Neuroscience
Dr. Kane has been fascinated by behavior
and emotion since he was a child. In
medical school, he encountered a
patient who suff ered from schizophrenia
and bizarre delusions. Dr. Kane was
intrigued by these dramatic and disabling
symptoms, and was even more interested
in how medicines available at the time
reduced patients' symptoms. Since
that day, Dr. Kane has been dedicated
to researching drug discovery and the
development of new treatments for
schizophrenia.
NEUROSCIENCE
Psychiatric Neuroscience is to
study behavioral health to identify
causes, triggers, markers and
treatments for such illnesses as
bipolar disorder, schizophrenia
and other psychotic disorders.
Combining diff erent perspectives
in multi-disciplinary research is
key to making advances in these
illnesses. The Feinstein Institute
and the Zucker Hillside Hospital
provide valuable platforms to
advance such eff orts.
