Keith McGregor is an Associate Professor and Director of Research in the Department of Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences. His work currently investigates aging-related declines in motor control and its implications to stroke rehabilitation. His current projects employ multimodal imaging and neurophysiological techniques (TMS, rTMS, tDCS, fMRI and DTI) to investigate brain function. Dr. McGregor's work has shown that aging is associated with decreased levels of cortical inhibition, which affects m...
Dr. Gabriel is cross-trained in exercise physiology and epidemiology with expertise implementing physical fitness and physical activity measures in large, observational studies. Her research interests focus on two key areas of inquiry. First is the development and evaluation of methodological strategies that optimize the precision of physical fitness, physical activity and sedentary behavior measures that are practical for use in large, population-based studies. The second is to examine the timi...
