Cognitive and Neural Bases of Working Memory and Aging
Understanding
the Brain
How
much brain power do you use when you perform a task? That’s
what the NPR Lab is trying to understand in research at UTD
Center for Brain Health, and the answer has important implications
for healthy aging.We are a cognitive neuroscience lab studying
the mental processes involved in using working memory and
how those processes change during aging. We study the relationship
between brain and behavior in healthy individuals with functional
brain-imaging (fMRI) and neuropsychometric experiments. We
also study brain function in individuals with neurological
impairments in an effort to better determine how the impairments
affect mental functions. To find out more about our research
studies, click the research tab above.
The NPR lab
consists of three state-of-the-art laboratories in the Dallas area:
The Center for BrainHealth ®,
The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX
The University of Texas at Dallas,Richardson, TX.
