Dr. Diana K. Sarko is an American scientist[1], Associate Professor[2], and director of Neuroscience Research and Anatomy Education at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. She received her undergraduate bachelor of sciences degree in Neuroscience a Behavioral Biology from Emory University and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Florida. She completed her postdoctoral training at Vanderbilt University and was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anatomy, Cell Biology & Physiology at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine before joining Southern Illinois University.
Dr. Sarko's research focuses on understanding specialized sensory processing in animals and how sensory systems work together. She has published research articles on tooth movements [3],sensations[4] and other behaviors[5] found in the naked mole rat[6], whisker sensation in the rock hyrax[7], the lateral line system in manatees[8], whisker movements in the manatee[9][10][11], the brain structure of the american water shrew[12], touch sensation in the Northern grasshopper mouse|northern grasshopper mouse[13], and the ability of dolphins to recognize themselves in a mirror[14]
