NEUROPHYSIOLOGY OF AGING AND NEURODEGENERATION LAB
Our research uses neuroimaging to study the structural, functional, and molecular organization of the human brain during healthy and pathological aging. Recent work has focused on how different neuromodulator systems impact brain signaling in patients with neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, with the goal of developing better prognostic markers and targets for clinical intervention.
