Research Interests
Research interests:
(1) Risk factors for age-associated cognitive decline and dementia,
(2) Techniques and tools for detecting cognitive decline,
(3) Brain–behavior relations as they pertain to human cognition, and
(4) Therapeutic strategies to improve cognitive function.
A major focus of our research concerns the role of estrogen and other sex steroids in human cognition and the potential influence of estrogen-containing hormone therapy on the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
