Karen Davis (neuroscientist)
About
Karen D. Davis is a Neuroscience professor at the University of Toronto where she holds a Canada Research Chair in Brain and Behaviour and is the head of Division of Brain, Imaging & Behaviour Systems, Toronto Western Research Institute (TWRI). Her main interest is the central mechanisms underlying pain and temperature perception, the influence of attention, and mechanisms of plasticity under normal conditions and in patients with neurologic or psychiatric disorders. A variety of experimental techniques are used, including functional brain imaging (fMRI, PET) psychophysical and cognitive assessment, and electrophysiological recordings in the thalamus and cortex. Davis' laboratory has developed innovative brain-imaging approaches, culminating in the first functional MRI images of brain networks underlying the human pain experience and the first images of the impact of deep brain stimulation for Parkinsonian tremor. Her research has increased the understanding of pain, attention and plasticity associated with neurological and psychiatric disease. Davis has also created educational programs and published the book New Techniques for Examining the Brain.
