioral levels to address fundamental questions in cognitive neuroscience and neurological disease mechanisms. Dr. Botterill's academic journey includes: BSc (High Honours) in Psychology, University of Saskatchewan PhD in Cognition and Neuroscience, University of Saskatchewan Postdoctoral Fellowship, Department of Psychology, University of Toronto Scarborough Postdoctoral Fellowship, Center for Dementia Research, Nathan Kline Institute & NYU Langone Health His research program focuses on dentate gyrus circuitry with dual emphases: 1) Mossy cell regulation of cognitive/affective behaviors using optogenetics and behavioral pharmacology, and 2) Temporal lobe epilepsy mechanisms through EEG, circuit manipulations, and therapeutic testing. The lab employs transgenic models to dissect specific cell populations' roles in seizure generation and cognitive comorbidities, addressing critical gaps in treatment-resistant epilepsy. Analysis of his 2020-2024 publications reveals consistent focus on hippocampal microcircuitry in disease models, with increasing emphasis on sex differences and therapeutic interventions. His work spans molecular neuroscience, systems-level circuit analysis, and behavioral phenotyping, frequently appearing in top-tier journals like eLife and The Journal of Neuroscience. Key recognitions include: Cover article designation in The Journal of Neuroscience (2021) Multiple eNeuro features (homepage cover, blog highlight, featured research) Society for Neuroscience Zoom Background Images feature Dr. Botterill actively mentors graduate students through direct supervision of experimental design, technical skill development, and manuscript preparation. His recruitment notice specifically seeks students interested in behavioral neuroscience and epilepsy research, indicating robust lab funding and project continuity. The lab's multidisciplinary approach fosters strong publication output with clear translational pathways. Located in the Health Sciences Building (Lab: GD10 HLTH), the Botterill Lab maintains state-of-the-art facilities for rodent behavioral testing, circuit manipulation, and neural recording. The team collaborates extensively with epilepsy clinicians and computational neuroscientists to bridge basic research and clinical applications, with particular focus on developing targeted interventions for treatment-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy.
