Profile of Lora V. Hooper.

Lora Hooper, a professor of immunology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, describes her career as “a random walk in science.” Her pursuit of science was aided by inspirational mentors who pointed her in directions she might not otherwise have taken. These unexpected turns ultimately led her to study the microbiome: the community of microorganisms that reside in and on multi...

We effortlessly identify sensory inputs on the basis of temporal patterning alone (for instance, different Morse code symbols) and as effortlessly produce motor outputs with widely differing temporal patterning (slow versus fast walking, walking versus skipping). This ease belies what is, a priori, a difficult task for nervous systems. Indeed, despite its central importance in speech comprehens...

In his ...

Functional MRI neuroanatomic correlates of the Hooper Visual Organization Test.

The Hooper Visual Organization Test (VOT), a commonly applied neuropsychological test of visual spatial ability, is used for assessing patients with suspected right hemisphere, or parietal lobe involvement. A controversy has developed over whether the inferences of this test metric can be assumed to involve global, lateralized, or regional functionality. In this study, the characteristic visual...
