Dr. Ellmore's research focus is the cognitive neuroscience of memory, with an emphasis on the interaction between working memory and long-term memory systems. His methodological approach in healthy subjects includes combining the techniques of functional and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography. A component of his research is patient-based, and he has published studies of brain structure and function in epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, autism, sleep disorders, and stroke. Dr. Ellmore's research bridges basic and clinical approaches to understanding the neural substrates of memory.
