Research in this lab explores how the brain changes with age and how these changes are related to changes in memory and problem solving skills in healthy adults. We are especially interested in finding out how individual differences in predisposition to vascular disease affect age-related changes in brain and cognition. Since 2001, we have been conducting a long-term follow-up longitudinal investigation, in which we use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study changes in brain structure in healthy adult volunteers within a wide age range (18 – 90 years). We also conduct studies on age-related differences in various cognitive abilitities such as memory, problem solving, and spatial navigation.

Research focused on how children and adults learn and remember information. We are particularly interested in understanding the brain basis for learning and memory, and how changes in the brain as children mature into adulthood are linked to changes in behavior.
