June 9, 2022: Congratulations to Junzhan Jing and Corrinne Dunbar along with the rest of the Maheshwari Lab and Jiang Lab! We found that a seizure medication can be more effective by removing its target from a population of inhibitory neurons. View article.
May 23, 2022: The Maheshwari Lab warmly welcomes Bruno Moscoso, who joins as a research technician in the laboratory. Also best wishes to Ana Chavez and Ryan Yang who are going to graduate school and medical school, respectively!
June 20, 2021: The Maheshwari Lab was granted a National Institute of Mental Health R56 grant to further our study of inhibitory networks that regulate sustained attention. We are very grateful for this support!
May 10, 2021: The Maheshwari Lab is excited to welcome Ana Chavez, who joins as a research technician in the laboratory.
July 1, 2020: The Maheshwari Lab was granted the Nancy Chang, Ph.D. Award in Research Excellence
Nov. 9, 2019: Congratulations to Corrinne Dunbar! We found that about 40 percent of patients in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit screen positive for deficits in attention with the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS), making it a useful tool to identify a common comorbidity of patients with seizures.

Jan. 15, 2019: The Maheshwari Lab was granted a two-year NARSAD Young Investigator Grant to help study “Aberrant Phase-Amplitude Coupling as a Mechanism for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.”
Nov. 1, 2018: Congratulations to Suhyeorn (Jane) Park! In collaboration Dr. Tzingounis’ lab at the University of Connecticut, we found that increasing the activity of inhibitory neurons paradoxically caused an overall increase in excitability. View article.
July 1, 2018: The Maheshwari Lab was granted a two-year MacDonald Research Grant “Dissecting the Cell Type-Specific Basis of Pharmaocresistant Epilepsy,” in collaboration with the labs of Dr. Xiaolong Jiang and Dr. Alica Goldman.
June 20, 2018: In collaboration with Jochen Meyer, Ph.D., Jeffrey Noebels, M.D., Ph.D., and Stelios Smirnakis, M.D., Ph.D., we found that absence seizures have a surprising reduction in both activity and synchrony at the cellular level. View article.
