Lab of Natalie Ebner, Ph.D. Department: Psychology Hometown: Zurich, Switzerland Doctorate from: University of Zurich, Switzerland Research focus: Neural mechanisms underlying speech perception, language processing and socio-emotional cognition in aging. My work combines EEG, MRI and psychophysiological methods to identify early biomarkers and modifiable risk factors of cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. What…| McKnight Brain Institute » University of Florida
Lab of Aprinda Indahlastari Queen, Ph.D. Department: Clinical and Health Psychology Hometown: Daytona Beach Doctorate from: University of Florida Research focus: Noninvasive brain stimulation as a potential intervention for cognitive decline related to normal aging or pathological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. What drives me: Being able to contribute to…| McKnight Brain Institute » University of Florida
Lab of: Ramon Sun, Ph.D. Department: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio Doctorate from: Tufts University Research focus: Neuron subtype-specific metabolic constraints underlying selective vulnerability and neurodegeneration. What drives me: The remarkable complexity of the nervous system and the challenge of making sense of it. Each day in science feels like the chance to…| McKnight Brain Institute » University of Florida
Lab of Emily Fox, PT, DPT, MHS, Ph.D. Department: Physical Therapy Hometown: Parker, Colorado Doctorate from: University of Colorado Boulder Research focus: Mechanisms of neuroplasticity that enhance motor recovery after neurological injury, with an emphasis on how interventions like acute intermittent hypoxia facilitate voluntary motor output. My work integrates neurophysiology, biomechanics and biomarkers of intervention…| McKnight Brain Institute » University of Florida
