John D. Rolston,
MD, PhD
Languages Spoken: English
Dr. John Rolston is a neurosurgeon and neuroscientist at the University of Utah, where he is the Director of Epilepsy Surgery and Director of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery. Clinically, he specializes in epilepsy surgery, deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders (Parkinson’s, dystonia, tremor), focused ultrasound, trigeminal neuralgia, and neuromodulation for psychiatric disorders (depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Tourette’s syndrome). The University of Utah offers many innovative treatments for these conditions: minimally invasive epilepsy surgery (laser ablation, stereo-electroencephalography [SEEG]), asleep DBS surgery for movement disorders, directional leads for DBS, and others.
Dr. Rolston received his Bachelor’s degree in computer science from Columbia University. For his PhD, he developed brain-computer interfaces for epilepsy at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University. He received an MD from Emory University before completing his residency training in neurosurgery at the University of California, San Francisco.

Research Statement
Dr. Rolston’s lab investigates how neural engineering can be used to map and ultimately rewire the diseased brain. The same tools can be used better understand neural information processing and how it is disordered in illnesses like epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and psychiatric disease. Dr. Rolston is also active in promoting patient safety in neurosurgery, and has lead several studies examining the frequency and causes of neurosurgical errors and complications.
