Brain Aging and Behavior Section (HNN-2A3) |
Overview: The Brain Aging and Behavior section (1) conducts research to characterize the magnitude, rate, and regional pattern of age changes in brain structure and function in healthy aging; (2) investigates accelerated changes in brain structure and function that may be early markers of cognitive impairment and pathological aging; (3) examines genetic, neurobiological, and cultural influences on personality traits, and the links between personality and physical and mental health across the lifespan; (4) investigates factors that modify brain-behavior associations in aging, including factors that promote cognitive and affective resilience as well as those that increase risk for cognitive impairment and dementia. |
