Catherine J. Stoodley, BS, MS, DPhil Director, Cerebellar Cognition and Learning (CerCL) Lab

neuromodulation with transcranial direct current stimulation, and behavioral testing to investigate the functional anatomy of the cerebellum and the type of processing that the cerebellum performs. Her seminal studies on the functional layout of the developing cerebellum, the type of processing it performs, and the impact of cerebellar dysfunction in clinical and developmental conditions are recognized nationally and internationally.

She graduated with a BS in Biology from Tufts University. Dr. Stoodley completed her master’s degree and DPhil in Neuroscience at the University of Oxford with Professor John Stein, and she completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Jeremy D. Schmahmann, M.D., at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Stoodley is an elected Fellow of the Association of Psychology Science, the leading international organization dedicated to advancing scientific psychology across disciplines. At Children’s National, Dr. Stoodley serves as Director of the Developmental Cerebellar Cognitive Lab, which will be at the forefront of transforming our understanding of early-life cerebellar injury and recovery using leading-edge brain imaging methods and brain modulation tools.
