    David Satzer is a functional neurosurgeon and assistant professor at the University of Chicago. He completed residency at the University of Chicago and fellowship at the University of Colorado. His clinical interests include the surgical management of epilepsy, movement disorders, and neuropsychiatric conditions. His research is focused on local field potentials (LFP) in epilepsy. Specific areas of interest include single-cell contributions to LFP, computational models of LFP, and use of LFP in neuromodulation.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
