The MINDSET lab studies the chronic effects of traumatic brain injury and psychological stress on the brain, cognition, and risk for neurodegenerative disease. We incorporate neuroscience tools including structural T1-weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and fMRI with genetic and molecular markers to examine links between trauma and neurodegenerative disease.
