Soroush G. Sadeghi

Dr. Sadeghi has worked on imbalance and its compensation since 1990s. He has studied compensation following loss of balance in patients and animal models. Specifically, he has compared rehabilitation programs in patients with chronic balance (vestibular) disorders, investigated the underlying changes in neuronal networks during compensation as well as changes at the cellular level in the receptors that provide the sense of balance. He is currently using both cellular and systems level approaches in his laboratory at the University at Buffalo to better understand changes that occur in vestibular pathways during compensation. The goal of these studies is to gain a better understanding of balance pathways and find specific drugs and rehabilitation methods to improve compensation in patients with imbalance and dizziness.
