The MINDSET lab (MRI Investigation of Neurodegenerative Disease, Stress Effects, and Traumatic Brain Injury) aims to understand the impact of traumatic brain injury, psychological stress on the brain, and overall health outcomes. We employ techniques such as MRI to investigate the neural underpinnings of cognitive processes like memory, attention, social, and emotional processes. We also explore genetic and epigenetic factors moderating outcomes following injury and throughout the aging process.
