Jackson.Lauren@mayo.edu Clinical Profile

SUMMARY

The research of Lauren M. Jackson, M.D., involves the clinical outcomes in people who undergo deep brain stimulation surgery and magnetic resonance imaging guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy. Thalamotomy is when part of the thalamus, which is in the brain, is destroyed on purpose.

Dr. Jackson studies clinical phenotypes in people who have different genetic forms of ataxia. She also explores the electrophysiologic characteristics of different movement disorders.

Focus areas

  • Ataxia.
  • Clinical outcomes in deep brain stimulation.
  • Movement electrophysiology.

Significance to patient care

Dr. Jackson's clinical outcome research allows clinicians and people with movement disorders to better understand and predict long-term risks and benefits after undergoing procedures to treat various movement disorders. Her ataxia research helps to elucidate the diagnoses and clinical symptoms that people with genetic forms of cerebellar ataxia experience.
