Studies that investigate the biological mechanisms that underlie changes that occur in cognitive functioning associated with normal aging. We are particularly interested in gender-related differences with a focus on the older women. We also study cognitive impairment that is secondary to the development of complex neuro-psychiatric disorders. Of particular interest are those disorders that have a behavioral and cognitive component, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, as well as neuro-developmental disorders such as Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Clinical therapeutic trials of investigational medications for the treatment of behavioral and cognitive symptoms of neuropsychiatric disorders such as Depression, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and panic disorder.
