Robert S. Dow Neurobiology Laboratories
The Dow Neurobiology
Labs are engaged in investigations that address the anatomic, physiologic,
and neuropathologic aspects of brain and nervous system function. Robert S. Dow, the eminent Portland
neurologist and neuroscientist and co-author with Guiseppe Moruzzi of the
classic text, The Physiology and Pathology of the Cerebellum, first
established the labs on the Good Samaritan (Portland, Ore.) campus in 1979
through a grant from the Murdoch Trust.
An endowment from the Good Samaritan Foundation established the Dow
Chair in Neurology in 1999 in honor of Dr. Dow. Roger P. Simon, M.D.
holds the Dow Chair in Neurology and is the Director of Neurobiology
Research. Major funding for research projects
in the labs comes from the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke; additional support is provided by the National Institute of
Mental Health, the American Heart Association, the Medical Research
Foundation of Oregon and private grantmakers. The Dow Labs are located
at the Legacy Clinical Research and Technology Center. For additional information about ongoing
