Faculty


Dean Hillman Ph. D.  Research Professor
Retired Professor of Neuroscience, Physiology and Otolaryngology

New York University Medical Center
550 First Avenue
New York, NY  10016

Dr. Hillman has taught medical and graduate students the nervous system for all his career and done research on various aspects of nervous system organization and function. 

These research results include:
  •  mRNA’s of Purkinje cells prevent cell death
  • Phenotypic neurons of the cerebellum repair neuronal circuitry
  • GDNF in Purkinje cells is reciprocal to receptors in glia
  • Voltage-gated calcium channel protein localization in Purkinje cells at climbing fiber synaptic sites
  • Calcium management in neurons- calcium binding proteins
  • Learning parameter of synapses- Constrained total synaptic contact area per neuron 
  • Parameters of neuronal arborizations as determined by microtubules vs neurofilamants
  • Intrinsic genetic determined neuronal parameters vs extrinsic factors
  • Dendritic spikes in Purkinje cells are associated with voltage-gated calcium channels in association with climbing fibers
