This website is part of a Research on Research Student-Faculty ePartnership, integrating The Ohio State University initiatives toward information technology and undergraduate research.  T.E.L.R. (Technology Enhanced Learning and Research) sponsored ten Columbus campus ePartnerships in Summer 2004. The teams worked together to produce a multimedia eportfolio documenting each faculty member's research. For this particular project Joe Broderick (the web designer) documented the preclinical neuroscience research in Dr. Bruno's Townshend Hall Basement lab, assisting his graduate student Amy Zmarowski.  This research focuses on the neurobiological underpinnings of attentional processing, attempting to understand the various attentional dysfunctions seen in many human neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer's Dementia, Drug Addiction, and ADHD/ADD. The objectives of the research are to better understand the way the brain mediates early stages of information processing (i.e. the detection, selection, and processing of stimuli) and to design and test more effective pharmacotherapies for the treatment of attentional dysfunctions.
