Dr. Dubach studies nonhuman primate models of epilepsy. In an effort
to understand changes in the brain during the development of epilepsy
in children, he has reproduced reversible complex partial seizures
and status epilepticus in monkeys, by treating several areas in the
temporal lobe. These studies demonstrate the possibility of long-term
behavioral and neuropathological changes after even a single seizure
episode.
Dr. Dubach is currently primarily involved in the BrainInfo atlas project.
Together with other colleagues he is developing a three-dimensional
map which is designed to serve as a "database in the shape of
a brain". The current two-dimensional version, a gateway to studies
of the brain, can be found at http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu.
