Bio<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/b>Dr. Wilkes completed his bachelor\u2019s degree in Neurobiological Sciences, as well as master\u2019s and doctoral degrees in Psychology at the University of Florida. His master\u2019s thesis focused on oculomotor and vestibulo-ocular reflex function in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). His doctoral dissertation focused on the neural circuitry mediating repetitive behavior in individuals ASD and an animal model of repetitive behavior, utilizing magnetic resonance and diffusion tensor imaging.<\/p>\n

Dr. Wilkes\u2019 current work focuses on sensorimotor systems involved in disorders of the brain, particularly basal ganglia and cerebellar networks. He utilizes magnetic resonance imaging to characterize neural circuit structure and function in transgenic mouse models of DYT1 dystonia. He has also generated work using accelerometry to quantify the effects of deep-brain stimulation on tremor in patients with essential tremor.<\/p>\n

Research Interests<\/b><\/span>
\nDr. Wilkes is interested in sensorimotor networks and their complex role brain disorders, utilizing a bidirectional translational research approach with multimodal neuroimaging techniques.<\/p>\n
