Jay Nutt

Jay Nutt is a Senior Professor at Oregon Health & Science University. His research integrates neurology, cognitive neuroscience, and movement analysis to address Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders. He specializes in quantitative gait analysis, postural stability, and the neurorehabilitation of freezing of gait, bridging clinical assessment with functional brain network imaging. His recent work examines levodopa effects on gait in fallers, the predictive validity of digital daily-life mobility measures for future falls, and the neural correlates of motor impairment in Parkinson's disease. His contributions have been published in venues such as the Journal of Neurology and Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, shaping rehabilitative strategies and clinical trial methodologies for gait dysfunction.
