He completed an MS degree in Neuroscience prior to medical school, with a research thesis on the validation of intracranial microdialysis for measurement of synaptic serotonin overflow. Subsequent to medical school he completed post-doctoral research training at UCSF investigating language and other cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia, and at Mount Sinai investigating neurochemical and cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia-spectrum and borderline personality disorders. He is currently a post-doctoral scholar at UCDMC using cognitive neuroscience methodology to investigate neurochemical and cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia.   Dr. J. Daniel Ragland Dr. Ragland's work investigates the effect of schizophrenia on brain function during episodic memory encoding and retrieval. Of particular interest is the role that organizational abilities play in new learning and subsequent memory retrieval, how schizophrenia disrupts these organizational processes, and how these deficits might be remediated to improve patients' frontotemporal brain activity and daily function. His research has used a combination of neuropsychological and functional imaging techniques (133Xenon, PET 0-15, BOLD fMRI) to identify the cognitive functions and brain regions underlying these memory processes. Other research interests include developing translational fMRI memory paradigms for mouse and human, and investigating the neurological basis of food craving.   Dr. Marjorie Solomon Dr. Solomon graduated from the doctoral program in the Department of Psychology at U.C. Berkeley. She is a licensed psychologist and an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and the MIND Institute.
