My research centers on understanding sex differences in the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying learning and memory changes in healthy and pathological aging, with a particular focus on Alzheimer’s disease. My lab uses a combination of cognitive, biobehavioral (biomarkers, endocrine profiles), and neuroimaging (structural, spectroscopic, and functional) to understand memory and executive function in normal aging, and seeks to translate these empirical and theoretical findings to model cognitive disorders in psychopathologic and neurodegenerative diseases, where high level cognitive failures can be particularly deleterious both for the individual and society at large.
