Research Activities: In my lab we use brain imaging in conjunction with neuropsychological measurement to study cognitive disorders of memory and self-awareness. The lab seeks to address questions such as: How early in life does Alzheimer Disease begin and can functional imaging provide new knowledge about presymptomatic disease progression? What are the neural substrates of awareness (or unawareness) of deficit in AD and other cognitive disoders? To answer questions like these we collaborate with a talented multi-disciplinary team, and study healthy volunteers across the age spectrum with and without risk factors for dementia, patients with Alzheimer's disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment, frontal temporal dementias, and patients with traumatic brain injury. |
I'm Assistant Professor in the School of Medicine and Public Health. My primary
appointment is in the Section of Geriatrics in the Department of Medicine and I am affiliated with the
following departments and centers on campus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison: |
