Neuroimaging & Health Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our research agenda centers on the promotion of physical activity for optimal brain health throughout the lifespan<\/strong>. The goal of this research is to prevent or delay the onset of neurodegenerative diseases via physical activity promotion. By targeting specific populations across the lifespan, and by starting in early childhood, our research promotes the cognitive, brain, and mental health of populations most in need, and improves the quality of life of individuals for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve this overall goal, our research centers around the following unique populations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Children with individual or developmental differences – such as obesity, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or early life stress\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Mid-life and menopausal women who are predisposed to stress and\/or depression\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Healthy older adults, and older adults with neurodegenerative disease (i.e., People with Parkinson\u2019s Disease)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    We’re focused on\u00a0making physical activity an accessible option to improve physical health<\/strong>\u00a0and<\/strong>\u00a0brain health<\/strong>. We use activity monitoring devices, cardio-metabolic fitness techniques, body composition scans, cognitive tasks, mental health assessments, and neuroimaging tools for our research.\u00a0
