RESEARCH
What we study.
Overactive Bladder (OAB)
Underactive Bladder (UAB)
Voiding Dysfunction
Neurourology
Artificial Urinary Sphincter for the treatment of (Male/Female) Stress Urinary Incontinence
Urogynecology/Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery
Transitional Urology: adults with congenital genitourinary abnormalities
Minimally Invasive Pelvic Surgery: pelvic organ prolapses, urinary fistulas
Brain Regions Involved in Bladder Control
This interactive viewer highlights 19 brain regions of interest (ROIs) that have formed a core set of regions used in several of our neuroimaging studies of lower urinary tract control. Examples of our work using or investigating these and related bladder-control regions can be found in Salazar et al., 2026; Bayer et al., 2025; Mazeaud et al., 2024; Schott et al., 2023; Shi et al., 2021; and Shy et al., 2014.
