Biography:
My research examines the earliest cognitive (e.g., memory decline), affective (e.g., depression/apathy), and metacognitive (e.g., changes in self-awareness) symptoms that occur as Alzheimer’s Disease pathology gains its first foothold in the brain. MRI and PET neuroimaging methods are used to examine concomitant physiologic and structural brain changes.

- Barb and I did one leg of the Alzheimer’s Breakthrough Ride – A fundraiser to raise public awareness and money in support of Alzheimer’s research. The baby boomers begin turning 65 this year… This research is important!
- To see the main website for the ride, see the Breakthrough Ride website
- And to see my blog entry and a not-so-flattering picture of me signing a brain
- I just gave a talk as part of the INS symposium entitled “Self and Awareness in Dementia.” Here’s a pic of me alongside the other excellent presenters in this symposium (from left to right: me, Matthias Schroeter, Robin Morris, Daniel Mograbi).
