Professional Interests

• Major research interests are in the area of cognitive change with age
• Disease-related changes of cognition (with a particular focus on Alzheimer's Disease)
• The relationship of cognitive change to brain structure and function, as assessed through imaging (e.g., MRI, fMRI, SPECT) and genetics
• Recent studies have focused on how to predict who will develop Alzheimer's disease over time
• Additional research efforts have included epidemiological studies of predictors of the maintenance of cognitive function, as well as cognitive decline
