Evan M. Gordon, PhD

I am an Assistant Professor in the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine, who focuses on the identification and characterization of functional brain units at the group and individual subject level. 

I am conducting two lines of research to characterize the organization of the human brain. First, I am working to describe the brain organization of healthy subjects in detail at the level of the individual using Precision Mapping, in order to understand how individuals may vary from each other in the absence of any disorder. This work has identified novel individual-specific brain networks, both in cortex and in subcortical structures. Second, I am identifying aspects of brain organization that are altered or damaged in individuals with movement disorders (Parkinson’s Disease and Dystonia), TBIs, and epilepsy, and I am determining how those differences may result in behavioral symptoms.
