Current Activity
Normal brain function is predicated upon continuous neuronal and vascular interplays, a mechanism that is essential to brain function. It is also likely to deteriorate during the cognitive decline associated with aging as well as neurological disorders. Despite previous research efforts, the causes of aging-related illnesses such as dementia remain unclear, and the key to preventative treatment elusive. My research is driven by the need to better understand disease mechanisms, by using neuroimaging to observe the living brain. My research is focused on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
