Dr. Pappolla's training included 3 complete medical residencies and 2 fellowships (Neurology, Clinical Pathology, Anatomic Pathology, Neuropathology, Pain Medicine), a PhD in human aging with a postdoc/sabbatical in molecular biology and over 20 years of academic practice. He holds active board certifications in these 5 areas (Neurology, Clinical Pathology, Anatomic Pathology, Neurology, Pain Medicine). Some of his research work is cited in several thousand textbooks worldwide, with many papers reaching from 300 to over 1000 citations in peer reviewed journals. His lab was among the first to identify evidence of oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease brain. In collaborations with Dr. Larry Refolo, Dr Suzana Petanceska at the NIH, Dr. Daniel Zambon in Spain and others, we conducted groundbreaking research on hypercholesterolemia as an early risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. As a neuropathologist, he described several unique neuropathologic lesions including the colloid body of Parkinson's disease (later renamed "pale body") and the ubiquitinilated "dot like inclusions" in aged brains. One other important contribution was the development of neuroprotective drugs as potential therapeutic agents. He identified of several naturally occurring neuroprotective substances like indole-3-propionic acid and others. Dr. Pappolla served as a consultant for the National Institutes of Health in the United States including being a chartered member of numerous study sections for over 25 years and as a full professor or faculty at several medical schools (LSU New Orleans, Mount Sinai Medical School in New York City, University of Texas) where he taught Neurosciences to medical students and medical residents for over 20 years.

He has done extensive research on tinnitus and has had a significant role in the development of neurophysiological monitoring.Dr. Aage Møller is known internationally for his innovative research on sensory systems and neural plasticity and for developing methods for reducing the risk of neurological deficits in neurosurgical operations.When Dr. Møller joined UT Dallas 1997, he became interested in abnormalities in the nervous system function among individuals with autism. He developed teaching programs in the biology of pain; sensory systems, neuroplasticity and he established the first university program in teaching IONM in a graduate program. During his time at UT Dallas, he was named the university’s “President’s Teaching Excellence Award,” won Teacher of the Year for the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, and was named distinguished lecturer in Cognition and Neuroscience. Dr. Møller earned his PhD in medical science at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.My most recent book is "Neuroplasticity and its Dark Sides: Disorders of the Nervous System". I have been editor or co-editor of seven published books, most recently, "Textbook of Tinnitus", published by Springer 2010, 95 chapters and 785 pages. One of my books have been translated to Japanese and two have been translated to Chinese. I am the author or co-author of more than 200 articles in refereed journals, more than 100 book chapters. I was Editor-in-Chief (and founder) of the international journal, Hearing Research for 27 years (1978-2005); I am member of the Editorial Board of many other international journals. I am interested in teaching and I have developed new courses and have been writing books that are used in teaching. At The University of Texas I have developed courses such as "Biology of Pain", "Sensory Systems", "Neural Plastic and Disorders of the Nervous System", "Functional Human Neuroanatomy" and Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring" that I teach in the Neuroscience Program of the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences.

UC Irvine neurologist Arnold Starr, MD, PhD, a longtime chair of the Department of Neurology, has been selected as an honorary member of the American Academy of Neurology.Starr was the second neurologist to join the UC Irvine faculty and became the first chair of the Department of Neurology. He led the division of neurology, as it became a new department in 1977. He remained chair for 10 years. Although retired, Starr continues to teach and conduct research.“Dr. Starr is a wonderful example of the best that neurologists can achieve in their lifetimes,” said Steven L. Small, PhD, MD, Stanley van den Noort Professor and current chair of the department. “In retirement, Dr. Starr continues to be active in teaching and research.” The AAN bestows honorary membership upon those individuals deemed by the Academy’s board of directors to have performed exceptional meritorious contributions to the field of neurology, with national or international impact.

Arnold Starr research intrests include Neurological disorders affecting cognition, sensation and motor behaviors. He is investigating the neurobiological bases of clinical disorders of the nervous system that affect sensation, motor performance, and cognition. His studies employ electrophysiological and behavioral methods to define functional mechanisms underlying clinical syndromes relevant for specific research question. The current interests are two fold:1) Hearing disorder called Auditory Neuropathy and 2) Memory changes in Aging and Dementia

Dr. Pant received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from Agra University, Agra, India. His postdoctoral studies were conducted on the mechanisms of electron and ion transport in model membrane systems at the Department of Biophysics at Michigan State University. He joined the Laboratory of Neurobiology in the NIMH as a senior staff fellow in 1974 with Dr. Ichiji Tasaki where he studied the function of the axonal cytoskeleton in the squid giant axon. In 1979 he moved to the NIAAA extending his studies on the neuronal cytoskeleton and the effects of alcohol on its regulation. Dr. Pant moved to the NINDS, Laboratory of Neurochemistry in 1987 where he is presently chief of the section on Cytoskeleton Regulation. His laboratory is studying the mechanisms of topographic regulation of neuronal cytoskeleton proteins by post-translational modification, including the role of kinase cascades in normal brain and during neurodegeneration.

The major focus of this laboratory has been to study the mechanisms of topographic regulation of neuronal cytoskeletal proteins regulation by phosphorylation and neurodegeneration. In a normal physiological state, cytoskeletal proteins are phosphorylated extensively in the axonal compartment of a mature neuron. Although all the substrates, kinases, phosphatases and their regulators are synthesized in neuronal cell bodies, little or no cytoskeletal protein phosphorylation has been detected in the cell body compartment. Under a variety of neuropathological conditions, however, such as ALS, Alzheimers Disease, or Picks disease, hyperphosphorylation of these molecules has been found in abnormal aggregates within cell bodies, usually correlated with massive neuronal cell death. The mechanisms underlying these profound compartmental shifts in neuronal phosphorylation are not well understood.The normal physiological processes within neurons are controlled by signal transduction mechanisms that regulate the balance between protein kinase and protein phosphatase activities. We have shown that the most abundant and extensively phosphorylated motifs in the c-terminal domains (lys-ser-pro-, or KSP) are primarily phosphorylated by proline directed kinases, cdk5 and MAP kinases. Moreover, we have demonstrated that this phosphorylation is due to activation of the signal transduction cascade. Recently, we have focussed on the other part of this regulation, the protein phosphatases. The other project is to study the expression, regulation and role of neuronal Cdk5 in nerve cell function.Cdk5 is a unique multifunctional kinase. Unlike other cyclin-dependent kinases, it is expressed predominantly in post-mitotic neurons, its activity modulated by association with nervous system-specific propeins. Since its identification and characterization in our laboratory, we have been intensively studying its mechanisms of regulation and its role in nerve cell function.
